    I don't agree...

    Oscar vs BHop in my eyes was a mismatch and it showed as soon as the bell rang. Oscar got some shots off, but nothing that made BHop switch gears. BHop was just a bad style match up for Oscar who only had 1 previous fight at the weight while BHop was a 7 yr long defending champ.

    Also, to outbox Tyson you also need size. Evander was able to outbox Tyson because he had the size to keep him off and push him while he set his jab up. All Mike would need to do is rush Jones, push him around, and throw punches. RJJ's counter punching would have no effect on Tyson's chin whatsoever. RJJ gets KO'd.

      Tyson vs. Ali would probably be the biggest fight ever; if you think about it we could possibly have had it, had Tyson been born a few years earlier, and had Ali been born a few years later than he was.

        RJJ had Power at Heavyweight. Also, Jones(Pre-Tarver) never got RUSHED by anyone. Outboxing tyson with Handspeed and Quick Footwork could have worked

          If, by some amazing miracle, Jones made it to round 7, he could POSSIBLY beat Tyson.

            It's call Hatton v DLH at wembely.

            Don't know if it would generate the same numbers now than a prime for prime and undefeated Hatton.

              ehhh.......

              the last 2 were impossible because of the timeline of when they were at those weight.

              the 1st one was possible but would never have happened.

              roy jones wouldn't even get in the ring with a buster douglas that just got ktfo by evander holyfield.

                  Klitschko vs. Klitschko ~ Hav you ever seen two brothers fight? They don't back down and are hard to break up.

                    i bet you rocky marciano vs. muhammad ali would have been the top drawing fight.

                    white vs. black is always a factor.

                      scary thought.

                      i can picture those 2 clinching and then all of sudden start making out.
