Roy Jones V mike Tyson 2003-05

Williams was a strange fighter, sometimes he took a lot of punishment sometimes he capitulated rather easily.

Every single atg puncher has had fights against less than stellar opposition where they weren't doing a great deal of damage. Not a good gauge.

If Jones could take heavyweight power he would have campaigned at heavyweight.

 

That's what I thought. Roy wanted to be a heavyweight bad. People never really gave him his due because he washed up his opponents in his division. Roy would of loved to compete as heavyweight and get more attention and respect. He just wasn't built to be a heavyweight. In general fighters that move from light heavyweight/ middleweight to heavyweight usually don't fare too well.

 

So why didn't this fight happen?

Tyson was handling Williams till his knee popped, a good 1 1/2 years after he smashed Etienne. Roach had Mike in shape for that fight (225 lbs.) and would take Jones seriously.

 

No 175 light heavy is stopping Tyson. :nono At least none from 2003-2005.

 

There might of been but I doubt Roy was one. Possibly. I know for a fact Tyson could take Roy's punches and keep going. But if Roy messes up one time and Tyson connects, the fights over.

 

It's not like the Jones that fought Ruiz was going to get caught flush from Tyson. First off, you have to be able to track Jones down and even if you do, there is no guarantee you will get in a flush shot as he will use his reflexes to avoid or roll with the punches.

Most likely scenario is Jones simply embarrasses Tyson via wide UD or late KO. Tyson has a puncher's chance the first few rounds but after that, it's over. Speed kills.

 

Its not like ruiz was ever as fast as any version of tyson.

 

RJJ couldn't even knock out David Telesco! He has a snowflake's chance in hell of knocking out ANY version of Mike Tyson.

 

tyson was so far gone by the time of the mcbride fight id find it impossible to find anyone who he could have beaten even the ali of the berbick fight beats him .
