    There's no doubt I my mind Tyson would of killed him, if they both met each other back in the day, but considering Tyson lack of activity and Jones activity. If they were to fight today, could Jones beat Tyson now, or does Jones taste the canvas once again?

    Tyson knocks Jones out but quits before the ref counts to ten.

    FACT!

    Not sure how much he weighs now, but he has lost a good amount of weight. He looks in shape.

    I don't think it is a given that 03 Tyson destroys the 03 HW Jones. That fight would have been interesting IMO.

    Current Roy Jones sure beats Tyson. Tyson hasn't trained boxing like over 10 years now? and Roy's been active all the time. Roy Jones KO1 if they fought now.

    Unless Mike lands a clean one, Roy stops him.

    Mike was a SMALL 5ft9 heavyweight. Its not like a big 6ft4 genetif freak like George Foreman making a comeback.

    Heck, Foreman still probably hits like a mule.

    Prime for prime, Roy couldn't have kept Mike off of him in my opinion.

    In the early 00's, I'd have given Roy a real chance.

    Today? I'd have to see Mike train and spar. He'll obviously still have the power, but when was the last time he even put the gloves on? I don't even think he's had an exhibition bout for 10 years. Roy can still fight at a low level, but we don't know what level Mike could fight at right now. He's 50 in June. I guess I wouldn't be shocked if Mike caught him and knocked him out, or if Roy evaded him for an extremely uneventful points win. It's a tough question to answer.
