    Who would win? 193lbs Roy Jones Jr VS Prime Mike Tyson? (1986-'89)

    The way i'm looking at this is Roy Jones Jr moved up to Heavyweight and beat John Ruiz becoming the first middleweight Champ to win a Heavyweight title in 106 years.

    When Mike Tyson fought Michael Spinks, Spinks was the first Light-Heavyweight titlist since Tommy Burns in 1908 to win a Heavyweight title. See where i'm coming from? Though Spinks lost to Tyson.

    So that's why I decided to make this poll. If the Roy Jones Jr that beat John Ruiz fought prime Mike Tyson (1986-1989) who'd win?

        Tyson in his prime was just to big and strong. Jones would out speed him, but Tyson was very fast too.

          Jones wasn't a legit heavyweight, and Ruiz was slow and sluggish.

          That mid-80s version of Tyson would have stopped Ruiz in 2 rounds and stopped Roy in 8.

                Jones fought Ruiz because it was obvious he was going to win.

                Jones wouldn't be boxing again if he fought Tyson at the time.
