    I had to LOL but I was expecting something like this... thought it would be Mike and Evander though. I don't know why people were expecting Mike to step in with an active HW.

    As someone already stated, let the old guys have fun and make a little money. I wouldn't mind seeing a few more fights like this, basically guys stepping back into the ring for one last hurrah.

    Maybe we'll see Oscar/Tito II and a few others... who knows.

    I highly doubt that. I love Roy, but he was great in his prime due to his incredible physical attributes (speed, reflexes), which are now all but gone. If Tyson lands, it's all over.

    One could make the same argument about Tyson's incredible physical attributes. His power comes from speed and explosion I don't think it ages the same as clubbing power like Foremans did

    True, but at the end of the day Tyson is still a HW.
    I doubt anyone here believes Roy punches harder.

    Of course Tyson punches harder but I really do believe if it turned into a real fight Roy would weather the storm and then Tyson would fold quickly. Jones has a little left....Tyson has nothing left.

    I don't think Roy hits harder but I could see him lighting Tyson up just based on age and the fact that he's been in the ring far more recently

    Tyson looks like he’s on hgh in the latest videos, his abs are protruding and more unnatural than when he showed up for the McNeeley fight.

    This is going to be a glorified sparring match between two legendary names

    Don’t expect any high drama or brutal knockouts

    When you have a Glass Jaw as bad as Jones anything is possible. Anything. We might get Shattered Glass live in crystal clear HD.

    Given the damage Roy took late in his career, he shouldn't even be sparring. Hopefully no heavy blows are landed.
    I'm intrigued though and I admire Roy's passion for boxing.
