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

[Weltschmerz]

Silly thread... Jones only could do what he did because it was Ruiz.

Love RJJ. But c'mon, man.

Mike Tyson is a HW ffs

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?

You didn't watch the Michael Spinks fight did you ? same results

Not sure if you really asking , but you should go watch Prime tyson fights , ppl usually remember the later time in his carrer when he was done mentally , but when he was prime.... RJJ will be in a hospital before the 3rd round.

Jones is really a great light heavyweight regardless of his adventure with mediocre heavyweight champ Ruiz. The prime Tyson was a real monster. He had 220 pounds of rock hard muscle on his short,stocky 5ft 11 inch body and he had great speed and power in both hands. He took Spinks out in about a minute of the first round and Spinks had been a great light heavyweight. I doubt Jones would last much longer than Spinks did against Tyson.

No way Roy keeps a peak Mike Tyson off him. Mike moved too fast. I think it would end early, inside 2 rounds.

One good thing came out of this thread , i rewatched 1 hour of tyson fights , the guy was a BEAST in his prime , i wish we get another animal like that again , so much power speed and technique , was fun.
