    Who is more of a phenom.........Jones, Pac, or Tyson? i mention these guys because their athleticism is so rare and does not come around too often, its also what makes them the fighters they are, they are physically gifted.

    In Jones you had a guy who broke all the rules fundamentally and was as fast as bullet, could also knock you cold with one punch.

    Tyson, a 5ft 10 HW knocking out bigger men who in some instances towered over him by 5/6 inch's, tremendous speed and one punch power.

    Pac a non stop punching machine with speed & power who went through the weights.

    3 abnormally's

    Thoughts......

    Jones

    Tyson was explosive but didnt have the fast bouncy movement RJJ or Pac has.

    Pac IMO is behind jones p4p in terms of speed although he trumps both in terms of stamina.

    I would say Tyson, but you could make an argument for Jones as well. For me though, It was just incredible to see a 220lb man, move as fast and explosively as Tyson.

    Pac is a great fighter, but he doesn't have the same talent as either of these two. No current fighter does.

    Tyson. The most entertaining boxer for me.

    Jones is awesome too, but sometimes fought too safety first.

    When Pac really lets his hands go, his intensity and fluidity is amazing. And he doesn't run out of energy.

    I think im with you, just the explosivness and the fact he was 220lb & 5 ft 10 and was able to do what he did, unreal!

    i think you could make a strong argument for either jones or tyson. jones' pure athleticism was a wonder to watch in the ring. i've never seen anything like it. but the same could be said for tyson's explosiveness and speed for a man that size.

    thing is we've seen little that compares to either man so its hard to put one over the other.

    RJJ but then again he didnt have the intensity of someone like pacquiao. Also pacquiao seems to have legendary durability as well. RJJ is a once in a lifetime athlete though.

    Excuse me? Jones clowned around and had fun, but if he wanted to **** you up.....he was bad dude. That guy, that Roy Jones on that night, might be the most intense and dangerous fighter ever :deal
