Someone mentioned the fact that Jones would fight Tyson because he wants to make around 10 million?? Not true at all. Jones would make AT LEAST 20 million+. He made 10 million to fight John Ruiz for christs sakes. Someone also said he would only make a few hundred thousand per fight if not at heavyweight.....WRONG!! Jones has a contract with HBO that pays him 5 million (minnimum) per a fight. That's right, he made 5 million to beat Glenn Kelly and Clinton Woods. Due to the extra risk against Ruiz he made 10 million+.

As for the actual fight, you people are REALLY underestimating Tyson. Sure, he's past his prime but he still has some decent fighting skills. HIS CHIN IS GRANITE. Jones wouldn;t be able to hurt Tyson very much, if at all. Secondly, that piece of crap john Ruiz landed a few right hands on Jones. Tyson is quicker, hits harder and is all around better than Ruiz. I'd favor Tyson by early KO in this matchup. If Jones survives the first few rounds (5) he probably would win but that would be asking a lot.

I would love some Tyson +180 action. A hungry Tyson besides gnawing on an ear or two would be able to destroy Jones over the course of the fight.

PS - I am an unabashed RJJ fan. The Grande in Gulfport put me and my buddy up to see him fight Johnson a few years back. Got to meet him, Jordan and Holyfield all the same night. RJJ and Jordan started a clothing line don't know if it's even still going but I have one of the first shirts from it. I love RJJ and what he can do but my thought is Mike's too much if he is motivated to fight. I'd root for Jones though if I didn't have a bet otherwise.
