    One punch from Tyson ends the fight. RJJ not a real heavyweight and you guys know it.

    Yea, Roy did have a bad habit of going straight back with his head up, it's just, no one ever hurt him much in his prime so he got away with it but I could definitely see that happening.

    If Roy frustrates him through 8, banking the rounds then he wins comftorbly, barring a big shot from Tyson.

    I agree that nobody beats a prime Roy, but I'd limit that, and say from 160 to CW. Heavyweight would of been different, he's not much smaller than Mike, but someone like Lennox Lewis is all wrong for Roy.

    :patsch U guys shitting me? Roy Jones in his prime was a middleweight, LHW at best. Tyson would run him over. He's too big, and he's the worst style matchup for Roy. Aggressive, elusive, KO artist,not to mention tyosn was extremely gifted himself. As soon as he tags Roy it's over , and very likely in the first round.

    As good a RJJ is, i see Tyson by an early KO. Tyson had the speed and head movement to cut the ring down and get in Roy's face. Massive RJJ fan, but think a prime Tyson is too much for him

    This would be a ridiculously easy night for Tyson. Knockout in the first.

    He has absolutely no chance, and I mean that literally. None.

    Imagine if Tyson catches Roy with the left hook he caught Bruce Seldon with. Seldon was a big dude. A completely shredded 6'2 220lbs. Tyson bounced him off the ropes like a rag doll. If that left hook touches any part of Roy how does his internal organs not explode?

    You kids have never seen how mind-bogglingly quick, freaking powerful, strong and relentless to the body Tyson was, have you?
