But like you said Tyson was a wrecking ball and seeing him get pounded all night was amazing. Tyson you had a feeling or at least I did that his style could get him in a lot of trouble if the fighter could hang in there and get through the erly rounds but with Jones the things he did to guys made you think he couldnt be touched although he always had flaws...so personally Im torn
    Tyson was a God in 1990.

          At that time, Roy was only a blimp on the radar to what Tyson was at that time. Having 27 fights in less then 2 years should clear this up. Tyson of course.

            Roy was older when he lost to Tarver and even though it wasn't supposed to happen it wasn't completely ridiculous. Buster over Mike in 1990, given what Tyson was and Douglas wasn't at the time, was the most unimaginable thing not just in boxing but damn near period. No way that upset will ever be topped.

              Douglas-Tyson by light years.

              Jones-Tarver 2 isn't even the biggest upset of the past few years. Hell, it wasn't even ranked as the biggest upset of 2004 involving Roy Jones.
