    Safety-first points win for Jones, and I think there's a chance that Toney would have stopped him at that point. Tyson just aged terribly; prison, substance abuse and a lack of in-ring discipline all contributed to him looking like a shell by the end of the nineties. And after Lewis used him for target practice in 2002, the last bit of fighting heart and desire had been beaten out of him, too. He was just too washed up to be competitive with anyone even resembling a world class fighter at that point, even if they were blown-up Super-Middles / Light-Heavies.
