Who would win in their prime?
Jones has height, reach and speed.
Tyson has power and head movement.
Now RJJ was considered pound-for-pound the best boxer on the planet in
his prime, thats the boxer I am comparing.
I say Tyson knows him around, but loses UD.
This thread is to funny!
Any version of Mike Tyson would of knocked Jones out inside of 3 rounds i think, he was too powerful for a start and Jones doesnt like fighters pressuring him Tyson would of been the boss in the ring and bullied him about. I wouldnt have liked to see this fight anyway, seeing your 2 favourite boxers go at against eachother cant be too nice to watch.
LMAO!! That fucking tickled me......well done
no offense stupid thread ...... jones is the same height and started at middleweight tyson was 215 punds when he was 15 years old he is to to strong even a prime roy vs any tyson would lose amean i love roy but thas jus factt
Jones Jr would get his a** put in a fuking coma,Quote:

his heaviest fight (ruiz) was still only at 193.
Many people thnk that prime TYSON beats ANY heavyweight of all time!
So agains RJJ with one HW win?? pretty easy to figure a winner there.
BUT.... today I think RJJ beats Tyson!
If RJJ can slip for 1 or 2 rounds max, He would win by UD
I do like looking at RJJ's record and seeing beside a win a list of the belts they were fighting for! it looks like this!
~ WBC Light Heavyweight Title ~
~ IBF Light Heavyweight Title ~
~ WBA Light Heavyweight Title ~
~ IBO Light Heavyweight Title ~
~ WBF Light Heavyweight Title ~
~ IBA Light Heavyweight Title ~
~ NBA Light Heavyweight Title ~
THATS what undisputed title means!
Tyson now is TOTALLY done but RJJ can still get some gas in the tank.
When Roy was at heavyweight he could have outboxed Tyson....it's not inconcievible that RJJ would win a decision.
Tyson would have the obvious power advantage but honestly the fighter who threw one punch at a time vs Williams, McBride, and even Lewis he wouldn't be able to catch Roy at heavyweight....no way in hell
There is a problem with ALL the replies here.
The people are saying a Heavyweight Champion RJJ or beat Ruiz cannot beat
Mike Tyson. Doesn't the pound-4-pound title mean anything then?
Sounds like RJJ is a paper champ, pick and choose then quickly leave before
a real fight can be made.
Far as I am concerned, RJJ woulcn't last a fight or 2 in the Heavyweight div.
Esp. witht a top Heavyweight crown.
I have lost my interest in the pound-4-pound title. What happens in the ring
shall be the proper test as far as I am concern.
If boxing was lke the old days where there was ONE champ per division, would
RJJ have won won so many championships? NO! Cause creating more championships gives rise to less competition.
Boxing should go back to 1 champ per div so people don't get the wrong idea.
Outside of Heavy weight he still would of gotten the belt in every division he boxed in.Quote:

(That's why light-heavies get in line to get to fight him).
Tyson in his prime was an awesome force. He bobbed and weaved... he threw punches in bunches (and with murderous intentions). A fight between the two would've been a matter of survival for Jones Jr., where Roy would've survived the first round only if the ring were large enough to allow him to run all over it. Once Tyson caught him with a punch ANYWHERE on the face or body, that would've been it.
Is there ANY other possible scenario?!?

Hmm...
If Roy fought Tyson after he beat Ruiz he probably would have won.
But Prime for Prime..I see it being a very tough fight, decision win for Tyson. Tyson prime was about 220 and Roy wouldn't have been THAT much smaller.. I see a competitive fight but ultimately a decision for Tyson possibly.
I find it amazing how so many people say Tyson was overrated and one dimensional and etc etc saying this and that about him but they'd say in his prime he'd beat Roy Jones Jr ;)
This is so ridiculous, let me explain roy had incredible skills... but he was koed both times albeit past his prime... by 1 punch by light hitters.... your chin is the last thing to go next to power roy has such great reflexes that he avoided punches in his prime. against mike he is gonna get hit to the body agaiinst ropes and to the head look what the guy from he fought from prison from rorway did to roy he forced him into the ropes at middle and roy contered. Tyson is going to force him and roy aint gonna come out hes gonna get knocked out he gets koe 1-2 rounds id be suprised if it went 1 no way he could keep a prime mike off for a second, tyson had great hand speed and defense., simply to big too powerfull roy is not a heavy. Also your comment about no one outside of heavy beats roy... I have to disagree Id have to say evander holyfield as a cruizer would beat him also... he had slightly slower hands possibly but ha dpower at that wieght and fought like a machine at cruizer... I love roy jones he has some of the insanest skills ever but.... he is a middle who juiced... his frame is too small and quite honestly holyfield or tyson in their respective prime are bigger men and better fighters than roy has ever dreamed to face....
