Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: Me & Mike Tyson, In Our Primes, Would Probably Beat Fury, Joshua

[LoadedWraps]

Roy Jones Jr. feels confident that he and and Mike Tyson, in the primes of their respective careers, would probably have beaten Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. Jones, 51-years-old, held world titles in four weight divisions.

So was Mike, but with a less positive connotation. It was a perfect combination of complacent and unmotivated Mike thinking he was going for a stroll in the park and super motivated Buster giving his best. Its one of those wins where, while credit is rightfully due to Buster, but the reason he actually won was because Mike let him. In a rematch it would 100% be a different story - it would Rahman - Lewis II all over.

Imho, Buster is the greatest fluke ever. Performed well. Wasn't a lucky punch. Mike was pretty much Mike only he wasn't up against someone who was scared.

I don't think, on that night, anyone was going to beat Buster.

Buster > Andy, Rahman, McCall, Sanders, Brewster, Bennt, Puritty......

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who feels the Wlad Fury fought was anywhere near prime is too much of a Fury fan and can't be trusted.

Who said anything about prime? He was still a dominant champion at the time he met Fury, undefeated for a decade. Fury was a huge underdog and came out of that fight making Wlad look obsolete. Not easy to do considering AJ could barely handle the man years later. Wlad sure as hell wasn't washed up when he fought Fury. You just can't give the man his due respect. Always gonna make excuses for his dominance. Which makes you the one who can't be trusted because you are simply a hater.

He was going through the motions and fighting the bottom of the barrel types. He was not dominant. He was fighting bums.

Again, Fury vs Wlad was like watching grass grow. It was a crappy performance by both guys, only the younger guy should have fought more aggressively.

So much missing........If you saw it differently (EI, all out action and have watched it multiple times), well..........

This HW era leaves me no room to give out complements.

The only one that deserves compliments is Fury, outclassed Wlad at his own game, Destroyed Wilder again ending a long reign with complete ease, held every belt in the division. No other HW can make that claim. Again you are not gonna give him his due respect because you hate the man. That's cool, I mean what does your opinion matter. I state the facts, you make excuses.

He wasn't washed up even though he was past his prime (how many boxers do you know are in their prime at the age of 38-39?), but I think he had an off night. Not the first time it happened to Wlad. I don't take credit away from Fury - he performed cautiously, but well otherwise, maybe he got into Wlad's head, I don't know, but if they re-matched I wouldn't assume that Fury would have beaten him again.

Jones would have a very difficult time against any top 10 heavyweight now let alone those two . Maybe a Pulev he can slide by but even then I wouldn’t bet on it now and that’s the most favorable match up for him style wise .


Roy doesn’t have to attach Mikes name here , Mike could defeat anyone in boxing history on any given night ,Roy is bigging himself up way over the mount here . He’s not and never was in Tyson level of such a menace in the ring .

When you flip a coin, it's going to be either heads or tails. Won't be a damned thing epic about how that coin is tossed. When I was watching Fury vs Shot Wlad, I found myself flipping coins and having a blast.

All things come to come to an end and Fury caught Wlad with 1 1/2 feet out the door.

Fact is, your boy is clumsy AF but gets a pass for his size. Fury fans mocked Wilder twerking but forgot all about Fury lip locking shorty and then carrying that lil MFer like a bride.

Yeah, I'm the one who's the fan boy.
