Roy was a thing of beauty until Tarver. But I believe Jones would have beaten Tyson who was pretty much a hooking machine and looking for the 1 shot ko and lost his desire to fight. Jones by DQ win.

He gassed mid way and gave up against guys tying him up and leaning on him that weighed 250+ lbs
Roy Jones weighed in just UNDER 200 for Ruiz.
EVERY version of Tyson was extremely strong and extremely dangerous and extremely powerful and had solid chin.
There is no master plan, no matter what or how hard he tried, that Roy could have survived Tyson despite him being among the best boxers of all time.
He just could never match the overwhelming might of Mike.
And Mike was never slow enough to be hit and run by any opponent ever!
Sorry but this is a joke match up.
The whole idea of Roy fighting Lennox Lewis was nothing less than an outrageous joke as well.
The only thing more ridiculous was Lewis's comments in an interview "This is my weight class, if he wants to fight in the HW division, tell him to come and see me, Lennox Lewis, I'll take the "S" off his chest".
That was REAL tough of Lennox.
6'5", 250lbs, 41-2-1, 38-2-1 at the time he made that statement (-2 cruisers he knocked out and -Vitali whom he hadn't fought)
against Roy Jones. Who had a single bout at HW against possibly the weakest champ since Leon Spinks. and who subsequently was wasted by light HW Tarver, who stood 6' shorter and weighed 50lbs less.
Unbelievable!

"Enough with the games mate! Your messing with the Grand Master!"
Lennox Lewis
A motivated Tyson knocks him out. The coked up Tyson loses by disqualification because Roy would pot shot him and hold him behind the neck when he got close until Tyson snapped.
