Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Admits: I Was Surprised Mike Tyson Could Go Eight Rounds

If they fought way back after Jones beat Ruiz, I think Tyson would've been too much for Jones. If you remember the first round against Ruiz, Jones was ever so briefly rocked by a punch.

A Tyson power punch would've put Roy down, although he would've been competitive for a while. Lennox Lewis would've blasted out Jones pretty swiftly, just too big, powerful, and skillful.

At middleweight and light heavyweight Jones was great. Nobody today can come close to the aura and greatness of Tyson and Jones and the other greats of the past.
