"I can't wait to see the Ryan Garcia Tank fight thought. It's kinda like Wilder, not Wilder, it's kinda like, yeah, Wilder and Joshua. Whoever hits first is going to win the fight. They both can punch but they're both susceptible to a knockdown or a knockout."

He added:

"We know Ryan can punch, but we know Ryan goes down. We ain't necessarily seen Tank go down but we know Tank can bang. So its like, I feel like whoever gets there first is gonna get the job done."

Roy Jones Jr. explains why Heavyweight boxers today can not imitate him

In the same interview, the Hall of Famer was questioned by Elie Seckbach as to why boxers nowadays cannot imitate his fighting style. Usually, boxers draw inspiration from boxing greats to mix and match and come up with their own style of fighting.

However, Roy Jones Jr.'s fighting style was very different and unique. He could carry all the way from the light-middleweight division all the way up to the Heavyweight division.

Very few boxers have been able to carry their success to a different weight class, let alone dominate in as many weight classes as Jones did. Here's what he had to say about it in an interview with ES News:

"Because it's almost impossible unless you got the technique. You got to have that foundation built that my father put in me. If you don't got the foundation, it's very difficult to carry out all the stuff I carried on."

Roy Jones Jr. went on to say that it has nothing to do with athleticism. He explained that the boxer has to have a good foundation from a young age, which can be developed over the years.
