Decent HS level wrestling puts you worlds above Royce? Kinda like Dan Severn was worlds above Royce you mean? And as for your 'large, large size advantage' - Royce always did better against big guys. Have you actually seen his early fights?
Since I'm no fighter - I'd look for the easiest match possible and the one most likely to leave me injury free.
I'd either choose Royce (he'd tap me without really hurting me much) or Jimmerson (he tapped when the fight hit the mat). Unless you won the tournament, there's no money...so I really wouldn't be very eager either way.

LMAO at how delusional some folks are.
You realize that If Dan Severn knew what "sprawl and brawl" was, he could have KO'd Royce in like 3-4 minutes, easy, and it wouldn't have been REMOTELY competitive?
The advantage i have is knowledge. I was a decent HS wrestler, I'm a blue belt in BJJ and unless Royce could get me to the ground and keep me there, I would likely fuck him up on the feet because I am much, much bigger and am early-mid 20's while he is 41.
I'm not saying I'm a lock. I'm saying I would definitely have a chance. If Royce got me down and could hold me down, EZ game. But I don't think he could.

Well duh. BJJ blue belts own. Everyone knows that. Why do you think Tyson and Royce are both retired?
I'd like to get a bunch of the old timers in a room and just shoot the shit. Listen to the stories. After a while I'd just sit waiting for a fight to breakout and I could watch all the dream matches that never happened (it would be like sitting in a room full of lesbians hoping they kiss)
