Could Roy avoid the early KO is the real question. If Roy and his glass chin make it past round three sure. He could out point Tyson in 2003. That’s a big “if” though.
Highly doubtful. My best guess is he goes a few rounds longer than Spinks, and looks good only in very brief flashes that give false hope to the segments of the crowd rooting for him. If Jones had a granite chin it would be much more interesting.
I think Jones would be outpointing Tyson ,but Tyson would eventually land something big and stop Roy. The last thing to go is a fighter's power.
Roy wants a guy playing the feint game on the outside. And a fair fight. Tyson will not cooperate. And how in the world is Roy going to deal with the dirty tactics of a Tyson anyway? The ref is going to be a DKP ref and it is going to be hard to dq him. I see Tyson doing something illegal on the inside--like that arm crank thing--and then following up with punches. And Roy is looking for a fair fight and looking to the ref for help. But there won't be any and he has to fight this guy off him. And he will not absorb Tyson's punches for long at all.
