Whos more talented Jones or Tyson?

[sisforshaq]

oh hell no. i would rather quit
then looking embarrassing like
jones did against johnson. that
was embarrassing.

Well just to let you know.. you're wrong, Id rather go out with some pride and keep fighting then quit on my stool.

how you gonna have pride
when you looking like a *****
sleeping on the canvas.

You gotta be kidding me. Jones took punches until he couldn't take them anymore. In the sport of boxing, quitting is the ultimate disgrace to a warrior. Typical Tyson blinders from an average joe sports fan.

I gotta agree with the sentiment that Tyson had the power punching talent while Jones possessed the greater athletic ability.

[Tarver is my dad]

Tyson had great physical talent while Jones had great athletic talent.

The sport is called boxing, you get knocked out, its part of the sport. That doesnt take away your pride. Trinidad could have very easily quit againest Hopkins and Winky after gettin shelled but he didnt that shows his character. Jones being knocked out doesnt make him a *****, quiting on your stool like Mike Tyson did makes you look like what you would call a "*****"

sorry but jones looked ridiculous.
when johnson put him asleep

[Truth]

I'd say Roy Jones Jr. seeing as how he lasted a lot longer than Tyson did. Though a Tyson puncher with Roy Jones movement and countering, holy ****

I agree but I would say its close...

[XionComrade]

Mike Tyson is probably the most well trained and talented athlete ever, he was just to ****** and had no reason to use it in his prime, and as of late has forgotten it all...

[The Fix]

roy could have quit against johnson but he ****** it up like a real fighter does and took the loss like a man....

tyson quit on his stool and didnt attempt fighting mcbride, thats heartless.....

and roy wasnt beaten in his prime like iron mike was and roy has beaten all the great fighter he has faced; the same cant be said about tyson who never beat a great.


both were skilled but in all honesty mike doesnt deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as jones, holyfield, lewis, dlh, hopkins or toney, he was great for a short time and like teddy atlas said he was just a "flash in the pan"
