Still not getting enough in my opinion. It's sad to see that a man who spent 40+ yrs married to his wife, made his way to the top with no leg-up against all odds, never looking down on people to feed off his ego, retiring rich with all his functions, and overall just simply an amazing human being with values of integrity. He is basically the polar opposite of what the Mike Tysons and the Alis and the Leonards and many more... Love you champ.

Larry Holmes: “ I like Mike and I’m glad he’s doing something. But I don’t think I would be doing a fight with him.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Legend Larry Holmes. 7 years in a row world champion

Mike was made for heavyweight. Dude was 220 pound powerhouse at 19 years old. Just because he's short doesnt mean he's small. He's a tank. Larry was right, Mike was able to take big shots from big dudes and it took many shots from much bigger guy than Roy in order to stop Mike. Mike being 54 will not be much of an adventage for Roy cause Roy himself is 51.

Yeah and i think Roy has more miles on him because he has never really retired, and he's def been rocked way more times than Mike. I just don't see this ending well for Roy Jones. Mike is just naturally a much bigger, stronger man. I just hope Roy doesn't get hurt, he shouldn't be doing this fight PERIOD.

Love Larry Holmes. He played the game, made his money, invested wisely, does not miss the adrenaline rush and has no unresolved issues, save for a little bitterness, which comes with age.

Mike knocked him out with just a jab. As to Roy, I don't know but he's gotten his butt kicked a lot. He ain't no civilian, but if he's wise he'll get some quick pointers from Mayweather and try to win on points.

Spinks won, Jones won, Moorer won, Holyfield won. Everyone is watching the Tyson videos & thinking he's 20 again....how fast he looks, how fit he looks, how hard his punches look.....but the real facts of the matter is that mike is 54, he's a stoner & he looks in shape because of the PEDs he is taking.........the video sessions just show mike throwing the combos he has thrown in infinite repetition every time he is in the gym, they are muscle memory & obviously, not responsive, reactionary or targeted like they will need to be against a live, real opponent.

RIP-ROY JONES JR

People should watch the last fight of Holmes at 52. He outboxed butterbean just with his experience and his jabs, but he had no more balance, no more legs. I think it's really dangerous for both Tyson and Jones, excpet if they are REALLY well prepared, cause they're old. I'm not sure it's a vey good idea. Most of the boxers end their life with brain damage and dementia. It's sad but true, boxing is a tough game.

What the hell! I remember way back in the day , when an exhibition fight was REALLY an exhibition. You know, when the fighters wore head gear and big pillows for gloves. They weren't really in there trying to hurt one another. Now you got people building up this "fight" as if they were ranked professionals! Their time has pasted, they don't have to prove a damn thing to nobody. Yeah, I know it's suppose to be for charity. I hope one of them doesn't get hurt and they needs some "Charity" .

Roy is a technical fighter and Tyson is a brawler ... If they go the distance Roy has a chance, 1st 3 rounds are crucial for Roy. Tyson will live in his head rent free if he lands a hook or uppercut.. Maaaaannnn

I think Roy is going to come in around 210 to 212 lbs and I think Mike will come in around 220 lbs. so Mike will only be slightly heavier for this contest. But surely Mike is probably a fair bit stronger plus he fought his entire career around the 218 to 230 lb range so this is definitely his weight class.

What happened with ur jamar interviews? He was a real regular on the show and now he is not.

I agree with larry

Champions mike and roy👍💪

Mike took serious beatings before finally going down, I'm not talking about the end of his career though where he just laid down. Lennox Lewis took some rounds to finally put him away. Roy doesn't have that power at heavyweight, and we seen Roy get 1 hit and his chin shatter. If Mikes serious, Roy won't get out of the first round, first 2 rounds. Even a solid light heavyweight champion, one of the greats, Bob Foster who had a left hook that had serious power couldn't deal with Frazier/Ali at all. Only a few heavyweights can have a career like Foreman or Larry had, they're tough as nails and their skill never really went away, and in Foreman's case, he picked up something extra in his second career, patience and trying to set people up. In his first career he'd try and literally kill you lol.

Yae, it took Lennox 100+ clean punches to put him down, and its 2002 version of Mike. Lennox was 250 pound guy while Mcbride won by using his weight leaning on Mike every round. Roy doesnt have any adventage in this fight. He's only like 3 years younger , similar height, less heavier, no punching resistance.

As someone who's followed boxing since the 80's, let me tell you Larry Holmes is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Prime for prime he would of beaten the likes of Tyson, as his movement and jab was too good, that's how good Holmes was. Now lets talk about Tyson. In my opinion Mike Tyson is the best come forward boxer I have ever seen, technically even better than Joe Frazier and Sonny Liston. It's just a shame Tyson's mental strength was never as good as his ability, as he likely would of gone undefeated. The only boxer that could of stood a chance in beating Tyson in the 90's was Lennox Lewis. Prime for prime, lennox and Tyson would of been great. Unfortunately I can't forget the tears I shed when Tyson declined and lost to the likes of Williams and mcbride. He's certainly won't be nowhere near the boxer people remember. The problem for Roy is he's fast enough to beat Tyson, but Roy seems to have a bad habit of backing up and fighting on the ropes. He can't do that against Tyson, because even though Tyson is older, who will get tired quick, he's still a humongous puncher with supreme leverage in his punches.

@K Gehringer The 90's was one of the greatest heavyweight periods. It was Tyson's 80's that was in a boxing decline. In the 90's you had holyfield, bowe, mercer, Foreman, lewis, tyson, even moorer was a very good pumped up light heavyweight. In the 80's you had Holmes, Spinks and Tyson. Even then Holmes was in his upper 30's by the time Tyson got to him, and spinks was a great pumped up light heavyweight. Tyson saved the 80's heavyweight boxing as it was badly weak and not entertaining, that's why the middleweights of the 80's were taking the limelight.

The only way Roy will win is if he uses his speed correctly; He gotta move faster than his step. He gotta anticipate correctly. He gotta strike faster. He gotta move faster than Mike so if he gets hit, the impact won't be as much as it would be if he was standing still. He Gotta Find His Soft Spot.

The body shots alone will probably damage Roy. There is no way this is going to be an Exhibition fight. At least not in the traditional sense. Now that I think about it, Roy is definitely doing it for the money. He has got to know he is not winning this fight. He may be praying for a miracle and hoping it will be a draw. But, there is no way Roy is winning this fight. I really like Roy Jones but, Larry Holmes is right. Jones should not have taken this fight.

This man called it. If you watch the match carefully, Mike Tyson had *so* many chances to flat out break Roy. He held himself back so much.
