Roy Jones was boxing up until a few years ago, and has been training other fighters since then, all he has ever known is boxing. Mike Tyson has been in movies, had tv shows, owns his own business, a lot of other things going on with him. Also, its true that speed leaves before power(so that would favor Tyson) but the more technical boxer ages better, look at Bernard Hopkins and how he had success in older age. Smart money is on Roy Jones.

This? This is what makes someone a degenerate to gamble on?

Dude, people put hundreds of thousands on the gatorade color at the Super Bowl. This is a boxing match between two all time greats. This is nothing

Yes, there are more degenerate bets made. Never said it was the most degenerate thing to gamble on.

Size and reach really fricking matter in combat/fighting sports.

Going to be really hard. If they were of equal size, Nate would put him down, but Jake, unfortunately, is a decent fighter and much bigger.

I’ve heard Paul is a legit athlete, but I can’t believe anywhere to the level of Nate Robinson. Can Jake Paul dunk? Nate Robinson was a NBA dunk contest winner, yes size/reach matters, but not when there is this much of an athletic difference. Someone that can reach the level of NFL or NBA is a different animal.

It would take a lot more than that to offend me. Good day to you good sir. If you want to make money bet Jones.

RJJ was never a technical boxer. Mike was.

Tyson is entertaining as all hell, but the older he gets, the more overrated he becomes. I've legit seen people call him the GOAT boxer and it boggles my mind. If this fight goes past round 3, Roy Jones wins easy.

I think it comes down to who can take a punch better in their 50s

Jones is 51, Tyson 54, and Jones has taken punches recently, Tyson hasn’t in many years.

If both in prime, and pre Robin Givens, Tyson kills him.

Givens and her mom brain fricked Mike, and started the destruction of him.

Boxers were scared of Mike Tyson, they took dives rather than take those fricking bombs he threw.

People who really know their boxing never have mike at the top or really close to it. The Tyson worship comes from casual boxing fans from what I have seen.
