Roy jones jr vs Mike Tyson

[generalbulldog]

Ali was not bigger than Liston, Liston was about 10 pounds heavier in both of their fights. Liston had all of the physical advantages over Ali except for height. Unless your definition of being bigger means taller then we can say Paul Williams and Tommy Hearns was "bigger" than Mike Tyson because they were both taller than him.

JUst going back to the RJJ v Tyson question ..... assuming we are talking about them both being in their prime:

If it is a pound for pound scenario (and Jones would not have been so quick if he was bigger, whereas Tyson would not have been so powerful if he was smaller) I would say it's a pick-em fight.

Prime Tyson v Prime Jones in the same ring would have resulted in Tyson overwhelming Jones and blasting him out early, I'm afraid.

But we can say the 22 year old Ali had not fully filled out his frame and that is not the case for Hearns/Williams in comparison to Tyson.

Hearns did fill out to light heavyweight though. And I'm thinking Williams may be able to fill out to 168 or so.
