Roy Jones criticized Alvarez for the fight with Bivol

Legendary American boxer Roy Jones does not understand why the absolute world champion in the second middleweight Saul Alvarez moved up to light heavyweight to fight Dmitry Bivol.

“Most of the time when you move up in weight, you just want to win a title there. You do it and move on. Either you stay there, or you go back to where you came from. You already did that when you beat Kovalev. Why come back and do it again? Do you want to become a two-time world light heavyweight champion? What does this prove? So why was it necessary to waste time running into Bivol, who was already a problem?

If you did that, did you think it would be easier with him than with David Benavidez or Jarmell Charlo? You have money, so if you want to show us something, fight with Demetrius Andrade. Why challenge another light heavyweight when you've already achieved your goal once? You chose the right opponent and you did it. Go away and drop it. Don't stay, don't go back and forth - you will confuse yourself," Jones said on the ProBox TV Pocast.

Recall, on May 7, Bivol defeated Alvarez by unanimous decision.
