    It would not be interesting at all IMO.

    I don't see it going much different than Tyson vs Spinks did to be honest.

    Perhaps it would last longer because of Roy's athletic capabilities. He could avoid Tyson for a while but not for long.

      Jones would give Tyson some trouble with his movement, remember fighters like Tucker, Tillis, did trouble Tyson with there movement. And Jones is much faster than those guys. But Tyson is much too strong for Jones at Heavyweight and his extra size and power would be too much and he would stop Jones round about the 6th round after Jones is ahead on the scorecards.

        Tyson KO.

        Pretty early. I agree with Machine.

        RJJ is no heavyweight, and Tyson was quick.

          Jones would once again be lying on the floor with poop in his shorts (like the Johnson fight) staring at the ceiling waiting for the ambulance to come.

          I thought Roy was awesome in the 90's but when he beat Ruiz his head swelled to epic proportions talking about the Klits and ko'ing them, etc, etc.

          Respect Roy for what he was, great at 168-175 in the 90's.

              You have to make it at a catch weight, say 190, to make it interesting (so that there would be enough weight drain to affect Tyson.)

              I disagree with Machine that a prime Roy Jones would have performed as pathetically as the "scared for his life" Michael Spinks.

                  I agree i think its little disrespectful to Jones to say he would have performed like Spinks did. Spinks didn't want to fight end of and looked for a way out he almost **** himself before he even got in the ring. Jones would lose yes but he would do 10 times better than Spinks done.

                    it would've been a good fight but a prime Tyson would've caught Jones with a mean punch and knock him flat
