Rumor is Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr will fight an exhibition match. Tyson has been training and wants to get back in the game even at 54 and I would be all up into that.

September 12, 8 rounds, its amazing how people think his (Tyson) work outs would transfer to a real fight. Yes he looks very good punching a bag, and would knock out any mortal in 10 seconds, but if a pro (Jones) makes him miss for I would say 2 rounds Iron Mike could embarrass himself. Speed is the first thing you lose as a boxer. Still, worth watching.Comment

Well, Jones is/was retired, too. Albeit not for nearly as long. And most of Jones’ last 10 fights were complete tomato cans.
Tyson has better power, but Jones is a better boxer. It will be interesting."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Agree
FTR Mike is my favorite heavyweight, (though Ali would have beat him in their prime(s) )Comment

Tyson In his prime would have a chance against any heavyweight. His viciousness and power were outstanding. The way he would duck under the jab and pound the ribs/liver was brutal."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

His combo of speed and power will probably never be matched.Comment

In addition to being a freak athlete, Tyson was a furious student of the sport. With the right guidance, he would have dominated for another 10 years.Last edited by Hannibal; July 24, 2020, 09:26 AM.Comment

I just hope the both of them have a series of cardiac tests performed by reputable cardiology specialists to make sure they're up to going 8 rounds of boxing at their age.
Having just endured a series of tests myself, I can attest its best to know when something may be lurking. The last thing I'd want to see is either of these men have a cardiac event on live television."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, ..

Yeah, Tyson’s addiction and mental issues derailed him. No doubt."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment
