Roy Jones Jr vs Mike Tyson (Fantasy Fight)

Definitely!

Mike quit, and said he didn't want to disgrace and embarrass the sport anymore.

He was done at that point.

Danny Williams stopped him the year before.

The Ruiz version of Roy would easily have beaten him.

 

Im sorry but I just don't buy it.

Tysons backers didn't match him against Williams and McBride because they were second rate fighters, who happened to have the style and physical assets to beat him.

They matched him against them because they were the only kind of fighters he could still beat, where people would pay to watch.

If they had thought that he could beat a smaller name fighter, they would have jumped at the chance to match him against such a fighter, for a big money fight.

 

Williams and Mcbride were still pretty big guys who had a size advantage over Tyson, something Jones wouldnt have.

The uppercut Tyson hit Williams with in the first round sends Jones head to the moon.

 

ok i give you 25

:rofl

 

So what if McBride had a size advantage? He wasn't a good fighter.

IF Mike had've landed that uppercut on Roy, then yes I agree. But that was a very big IF.

 

I can't envisage it. Not that quickly. Roy would have been on his toes, and Roy would trouble any heavy in history with his speed.

I think there's tons of heavies who would have beaten Roy, and Mike was definitely one of them. But you're saying that Mike could have just walked straight over and knocked him out.

Mike didn't knock out everyone in 25 seconds even when prime.

 

:deal

 

Tyson will land. He's not getting shut out. Not even against RJJ.

 

Mike really didn't play with smaller fighters. He tested their body well and came up. Usually most bigger guys took the body punches, but the head punches which the body punching created knocked them out eventually. The smaller guys fell with the body punches, or only one or two of the head punches. Roy would probably not last one or two rounds.

 

I can't see how the McBride version of Mike who quit, landing anything on Roy.

 

Mcbride tyson was genuinely done, he was winning the fight on the cards and got tiered, his heart was not in it and gave up. Only time he quit though, usually he would take his beating and go out like a man. But this tells you alot. Jones would have prob beaten him. Tysons killer instinct had long gone by then
