  • 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.

        • 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.

          • Agree

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

            • 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.

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

                • Agreed.

                      Tyson would have beaten Ali in his prime, but Tyson's prime was really short.

                      • 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.

                        • 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.

                          • Yeah, Tyson’s addiction and mental issues derailed him. No doubt.
