    Tyson of 1996 was still fast, ferocious & conditioned! Jones would not be able to hurt Tyson & that means he's in trouble straight away!

    Jones boxed his way en-route to beating Ruiz in 2003, but the Tyson of 1996 was a better fighter than Ruiz ever has or ever will be. Tyson has forgotten more than Ruiz will ever know, ever!

    As soon as Tyson lands it would have an effect on Roy. Don't try telling me Jones would have danced around or would have been to fast for Tyson, because like I say, Tyson of 1996 was still a force.

    Too much of a force for Jones. Tyson by KO within two rounds!

    Tyson by KO.

    Tyson in his day was mobile and quick, it would be a mistake to think he wouldn't catch him. In addition, I'd love to see Roy try his rope a dope against Tyson, that would be very entertaining. If Tarver and Johnson could put him to sleep, then God forbid what Tyson would do to an even prime Roy at Heavyweight

    tyson by big and early ko. jones chin is so-so and he ahtes pressure and mike was FAST not a big lump like ruiz.

    the little guys coming up to beat HW is a fun annomoly---but it rarley happens agaisnt in their prime HW, ususally silledguys who are still holding their own on skill and experience but starting to slide (holmes vs spinks) not fast still very athletic HW. even a guy as so-so as aereola would be hellish for a lighter weight guy just because he'd be so physicaly potent

    Where's Rico Spadafora ? He usually smells these kinds of threads miles away.. I'm sure he'd even suddenly stop banging Jessica Alba just to write about Jones Jr.'s............................Glass Jaw ! That's right you guessed it !!

    Mike would just rush him and end his life.

    jones would never get into the ring with that Tyson. He'd get murdered in quick fashion.

    No matter how great and gifted Jones was at one time,he just doesnt have enough to keep Tyson from manhandling him,Tyson in 96 was still awesome yey he had forgot some of his boxing skills and lots of his defensive skills,but he was still very fast and hit just as hard! It wouldnt take long for tyson to get to him and as soon as he did it would be over. Jones doesnt even have a good chin as a light heavy so hed be done as soon as Tyson hit him clean,this isnt John Ruiz.Jones mobility might keep him alive 3 rounds tops.Brutal knockout 2nd round

    Tyson brutally. The 96 Tyson was still pretty fast, and Jones wouldnt be able to hurt him at all.

    Tyson doesnt just nibble his ear, he literally eats him in the ring. (KO early in other words).
