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.
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.
