                                Didn’t Jones beat heavyweight Ruiz a few years ago? My money would be on Jones. Tyson without Cus D’Amato and that training team was a disaster. His boxing skills diminished by the month. Even his punching power got weak. Guys we’re walking through his punches.

                                      "Former NBA guard Nate Robinson and YouTube star Jake Paul make it official: They tell me they will be fighting Sept. 12 as an undercard to Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. in California."

                                        Tyson is 54. Jones is 51. Tyson spent half his life on drugs, especially coke and weed. Then he needed antidepressants just to cope. Jones has always took good care of his body. Jones is a natural fighter, excellent defensive skills, almost as quick as moneyMay and rarely gets hit. Tyson has a lot of foot flaws and is not a good defender. People bet on Tyson’s punching power but that’s been gone years ago.

                                        Neither of them should be fighting but money makes people do stupid things. Jones never really had a big payday. He was never a big PPV draw because he dominated the division. Tyson made ridiculous money but was stupid. I think he still owes the IRS.

                                            Yeah, when he went downhill, he went downhill quick. These guys forget why they retired in the first place.

                                                  Very true. Tyson did not rape that girl. She wanted $1 million to settle but Tyson said no out of principle, which was stupid. Pay the girl and chalk it up to lesson learned. Hell, he made $60m in just 3 fights that lasted about 3 minutes total. 3 years in jail versus a million? He really made a lot of bad decisions after Cus.

                                                    Roy could have porked up - Might not be such a big weight discrepancy.

                                                      Didn’t Jones beat heavyweight Ruiz a few years ago? My money would be on Jones. Tyson without Cus D’Amato and that training team was a disaster. His boxing skills diminished by the month. Even his punching power got weak. Guys we’re walking through his punches.
                                                      Agreed... for the most part. Cus died in 1985. Tyson was only 11-0 at the time and he still had Cus's trainer Kevin Rooney. After he fired Kevin Rooney in 1988... that was it. He wasn't the same after that.

                                                      Roy Jones is one of my favorite boxers of all time. Had he retired before the age of 35 I think he would be in the top 10 of just about anyone's pound for pound list. Roy was really a lot of fun to watch in the 90's... I don't think anyone could touch him at the time. Just as Mike was in the 80's.


                                                      2 undisputed legends here in my opinion... I don't know if this fight will be sad to watch or not... but it looks as if Tyson can still hit like a truck.
