    You can't really say a p4p match though as both fighters were great at using their natural gifts i.e. Tyson used his brute strength and speed for a big guy well, whereas Jones used his freak athleticism.

    If they had fought after the Ruiz fight then Jones may have had a chance,but a prime Tyson would have got to him eventually in his prime I have no doubt.

    Being a fantasy match up; Roy tko in 8.

    If the two were magically the same weight somewhere in the middle of where they both naturally fought and both prime I would go with Roy because he was supreme in his confidence in his ability to counter and bend in the wind and never get caught cold full force or comming forwards by anyone.
    Tyson got his own way alot and used intimidation backed with brute strength and single mindedness to suit his tight wicked style. Roy would not have been fased by any of it pre fight or on the night. Roy would have frustrated Mike (and thats the key).
    He'd be already moving and throwing a counter as Mike started any solid move; catching him then creating other angles so Mike would eventually make even more mistakes going for broke and get caught continually and the fight would be stopped for his own good.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    Well I remember after Griffin II there was a lot of talk of Roy (IMO in his prime) taking on Buster Douglas. This is when his Dad got back in contact with Roy because he was fearing for his sons safety and no-one knows Roy as well as Snr and obviously he thought that Heavies were too big for him.

    Well whatever happened when they fought, I believe Tyson was better than Douglas.

    If they could as you say magically become the same size then yes Roy would win, For me in his prime Roy was p4p not just the best fighter in the world but the hardest puncher and the fastest in hand and reflex's. But to be honest and this may be me being something of a Roy fanboy if everyone could be made the same size magically Roy would beat anyone in history with "perhaps" the exception of SRR but if I were to put money on that I would go for Roy!
