Roy Jones Jr....WBA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP...

[MattTheSkywalker]

Jones would embarrass Tyson. Tyson is not and has never been a "fighter" in the sense that Jones is...Tyson has fared poorly in longer fights, and Jones would wear him out.

Does Jones have the power to knock out better heavyweights?

Lewis is so much bigger than Jones (size is overrated, reach is not, if you know what you;re doing, and Lewis does), that I dont think Jones could compete with him. Pound for pound though, Jones is the best.

Get fucking real here man. Jones embarrass Tyson? LOL. Tyson is too aggressive and much too powerful for Jones. Jones may be the best pound for pound at the moment, there I will agree with you, but he wouldn't be able to take punches from a power hitter like Tyson.

If you are talking about Tyson 1990, I might agree with you.

Tyson has been a "has been" for so long he can't be taken seriously as a fighter anymore.

Ruiz was totally outclassed.

lb for lb no one can even compare to Jones. Amazing damn fighter.

This is so true, even though it sucks. Tyson was the most exciting fighter when he was in his prime.

I saw a breakdown of one of Jones' early fights. He hit the guy and he was going down knocked out. Jones hit him 4 more times before he hit the ground. I have never seen speed like that.

As far as Lewis, him and Jones would be awesome.

Ruiz/Tyson would be a good match these days and look what Jones did to him.

Jones is going to be an interesting fighter to watch... and he is going to add some excitement (long needed) to the heavyweight world.

He's outmatched by size going into almost any fight in the heavyweight ring - and he is going to have to make up for it with skill. That's what great boxing is about.

If Jones fairs well - he is going to be a legend.

 

[CanadianCripple]

WOW! I'm shocked (pleasently). Dammit, I thought about getting the fight, but figured Ruiz would lean on Jones for most of the fight before finally catching him with a good shot.

Did Roy say anything after the fight about continuing as a heavyweight? I can't see him handling Lewis or the Klitschko brothers, but Tyson, Johnson or Tua might be interesting. Maybe even Evander.

The key word there is TAKE...Tyson would likely not be able to land a clean shot on Roy,he is that slick,fast and elusive.I could see Tyson getting frustrated enough to relapse back to his ear-nibbling,elbow throwing tactics in a fight like this.
