Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: Me & Mike Tyson, In Our Primes, Would Probably Beat Fury, Joshua

[removed]

The Buster that fought Mike was on another planet that night.

Excuses excuses. Mike was overrated.

Excuses excuses. Mike was overrated.

Both statements are true, though. Buster was a beast that night and Mike was overrated.

Dirty Fury was a ''beast'' in the rematch AND he is overrated AND he's fighting in what can be considered the worst HW era of all time (during the SHW explosion definitely).

... in his "prime", Roy Jones had nothing to do with the heavyweight whatsoever...

... so let Mike Tyson speak for himself...

Why not?

Buster Douglas knocked Tyson out and he wasn't in Fury's class.

Mike was a mental midget and Fury wouldn't have been scared of him either.

Fury would've took him into deep water and drowned him.

Against that version of Mike Tyson Fury may have stood a chance because Mike was a broken fighter. He stopped training hard in the gym. He had no drive, will or motivation. He stood too erect and was relying to heavily on loading up on single power punches at a time. That was the Don King's Mike Tyson.

However, against the Cus D'Amato/Kevin Rooney Mike Tyson no way. There has never been a heavyweight before or after him. Mike was the total package then with upper body movement, slipping punches, jabs, feints, footwork, body punching, left uppercuts, right uppercuts, left hooks and right crosses.

Also, if Fury decided to move then Mike would have cut off the ring.

Ehh.. Tyson? KO chance the first half. RJJ? He ded. Size does matter. That said, MT and RJJ were awesome, exciting fighters, they just have no business in the Super HW division.

RJJ a bit deluded nowadays.

Fury will lose very soon when he does people will stop over rating him

mother fu

Fury will lose very soon when he does people will stop over rating him

Isn't that the motherfuckin' truth? So far he hasn't done shit in his career with one of the weakest resumes currently in boxing and already they are putting him on the Mount Rushmore of all-time great heavyweight boxers. This Tyson Fury hype is just a bit much after his defeat over a very limited fighter in Deontay Wilder.

[James Hunt]

People are prepared to say anything to earn a few bucks. Didn't know RJJ is broke.

There's every chance he will lose at some point..

It could come in the trilogy if we could dig Deontay up and get it going.. it's boxing and anything can happen..

There's a few on here who rate him highly and why not if they are fans of him? It's part and parcel of it and they have every right to defend him like some do with, Manny, Floyd, GGG, Canelo etc...

There's also some, like myself who even though not fans, we can appreciate what the lads done and what he can achieve..

I think he will succumb to a loss at some point but I can bet my life on it that the Fury fans won't be screaming conspiracies....
