Jones Jr. - Tyson

[CFH]

I don't know about the outcome. I think Roy had a tough time fighting Tarver because of him having to lose so much weight after taking the belt from Ruiz. Roy was straight up muscle at heavyweight and I could only imagine the toll it must've taken on him to drop the weight.

If Roy had stayed around that weight he would've been more comfortable. Add that with Tyson not being so stable upstairs, I think Roy would've had a better chance that some people would give him.

IMO it would be like any other Tyson fight against a big name. He can be outboxed but if he catches them, it would be all over.

I agree that it might have been a different proposition if Jones had never gone down to fight Tarver, but the Tyson fight (apparently) was to occur after the first Tarver fight, so Jones would have already dropped the weight and then regained it prior to the Tyson fight.

Jones reflexes were deteriorating at that point and I think Tyson would've been able to catch him with something that would have stopped the fight.

If Jones had never moved down to fight Tarver and lost all that he had then i'd have picked him over Tyson at that point in Tysons career

With that type of fluctuation in weight, Jones may have been sluggish and taken out within 3.
