Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr - Sept 12

Hopefully he gets a Hannibal lecter mask to wear though.

Roy Jones Jr is an American-born Russian citizen? Does he speak Russkie?

Very possible... Tyson overtake Ali?? Bets are on!! (Piss on the NFL, NBA, baseball etc)

No shit?? LOL! Time to have FUN again!!

Tyson's certainly turned fight ready since his 'The Hangover' days.

Cocaine, booze and 100 extra pounds.

Ali is the best no question. I’d compare Tyson to a young Foreman. Ali knocked him out and ruined his career for 20 years until he made a comeback and put his name on the grill. Larry Holmes in his prime was also probably better than a Tyson. Tyson is too short and doesn’t have the reach to compete with guys 6’4” plus. He mostly dominated weak inferior opponents.

Is it ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, C-SPANN 1 or 2., AT&T, cable?...How do we watch it?

Geezer Boxing.
Who knew it would be a thing?

Tyson was a tough hoodrat who made it out and then blew it. Once allegedly Tyson punched a brick out of a wall.

He is no Muhammed Ali.

I think the word is Crazy!!

Mike tyson in his day was probably the greatest ever. That being said, he is really old. I got roy jones in this one.

Love both those dudes. Can't wait.

51yo vs 53yo +/-

Yep let’s not watch anything entertaining and focus on the important things.

These geezers going to show this lazy snowflake generation what its like to be men

^ This ^

It will be interesting to see if they limit it to just an exhibition of skills ... and NOT become a true battle of EGOs.

Tyson is speed and power with lots of combinations.

Roy Jones, Jr is/was pure/deadly handspeed and throws punches from all angles at all times. A true pressure-boxer like Hagler was.

If Jones can avoid Tyson's high-speed combinations early, he can outpoint Tyson over 8 rounds.

Fitness will be key for both.

Roy just has to use (oblique-) angles and tons of lateral movement to defeat Mike.

As far as chins go, Tyson has a definite advantage there, imho.

Styles make fights, as they say.

Don't forget Jones won the WBA Heavyweight title in 2003.

They are in great shape for being grandpa's. Should be an interesting fight.....I'm looking forward to it.

If you're any kind of fan of boxing you know this is huge. Come on now...

Tyson is a physical phreak of nature...RJJ is singing his own death C agreeing to this "fight".

Personally, I am waiting for the Leon Spinks vs Gerry Cooney match. It will be almost as exciting as the MLB games on tv the last 2 nights.

Rod Serling................... enter ..... stage left.

bread and circuses.

lets all go to the colisseum for some games

Pitiful!

Did you watch the video? I'd like to see if you would call him a grandpa to his face. Roy Jones Jr as well. Watch the video and you'll see Tyson still has it. I don't care what age he is. That was scary.

Are you crazy?? Tyson would destroy Larry Holmes. I don't know what world you're from but you must not have watched the devastation Tyson caused to every one of his opponents. Ali in his prime? I would pay a lot of money to see that one. But Larry Holmes?? Dude you're smokin' something. You need to refresh yourself on Mike Tyson.

And comparing him to a young foreman is not even close either. Tyson was way more quick than George. Both in their primes would be a good fight, by Tyson would take him out. Too short?? LOL my good dude you need a re-education on Mike Tyson. Best fighter ever. Only Ali is close.

And what's this with weak opponents too? OMG I just can't...you need to open your eyes. I pity the fool!

I'm waiting for the Larry Holmes-Randall 'Tex' Cobb rematch.

Their first fight allegedly sent Howard Cosell into retirement in disgust.

How about Leonard-Hearns IV?

De la Hoya vs Pacquiao rematch?

Toney vs Jones rematch?

Foreman vs Holyfield III?

You’re stupid. Who did Tyson beat? He beat Larry Holmes when he was old and he hung around for awhile. You must be in your 30’s or early 40’s and don’t know boxing. Buster Douglas beat Tyson in his prime and he was nowhere close to Holmes.
