    1939 Jack Roper. How long does it go?

    About 2/3 of a round

    Jack survives until Mr. Furley steps in and puts a stop to it. Mike and Jack shake hands and go on a double date with Chrissy and Janet.

    Not really a fair matchup, since Tyson was still young and in his prime while Roper already had over 100 fights and was shot by 1939. Roper from the 1928-1932 on the other hand might take Tyson 8-10 rounds or even the distance, since even though he was prime Tyson’s timing was already starting to slip in 1989.

    Jack beats Mike with "the Roper Dope".
