  • Roy Jones Jnr vs Mike Tyson Early 2000's?

    In the early 2000's Roy Jones Jnr won the WBA heavyweight title of ruiz. He said he wanted to win the heavyweight title and the only fight he wanted at this weight was against mike tyson. This was 2003 but how would a jones v tyson match ended?

    Jones could have ended the fight by TKO. Mike would quit ala Duran vs Leonard at that point in his career. 2000, Mike may have knocked him out. 02-03 Mike stands no chance at beating a guy with Jones athleticism.

      Mike Tyson was just a shell of the former legendary fighter he was in the late 1980s which is why Jones wanted to fight him, Tyson had absolutely nothing left at that stage other than his name and it showed in his performances against Williams, Lewis & McBride.

        Jones wouldn't even contemplate getting in there with an old Buster Douglas in the late-90's. What does that tell you?

        Roy & I have the same prediction --- Tyson, brutally.

          Roy outclasses him worse then Ruiz Tyson was 100% shot after the Lennox fight

            Tyson had the power, but as a fighter he was gone at that time. Roy would fight a smart fight and beat "that" Tyson.

              Yep, exactly why Jones wanted to fight him. Big money little risk.

                Tyson by Ko within about 3 rounds. There is simply no way Jones could avoid Tysons left hook for more than 2 rounds. If Tarver can Ko him with a overhand left, just imagine what a left hook from Tyson would of done to him

                  Jones was a pumped up smw, Tyson would of outweighed him by at least 40 lbs come fight fight, he walks threw everything Jones throws at him. On top of that Jones was carrying 10lbs which would of slowed him down and made him tire down the stretch.

                    Most important question is not what he does with the game up top but how he will defend himself from body shots; Tyson knows how to cut off a ring.
