Who had a more unbeatable aura.Roy Jones Jr or Mike Tyson

I know when Mike was king, I was in the camp of thinking that he would never be beat. Of course, now I realize how silly that was.

After Mike lost, I have never applied that "unbeatable" label to anyone else.

 

Hard to say, they both looked unbeatable in their prime. I would go with RJJ though, that speed was unreal.

 

indeed it was unreal, in fact it was unnatural and inhuman...

 

Bums like Toney and Hopkins and numerous other world champions?

I see.

Well they're no Pinklin Thomas or a decrepid Larry Holmes.

 

Close one. Im going with Jones. Power speed and extreme elusiveness. Tyson never knew how to fight backwards.

 

lenocks lewis

 

tyson. he fought the best around from 1985-90.
rjj is a known ducker ala mayweather

 

Tough choice, but I'd say Jones.

 

Tyson no contest

 

I don't think there was ever a fighter thought of as more unbeatable than when Iron Mike was on his rampage.

 

Tyson after the Spinks fight would have beaten any fighter past or present, they said.

 

Tyson easy. I mean Roy was great, but I knew back then that he was avoiding various people. Tyson pre Douglas was a phenom, although I was aware his life was already in the shitter.

 

Tyson, but is was just an aura, he got fed a lot of cans to build that hype and failed to beat any elite heavyweight in their prime.

 

Evander Holyfield disagrees.

Jones beat a much higher calibre of opponents.

 

Tyson and it aint close..
