If Mike in first gear can't avoid hurting a 6'6 300 lb heavyweight who is 9 years younger in a exhibition bout....Roy Jones is going to take a rocket ride.
1:31 accidentally drops Sanders
3:35 accidentally catched Sanders with a 30% overhand right then has to hold him up.

The people who are saying Tyson can't compete at around 80% of what he did in the 90s have never been in a Boxing match or they're jealous.
People confuse Tyson's mental state with his physical state. When Tyson was "shot" he was shot mentally and even admitted it.
The question now is what is Mike's mental state compared to 10 years ago.....any fool can see he's a million times better. His physical state has not deteriorated too much. Just timing and ring rust.
80% of Tyson is a top 10 heavyweight in 2020
Bang on about the mental state. That’s always been Mike’s achilles heel. His mind is weak. Always has been. At least at the level of the best in the world. That’s what defeated him. His own mental ferocity could not match his physical ferocity. And Lennox/Vander knew that and beat his mind. The other losses Mike took he gave himself.
Can this thread be closed please. I'll be buying this at this rate because this threads getting me curious.
:lol1: Dig DEEP into your pockets and pony up. This "fight" is more interesting and worth money than any fight that could be made without Haymon, Arum and Oscar smoking each other's poles.
. Neither boxer will take it easy. They will both be will paid and they will both go all out to get the win. Too much pride is on the line for either man to give less than a 100% effort and they both know their opponent will be trying their best to win. Tyson just said he will try to KO Jones just as should be expected. Jones probably can't KO Tyson but he will try to beat him up and box his ears off. Forget the exhibition stuff. This is war.
Posters state Mike cannot box long when he’s doing 10 miles in one session ? I don’t think the average poster on here including me can run a mile without gasping for air running at a good pace without stopping .
Tyson is a top athlete in the world . Roy is going to be in trouble because he’s not going to out run Mike in there if he goes seek and destroy mode but one things for sure it’s easy to dupe boxing fans who have very unrealistic and short term memories when matching fighters there’s even a thread about how Roy is going to knock him out ? Ha
- -Mike and Roy show got all U Candyboys melting in their heat.
Mission Accomplished!!!
or how about mike tyson was a killer and doesnt have the ability to go hard enough lol that's roy's only hope. he better pray that tyson is physically washed up. tyson still has his power though so we'll see what's what.
Tyson was shot 20 years ago. He hasn't beaten anybody with a pulse since 1999.
Nobody gets knocked out by two garbage journeymen in their late 30s and then comes back better in their mid 50s. roy jones jr has been getting knocked out by journeyman for almost the same amount of time. both are shot its a wash. the thing is the chin on jones jr is so bad its funny. tyson may really hurt him.
Exactly, at least there’s a few posters who get it on here . I thought I was the only one . Ha
Mike is easily a top 10 heavyweight right now , check out this interview by one of his trainers at the current state of him .

"No heavyweights in their 20s and 30s are training as hard as Mike trains now"
That was heavy because you know its true!
Roy was fighting and winning in 2018.
Tyson last fought in 2005, got knocked out.
Before that he fought in 2004, got knocked out.
Beat a bum in 2003, got knocked out in 2002.
Roy went 17-5 after Tyson retired.
Roy is shot to pieces but Tyson is shot to pieces + 20 years.
All Roy has to do is stay outside and Tyson will be easy pickings.
The two biggest problems here are #1 youre comparing them as if they were equal fighters in their prime. Jones was fast but 60 pounds separate them in their primes.
#2 Jones is shot physically. Tyson was shot mentally. Mental can be repaired. Physical cannot. Jones's brain has retired from Boxing. That's why he gets KO'd so easily. Your brain shuts down quicker and quicker as it loses the ability to sustain damage. He has already robbed himself of his 60s and 70s. in 8-9 years Roy will talk like Riddick Bowe. He'll be trapped in his own body like Ali was. It sucks but the damage is already done.
Now he's going to absorb a punch from Mike Tyson who is still physically about 90% and probably 100% of his power? Jones has one chance, that is to run and lose a decision. That will frustrate Mike. Frustrated Mike throws real punches. This ends very badly for Jones, but I hope he is getting what he needs from all this. I know right now he is feeling on top of the world back how it was in his prime. The world is looking at him as he faces a big challenge. This is what gets fighters hurt or killed.
Exactly. So how is he going to beat Tyson?
