Even if you're not buying into the weight drain arguments, you'd actually think Jones would be dumb enough to lay on the ropes for the 1st 3 rounds against one of the most devastating punchers the heavweight division has ever seen, if its been proven that he could move circle, jab and hold till Tyson gave up.

All of sudden Tyson decides to rededicate himself to training after half @ssing it ever since he got out of prison? No matter who the trainer is. The last leg of his career - minus the media circus was a farewell tour of brian nielsens, buster mathis juniors, black rhinos, bothas, mcbrides, seldons etc? I was a huge tyson fan myself and diluded myself into thinking he would be back to form for each fight. The truth is he was mess mentally and no trainer was about to or could change that.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Jones rehyrdrating and gaining back his nutrition may have suffered twice effects of the weight fluctuation, but since we're omitting that when talking about tarver and johnson's fights against Roy, I suppose it doesn't count here either. Jones physically at his best beats a Tyson mentally at his worst, in my book .
