Prime Roy Jones vs 97 Tyson

Its a close one!
Tyson has the punch power to trouble anyone.
But RJJ jaw is made of granite.
I go with RJJ by UD.

Did I really say that?:nut

 

no way tyson would have the power to knock jones out.

 

It would not be pretty for Roy.

 

Roy's head is detached from his body after two minutes of the first round

 

Tyson beats him at the press conference when he bites the head off Roys ****.

 

Good point and true...:yep

IF this is when I'm thinkin' it was, (right after Roy won HW WBA from Ruiz?) ...(That when I remember the fight bein Real Possible)....

IF Jones had won, maybe he'd have stayed at HW a little longer and gotten another big win or two? He'd have not lost all that muscle weight and get ko'd like 3 times in row?

A Big Win for Tyson right about this time could have maybe stayed the severe down ward spiral we know now?

I would maybe pick Mike....prolly by KO within' 5.
Though one could see Roy winning a UD too.

(I was thinkin' this was around 2002-ish?) :yep

 

Roy has the skill but lacks the size and strength to beat this version of Tyson, who was very rusty and not as skilled before prison BUT still had his incredible physical talents.

 

:good Tyson KO imo

 

tyson would have to be careful that roy didn't draw him into a toe to toe battle.

 

Imagining a Middleweight Prime version of Roy at Heavyweight, I'd pick Roy. But the Roy who fought Ruiz, I don't know. He obviously wasn't as effective at that weight. I dunno man, I think he could do it to be honest.

 

Tyson by early KO. Jones would not withstand the intense fury Mike Tyson fought with early in a fight.

 

I'd go with Roy. He'd be too quick for Tyson. Tyson wasn't quite in his prime, so I would think Roy would just outbox him the way he did with John Ruiz.

 

Roy is going down
