    Maybe you should learn to type better because nobody can understand what stupid people like you trying to say.....Oh wait. Nobody cares what you type. So after I type this I will block you to show you how little I care.

    John Ruiz wasn't naturally a big fighter. He was a 6'2 190 pound guy. He put on weight later. That is why he fought the grab and hold style. When he fought a real killer in Tua he was knocked out in less than 30 seconds.

    Ruiz was never considered a world class fighter. So when Jones Jr beat him real boxing fans weren't shocked. Even then if you would actually watch boxing instead of beating off to it like you do. The boxing world wanted Jones to win and the dirty grab and hold style they allowed Ruiz to do against everybody else they didn't let him do against Jones.

    Also as I said John Ruiz isn't a elite fighter like George Foreman, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, either Klitschko and others.

    Your poor straw mans attempt to prove your point just shows you are how stupid you are. That is like saying if lets say Sergei Kovalev beat Butterbean that means Kovalev could beat Elite heavyweights. Butterbean at some points in his career weighed twice as much as Kovalev but nobody considers Butterbean a elite fighter.

    So dumb dumb the thread is about a fighter who is 170 pounds and considered world class against a heavyweight who is 220 plus who is considered world class. There smaller world class fighter will always lose to the bigger world class fighter.

    Now on that note enjoy being blocked like the countless other people here who don't know boxing. I don't know why I waste my time typing to Europeans to begin with. The world doesn't care what you people think.

    Tyson had speed skill and power.he wasn't much slower than Jones but was much stronger and hit harder .Jones would beat a big bloke with limited skill and speed that isn't tyson.

    Not a great way to prove your point on size. Like many said before Tyson was very skilled also. And would be totally wrong for R.Jones. In fact I'll argue the point your trying to make, but in reverse. Though Tyson would be all wrong for Jones, Jones was able to go up to heavyweight, and dominate J.Ruiz. How was he able to do that? His skill level, thats how, though Ruiz had the advantage in being a naturally bigger man . He was totally out classed by his opponents skill level. So yes a smaller man can beat a bigger man, if the skill level completely favor the smaller man.

    Jones had tremendous offensive skills. You can take an excellent athlete and throw him in the ring, but if hasn't learned punch techniques, he can't do anything. Jones had punch tecnique. Punch techique is a component of "skills."

    The problem was he did not have great DEFENSIVE fundamentals.

    He used quick reflexes to avoid shots and counter very quickly.

    Once his reflexes slowed, he was much more vulnerable defensively. Then, his less than great chin was exposed.

    But, a fighter does not accumulate all the great wins and titles Jones did without being skilled.

    You will argue my point.

    Your inflated ego - seeing yourself as the resident expert on here will compel you to do so.

    But, I do not believe you to be the objective expert you see yourself to be.

    Spinks would be a better match up for Jones, but not Tyson.

    And Tyson that fought Botha. No aggression, no movement, just look like a punching bag. At least he still look fast in first round against Lewis although gassed out quickly after that. Against Botha, its merely that one-punch KO punch that literally saved him. Botha is slow fighter and Tyson still couldnt see his punches coming, let alone Roy Jones punches. So I'd give Jones some chance to beat that Mike.

    I know where to begin. You aren't very bright...the few smart people here can't see that. Anybody who is stupid enough to think Jones Jr would beat Tyson is a idiot. Anybody who is stupid enough to think this thread was meant to be serious is a idiot.

    As I said I made this thread for the stupid people who love to put 160 to 180 pound fighters with 220 plus pound heavyweights and say they would win.

    Sane people know Jones would knocked out in 1 round even if he tried to run.
