    Prime Mike Tyson 1988 vs Prime Roy Jones Jr, 15 Rounds. Would Tyson walk right through Roy? Or would Jones outbox Tyson?

    To be honest, the fancy moves will not do Roy Jones Jr any good if he is put to sleep by Anesthesiologist Mike Tyson, courtesy of a right hand in round 1.

    My kind of autism! But Tyson KO 1 or 2 rounds.

    Now if RJJ opted to fight Lennox Lewis rather than John Ruiz and if he had beaten Lewis, I'd give him more of a chance here.

    This would make Spinks-Tyson look genuinely competitive!

    But Jake.. What's the chances of Roy beating Lewis?
    In that particular case, if Lewis comes out lazy, then Jones gets to see at least 2 rounds imo.
    But if Lennox is pissed off over something, then look for Roy to be launched over the ropes!
