this is not much different than saying prime PBF verse prime RJJ, or Prime Morales against prime Hops, maybe prime Pac vs. prime McClellan. I can go on and on when you ask ridiculous questions your gonna get obvious answers, and i'm a huge Roy fan
does anyone think tyson was more of a physical/ athletic freak than rjj? rjj in his prime was a freak of nature, but i always found prime tyson more of a freak. some of the fastest hands at heavyweight, quickest heavyweight i've seen, crushing power etc.... tyson by brutal ko 1 after uppercutting rjj head off, by the way.
Roy's main asset is speed, and a young Tyson might have only been a hair slower nullifying his only real advantage.
:huh Foreman was a huge puncher and Frazier was a come-forward fighter. Tyson is a huge puncher but Roy is everything but a come-forward fighter. I don't see how it is comparable to Foreman-Frazier other than that one of them (Jones) will be knocked out badly. Tyson absolutely destroys lesser fighters, more so than fighters who are better than him like Ali.
Well I didn't necessarily mean he would hold him off with punches...I should have said he might be able to stay away from him for a couple rounds.
