    Tyson vs. Jones

    Who’s going to watch? Predictions? Two absolute legends! I’m going with Iron Mike. That man would be right at home on some medieval battlefield smash skulls and dismembering his foes.

    I remember when we used to bet in 5 second blocks how long the Tyson fight would last... Worst Pay Per View minute-per-dollar ever. And I'm counting those 'TKOs' from the hotel 'unlabelled on your bill" movies.

    All you have to do is right before the fight, tell Tyson "He killed your favorite pigeon...".

    It's that simple.

    Tyson will bite her ears off and threaten to eat babies. I'll wait for the free high lights on youtube.


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    Have you seen the vids of Tyson's sparring workouts? Holy shit...That dude is savage. He's 54 and still legit terrifying.

    He's going to smash the shit out of Jones. Hell, I think he could smash the shit out of half these cocky MMA goons that are half his age.

    If it's not silly $, I will watch it.

    If both come in decent shape and both have the head to fight, could actually be interesting. Jones is easily one of the great fighters of all time, both by the numbers and watching his fights. Tyson, when he was on, a monster who could punch a hole through a person.

    Depends a lot on how much coordination, speed, and stamina Jones still has I guess.

    Tyson was severely limited in the ring as boxer though. He had his one big trick which was blinding hand speed, coupled with a short hook that could calve an iceberg. But just like how fighters figured out how to defeat Gracie’s jiujitsu, guys learned to frustrate Tyson and get him to throw a hissy in the ring.

    But as many of us get older, we gain emotional maturity. Who knows? Maybe Mike can keep his act together and think his way thru the problem.

    And God help Jones if he’s just a little slow on the uptake.

    Mike is a Class A POS who used to literally knock out old ladies for their SS money. The only bigger piece of crap is the crazy hair promoter who made him a star. Sure he punches like a mack truck, but lots of street gangsters have violent skills. Add to that he's a rapist and he should be fertilizer by now but people gotta fan boi.

    Even after all his grooming and PR people, he still showed what he was about in the Holyfield fight. What kind of mental adolescent tries to bight a mans ear off in what is supposed to be a professional sport?

    Never heard of Jones, not sure if he's up to this or not, but I will stand and cheer when the day comes that some junior thug in the making cripples old ass mike so he can have some understanding of what he used to regularly do to people all the time.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    I'm a former boxing junky and used to be a rabid Tyson and Jones, Jr. fan. I was at the Staples Center when Jones, Jr. won the heavyweight title when he beat John Ruiz. With that said, I've seen one too many so called "comeback" fights by old, long retired fighters trying to cash in on people's desire for nostalgia. I fully expect a sad display of eroded skills by Tyson since he's been inactive for way longer than Jones. I can't bring myself to pay to watch such an exhibition just to end my night feeling embarrassed for the fighters. I'll wait until the internet blows up the morning after with their armchair commentary then go seek highlights if something entertaining happened.

    Literally one of the all time great fighters both by the numbers and accomplishments, and like say Ali, numbers alone don't do Jones justice: He had the speed of a light weight that hit like a heavyweight and his athleticism and timing, second to none. What people, including myself, didn't like about him was he knew he was that good and was showboating A hole in the ring, but he really was that good. If Jones brings his A game, Tyson does not stand a chance. If Jones brings a B game, and Tyson explodes on Jones as he's so good at, Jones will be in deep doo doo. Worth a watch:
