Comments Thread For: Oscar De La Hoya Backs Mike Tyson To Defeat Roy Jones Jr.

Roy has a good chance if he can survive the first three rounds. After that it's all him. I can't see Tyson sustaining an offense longer than three rounds, if that.

The first 3 rounds will be insane, don’t think Tyson will die wondering....

You guys need to remember that Tyson was never a 1 or 2 round fighter. That's what the public made him out to be. He got used to knocking guys out in 1 or 2 rounds. That was his problems but look at a lot of Tyson's fight. They averaged about 5-6 rounds.
When he was at the end of his career, he was abusing drugs admittingly, and wasn't training right. I don't think he is abusing drugs anymore. he may be smoking a little chronic here and there but I highly doubt that he is abusing drugs. I give Tyson a good 6-7 rounds. At a minimum 5 rounds. He won't be steady punching for 5 rounds because of his age but fighting in flurries. Who wins, I think Tyson wins in the long run.

The whole set of bollocks is just ludicrous ....Tyson was old and getting hammered by nobodies 15 years ago .....and people want this on PPV ....very sad.
I spoke with Roy after the Calzaghe weigh in 12 years ago and he looked old and shop worn then.Never mind the fight being stopped after the bell, this is more of the event should be stopped to stop boxing suffering further embarrassment....ridiculous. I ,like these two should, will be in bed sound asleep when this side show takes place!

shut up punk.

roy is gonna ko that heartless bum
