What chance does Roy Jones have against Mike Tyson ?

Wear Michael Johnson track shoes, not Michael Jordan sliders

Still don't believe this is a real fight. Hope I'm wrong, but I'm not sure a 54 year old Mike has the cardio to do a real fight, for more than a round. Boxing isn't like other sports.

If Tyson can't catch him with a big punch in the first two rounds, it's Roy's fight. Longer it goes on, the better Jones' chances are, he is the fresher of the two. That's not saying much either.

Roy Jones should be able to win this one just due to the fact that he has not abused his body the way Tyson has. He should also be a lot more sharper.

Tyson is naturally a bigger guy in weight but not in height so it' not like Roy is boxing a giant like Lennox Lewis.

Again the key word is should.

Tyson stops him in the early to late rounds.

I agree with this prediction !

Off topic what happened to Oscar's comeback. He said it would be happening by now but nothing. I bet he never tries to come back. He has been taking comeback every year since Pacquiao knocked him into retirement but he never does it. He is smart to stay retired because he can't beat good fighters anymore.

I think Roy Jones wins pretty easily.

Tyson was shot to bits over 15 years ago and getting whooped by journeymen. That’s the facts, no matter how good a few clips on the pads look. Any old pro in decent shape looks good in that scenario

Jones was shot to bits at the end too but at least he’s been somewhat active.

I think Roy Jones wins pretty easily.

I agree with this. I hope Tyson wins, but Roy is better than Tyson. Tyson is bigger. Tyson was great, but Roy Jones was the best boxer in the world arguably during his prime. Roy Jones hasn't fought since 2018, Tyson hasn't fought since 2005. Tyson is bigger of course, but he isn't a giant obviously, and Jones has been fighting at 200 pounds. I obviously love Roy Jones, but I would like Tyson to win, but I think Roy Jones has more advantages. Jones can also punch. A Jones knockout is in no way out of the question, particularly because we don't know how fighting fit Tyson will be. Roy Jones went 10 rounds in his last fight. And while Roy Jones has fought some push overs, not all of his wins over recent years were against push overs.
