    ...and Tyson is declared 'Man of the Year' for his supreme act of altruism, in having turned Jones Jr down.

    Tyson KO1. However, Roy gets the victory as he is able to last more than 30 secs.

    Imagine trying to justify sanctioning this fight after Roy Jones Jr dies in the ring in round one.

    SMH.

    The first attribute any fighter needs to beat Tyson is a legendary beard. The second attribute is the ability to tie him up.

    After Tyson kills him ( Literally) boxing is declared too brutal and Congress banishes the sport.

    No way RJJ wins this. Tyson was one of those fighters where you had to be AT LEAST his size to have a chance at beating him. As soon as Tyson caught RJJ, it would be a replay of Tyson/Spinks

    If you want to see RJJ vs a D'amato fighter, it would be more fair to match him against Floyd Patterson

    Wasn't prime Jones 168 pounds?

    I don't like Roy's chances in going for the Fitzsimmons Memorial Trophy, but good luck to him.

    KO the first time Tyson lands something other than a jab flush.
