prime mike tyson vs prime roy jones jr

[robjr]

Difference is, Tillis was a legit heavyweight contender fighting a teenage Tyson. There are weight divisions in boxing for a reason. Jones is a light-heavyweight whose best wins were against middles and light-heavies. He did absolutely nothing to suggest he'd have a prayer against Tyson.

valid point. But these are to sick fighters in there primes. Its not like Tyson is taller than Roy. I know picking mike in this fight seems like the more obvious choice, but a prime jones has more of a chance than people think

There were talks of him going up to heavyweight even after Jones Sr convinced Roy not to fight Douglas.

99% of the time, I really enjoy reading the history forum, it's a shame that the NSB morons have been coming in here more recently. A lot of the posts in this thread are pretty silly.

FIRST ROUND KO...

ONCE TYSON CONNECTS. its DONE. and Prime Mike when he was 20, had AMAZING handspeed.

[res]

and? did'nt he have arms to push? is'nt that a jones kinda thing to push his opponents back and lean back on the ropes and then react when the opponent throws to maneuver out the corner/ropes?

wait.. so who did tyson knockout with bodyshots?

He knocked down Spinks (one of the best light heavies of all time) with a body shot.

Jones moves to much for tyson. he makes him miss hits tyson with 3-4 punch combination and grabs. It will be a technical breakdown with Roy jones wining

It's called cutting off the ring.
Most Of Roy's opponents were ****** enough to stand across from him and Box.

Oh and it isn't going to be easy for Roy to wrestle with Tyson on the inside.

Mike actually is taller than Roy. Mike standing up is 5'11 1/2 Roy is 5'10 1/2 or 5'11.
