Iron Mike gets a lot of crap but when he was in his prime he would beat people before even walking into the ring and if he didint he'd beat the crap out of them in it. A brutal puncher with great speed for a HW and great chin.
As a person? awful human being. A rapist and a scared (his own words) emotionaly little man, which was his curse.

RJJ picked his HW fight carefully. CW's like Jirov & Gomez would've gave RJJ a million times more difficult fight than Ruiz ever could, same with LHW Michalczewski.
Ruiz was a hesitant, low volume HW. Put the 195lb version of RJJ in with a pressure fighting HW with a strong chin, decent speed, who'll walk through his jabs & feints and it's a different story.

If Tyson lands within the first 4 rounds, I'd go for Tyson by KO. If it went past 6, Roy Jones by UD or late TKO.
Tyson was a great heavyweight but past the 6th he was a shadow of himself. Jones could last 12 but only if he boxed smart and moved the first 6 trying to get Tyson tired. Jones wouldn't have the size to tie him up and frustrate him like Holyfield did but he could move.
