    Tyson had been exposed by that point.

      No the only person Tyson ducked was Lewis the first time around and I'd even give Tyson the benefit of the doubt and say that he clearly wasn't ready for Lewis at the time, regardless.

      This guy talking about "Did Roy copy Naz or did Naz copy Roy?"

        Roy should have tried to fight Chris Byrd after the Ruiz fight. HBO was going to give Jones a lot of money for that fight. But he moved down back to LHW. 2 fights later it was the only time I was close to crying after a boxing match. Thank God the after party was the **** and Roy showed up also. This was at the Mandlay Bay Ball Room. Best party I ever been to

        As for the question, Tyson has only ducked Lewis. But Lewis also made it known on the Lergendary Nights series that he wouldn't have beaten an 80's version of Tyson.

          It was the other way around. That's why RJJ went for Tarver which was supposed to be the 'easy' fight. Much less risk than fighting Tyson who even past his prime was a huge risk.

            I remember at the source awards during that year they both came out together to present an award. Jones called him out in front of the entire audience. Mike said he didn't know. But it was probably like how Floyd was asking Winky for a fight.

            Either way a Jones vs Tyson fight would have been huge
