    Now that is interesting. I always thought that Mike Tyson power was overrated and his KO mostly came from his speed. Now that he is 54 years old I wonder if he would knock any decent opponent. I would expect RJJ to be the fastest in the ring. It is true that RJJ doesn't have a good chin, but if Tyson is to predictable and not fast enough do you think that RJJ would actually toy with him? I don't know but to me, the "ifs" is about Tyson in this fight. If he shows good heart and still has enough speed, if he walks over Jones, if and if... but this is a real fight about two LEGENDS. It aint going to be easy and nothing guarantees a win here. Who is the more shot fighter of the 2? RJJ is not prime for sure, but one thing, he is not a junkie or an alcoholic with personal problem and when it comes to his training he always has been a professional. Again, if Tyson is in good shape and ready. Big ifs. I do not trust Tyson much for this fight and I assume RJJ will give a surprisingly good performance.

    Prediction RJJ split decision

    Tyson still has the muscle memory and technique to put some serious mustard on his punches. He may be shot to bits but he still hits hard enough to beat the brakes off most people.

    If he genuinely lands on Jones - and doesn't pull his punches - then Roy wakes up after Christmas.

    If this is a real fight Jones won’t last a round. Jones has one of the worst Chins in the sport.

    I don't think Mike knows how to pull his punches, so Roy better be ready

    Jones's life is in serious danger, and I am not happy about it. The guy was a PEDS cheat, but I don't want this to be his comeuppance.

    The thread title is a bit of a contradiction. An exhibition isn't a real fight.

    You're an idiota. Tyson had nearly zero speed against Botha but he could destroy him by a one punch ko.

    The guy gave a heartfelt & discerning analyses, none of which you could dispute.
    Now if you claimed that power would be the whole difference you could be correct.
    However it is not a great comparison, because Botha never had much speed & Tyson must be way further gone now.

    But what concerns me is that you call someone an idiot for no reason.
    Why be vicious & petty & damage all your credibility & respect here?

    Do not post at all if you cannot control being malicious.

    Roy was fighting up until 2 years ago. Mike has been away for 15 or so years...... if they really do "go at it" then I think the the gap in activity is too big.
