Always been a boxing fan. I've had some stints that I haven't watched, mostly because of pay per view in my opinion ruined it. Recently I've been watching boxing every Tuesday and Thursday nights on ESPN. There have been some pretty good fights. I know everyone likes the heavyweights but I always liked the lower weight classes. I always was a fan of Roy Jones but thinking back to when he fought Vinnie Pazienza I'm not sure about him fighting Tyson. Vinnie roughed up Roy a couple of times even though he won. What do You guys think of the Tyson/Jones fight?

What do You guys think of the Tyson/Jones fight? Wow, is this actually happening? Big Tyson fan, big Roy Jones jr fan too. Used to watch them live in their glory years. Both were shadows of their best when I last saw them fight, we could never expect anything like those kind of performances, and yes Tyson looks good in these short training clips... But the gym is not the ring. For a time there waa talk of Jones fighting Tyaon many years back. I am very interested in this, past prime or not. I would bet on Tyson but would not count Jones out at all. |

Stuke from what I've read September 12th. I would like to see this fight even though they are past their prime. I would like to know what weight they are going to fight. It's supposed to be an exhibition fight. But I think all it's going to take is one thing to make Mike upset and he's going to unload. fanbuzz.com/boxing/mike-tyson-vs-roy-jones-jr/ |

I get frustrated watching MMA because of how bad they are at boxing!

Anyway, if they try and make a serious fight out it I don't think Tyson can get up to the required level of fitness again, and with his reflexes diminished I think Hopkins would be able to keep him away.

I watch MMA also but only if it's free,  . I just like fighting. I agree with Deuce. You do have to have skills for MMA. |
