Jones to Fight Tyson in Kenya this Fall
M Dogg™:
I look at it like this. Roy is a great boxer, his place in history will go up there with Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Joe Luis. Greatness doesn't lose. Tyson will be there with great boxing villians, great punchers the the great boxers beat like Tommy Hearn, Sonny Listen, a young George Foreman and Jack Dempsey. Great punchers, but are bound to get beat. Lennox is a great boxer, but isn't great unless his sharing the spotlight. His a bigger version of Joe Frazier, or Larry Holmes. Vitali is a good fighter looking for a shot, that one fight to make him great, like all great when they are young, though Vitali is 31 already... lol. In the end, I see either Vitali or Roy Jones coming out as the champ. Vitali is going to be Lennox, and Roy will beat Tyson, because Tyson doesn't want it anymore. Then Vitali and Roy will fight, and that will be great.

All great boxers lose. And if Jones fights Tyson the way he fought Ruiz, then Tyson will KO Jones, on question about that. Jones wouldn't stand a chance against Lewis or Vitali because they're 6'5 to 6'7 230lbs to 250lbs. And if Lewis hits Jones the way he hit Vitali when he cut his eye then Jones is done. And if Vitali hits Jones with some of those shots that he was giving Lewis, then Jones is done.
Jones maybe a great fighter (he can't be put in the same class as Ali, or Louis) but when he's barely 6'0 and 200lbs, he stands no chance against Tyson, and defintyl has no chance against Lewis or Vitali.
Lewis will beat Vitali in the rematch.

Jones is a great fight in the same class as Ali and Louis, his proven it. Middleweight, Light Heavyweight, he did it all. Made Bernie Hopkins look like another chump. Had many other fighter afraid to see him. You think any fighter really wanted to have him move down in weight class to see them. Oscar De La Hoya, Hopkins, Tito, all of them didn't want to see him. So he moved to heavyweight. He will be know as one of the greatest pound for pound fighters with the Sugar Rays and Roberto Duran and Tommy Hearns.
Now as for why he would win. First off Tyson is done, and he was never that big in size. Now Tyson in 1988 would be a first round knockout, but Tyson isn't as fast as he used to be, his not as hungry. Tyson has issues that he needs to handle, but he can't because he needs to box to make money to pay off all the money Don King ripped of from him. Tyson is done as a fighter, his 37,38 and would retire if he could. Roy will fustrate Tyson, and Tyson will not hit Jones well, as Jones knows what his fighting. You act like Jones is going to let Tyson hit him. Please, would you. Vitali will beat Lewis because Lewis thinks he won the last fight, and wouldn't be any better prepared. This time I don't think Vitali will get hit like he did before. He'll knock out Lewis. If it wasn't for the cut, Lewis would have been knockout. Then we have Vitali vs. Roy, and Roy will treat Vitali like John Ruiz, because they move with the same grace in the ring *sarcasim* only Vitali hits a lot harder. Jones wouldn't get hit though. He wouldn't take a fight unless he knows he can win. I think Jones will win. He might lose to Lewis if that ever happens, but my money is on Roy winning that one too. That would be his tuffest fight, and Lewis is starting to look like his ready to leave boxing.

Those are real quotes. Jones is going to Kenya to promote his fight in Kenya on November. It didn't say it was signed it said it was betwwen either Lewis or Tyson, but since Lewis is fighting Klitschko in the fall, it will be Tyson who will most likely face Jones in November. If you read the article you would see that the fight isn't signed but Jones will be fighting in Kenya on November 8.
Read before you make a stupid calm of a fake rumour.
To see where this article came from go to www.tsn.ca/boxing
Guess what I just checked ESPN's boxing site, and do you know what? The rumour there too. So don't say it's not on ESPN's website without checking it 1st. http://espn.go.com/boxing/index.html
