(That's why light-heavies get in line to get to fight him).
Tyson in his prime was an awesome force. He bobbed and weaved... he threw punches in bunches (and with murderous intentions). A fight between the two would've been a matter of survival for Jones Jr., where Roy would've survived the first round only if the ring were large enough to allow him to run all over it. Once Tyson caught him with a punch ANYWHERE on the face or body, that would've been it.
Is there ANY other possible scenario?!?
