Kovalev is a monster but he would struggle to win a round against a prime Roy. He could even get stopped.

Nobody was jumping to fight roy back then.....Chris Eubank even said fighting him would be like suicide...He knew he'd have to war just to have a chance to win...Roy wasn't going to England or Germany to get screwed like he did in the Olympics...Roy was the A side and the draw
[B]Up until he was 35 Jones was only dropped once and 49-1 across 4 weight classes[/B].....people wanna make jokes now because he is a middle aged
In his prime Hall of Famers like Hill, Toney, Hopkins and McCallum could barely win rounds and the other world champions he fought either got embarrassed or knocked out most times....up until he fought Tarver the second time he already had defeated
Kovalev either gets UD by a wide Margin or stopped late fighting Jones from 96-99
Imagine Kov vs Roy jones even just before the first Tarver fight at age 30-33....Still a wide UD....Roy stopped going for the kill when he got older

Roy Jones by decision, a stoppage isn't out of the question either.
People always mention Roy's chin in this matchup but what about Kovalev? you could argue his chin is suspect too.
Prime Roy was dropped once and he pretty much won every other second of that fight. I think the speed difference would be apparent from round 1 and Kovalev would have a hard time setting himself to land the shot that knocks him down and out.
