    Tyson did not seem to go qiote all out vs. Jones, I think he could have taken him out.

    Why would anyone think Jones, as superb as he was, would have a decent shot against Tyson?
    No amount of 'roids gets him there.
    And at his peak fighting competency & size, no way he can match up against prime Tyson.
    Tyson would catch him, question is how far could Roy get.
    Maybe middle rounds.

    I have to take Roy by early KO here.

    Tyson would be near comatose after making 168 pounds. They’d have to take him to the ring on a gurney.

    It goes for as long as Mike wants it to. Or for as long as Roy can stay away from him.

    Tyson by 1st round KO.
