    Did Tyson/RJJ prove that Prime Tyson Would've Spinked HW Roy?

    I mean when you're not strong enough to tie up Tyson, it's a wrap.

    It would end in round 1 with devastating KO

    I'm a RJJ fan, but Tyson, Tua, Ibeabuchi, Rahman, Bowe, Lennox, Vitali, Holyfield, and lots of other heavyweights would've smashed him to pieces.

      We knew that already. Roy probably would have beaten the shell of Tyson in 2003 but had he fought the 80’s version he’d have literally no chance, no Light Heavyweight could have beaten a peak Tyson. Just too much of a physical mismatch. Case and point Michael Spinks...

        No, it wasn't a real fight, open sparring tells you more, it might not have looked too different, but when 2 slow, old fighters who can only throw so many shots, aren't even trying to hurt each other, there's nothing left from a real fight.

          RJJ was never a HW. Tyson is one of the best to do it at HW.

            What is spinked?

            And remember, Tyson was knocked out by Danny Williams at the time Roy was a heavyweight

            Roy would have stood a very good chance to beat him

              But Tyson did hit and hurt William's,a massive guy who had a good chin at heavy.Roys chins wouldnt have saved him against Mike and hes power would'nt have stopped Mike. William's and Lewis hit shot after shot.Both could punch,at heavyweight.

                  Yeah Roy was 35 at that point and he weighed in at 193 lbs. against Ruiz. Tyson would have outweighed him by 20 lbs. at least and Tyson destroyed smaller heavyweights.
