Maybe you should crawl in the ring with them since they are so long past their prime? Should be easy, right?

I'll throw down a rack for you to crawl in the ring with either boxer for a 1 minute round since this is such a joke to you.

You would live out the rest of your days in a wheelchair and drooling all over yourself. But at least you would get a handicapped parking permit so it wouldn't be a total loss.

These are finely honed athletes that are fighting for pride, and ego.
If you think either one will not come out ready to do battle your don't know Boxers very well.

Rules be damned, Tyson is going for the KO.
Gotta agree here, either of these former champions would absolutely destroy 99.9% of normal folk. Tyson, 53. Scary. A good punch from that guy would still do serious damage.

No knockouts? Hmmmm. Sorrry but i think there will be a knockout.

I feel like with all the rules they put in, with the intent of making it NOT a bloodbath, will most likely result in a KO.

RJJ should of pushed for 3 min rounds. I feel his best option was to outlast Tyson. But 2 min rounds, Tyson should stay fresh.

Both get belts? hahah weak. I hope loser doesn't accept.

Wasnt a classic for sure but a draw I dont think so. Tyson looked pretty good still and landed a fair amount of good punches. Jones looked gassed after about the first round and just tried to avoid Tyson or clinched for the most part. Tyson still has it and for a guy in his mid fifties looked pretty sharp.

Here is the full fight. Glad I didn’t spring for it last night. I was a huge fan of both back when boxing was a great sport with a who’s who of killers but you can’t beat Father Time....

'Wish it wasn't an exhibition - you could tell Tyson was holding back a lot.

Even with all the dancing, Tyson could probably knock-out a Hereford Bull. Or lift the head off a normal guy.....Still has "ol' man power" ....
