Again, the idea is that Tyson hits RJJ and destroys him...

That's like saying the incredible Hulk would crush The Flash...While that's true, Flash is fast as FUCK, meaning he may not knock the Hulk out, but in boxing all he has to do is score...

I say RJJ, on teh stick and move principle...

I was going to say Tyson in his prime vs anyone, so if you'd like to take on that as opposed to RJJ, be my guest. I haven't followed boxing too closely, but I saw those Tyson fights, he was UNTOUCHABLE.....

Well, I wouldn't say that Tyson was a more punishing puncher than George Forman, who was also a young, seemingly invincible champion...Ali took those punches, and then KO'd him...So, nobody is untouchable, it is all about syles.. And RJJ was no pussy, he beat up Ruiz, a much bigger man, pretty bad, so, he might not knock dude out, but he'd give him more work than he was used to...

Roy was a phenom, but I think Mike in his prime was just too tenacious. Back in '88 and '89 he was well conditioned and he didn't get tired in the later rounds like he did at the end of his career. Plus, back then he threw combos and wasn't just a one punch head hunter like he became later. Last but not least, alot of people sleep on how fast Tyson's hands were. Forman hit like a truck too, but Mike was 3 times as fast. I think Roy's heart would make him put up a respectable effort, but I'd say Mike would get to him eventually.
