RJJ V Mike Tyson

[levi#1BoxingFan]

I was watching Tarver v Jones Jr 1 the other night and remembered his post fight interview where he said he would never fight in LHW again, wanted to go back up to HW and fight Tyson then retire.

Just wanting to know why this fight never took place and had it, who would've won at the time?

I just made this same thread no more than a month ago.

Take the hint buddy




Personally, i have given up on assuming the fighter with the punchers chance will do damage. But when you are putting a moderate yet sharp-punching LHW in with MIKE TYSON....

Don't matter who bad Tyson was, he ain't Valuev

Tyson around this time fought Cliff Etienne. He was in pretty good shape for that fight and still explosive. Tyson, as far as he slipped, was still one of, if not the quickest heavyweights around.
Jones just didnt have enough firepower to keep Tyson off of him, or size to muscle Tyson around to wear him out. Tyson at some point would connect on Jones probably sooner than later.

I think where ever Tyson would have hit Jones he would have hurt him. Roy liked to lay on the ropes and cover up while guys wore themselves out trying to hit him. He wouldn't have done that with Mike and tried to circle around in the middle of the ring. I think eventually Mike would have tapped him with something and even if it weren't clean it would have had an effect or pushed him out of a position he wanted to be in. With Roy's chin and Mike's power all it would have taken was 1 punch.
