Predictions:
“Tyson. I think if Tyson catch him, he gonna hurt him. But if Tyson can’t catch him, it’s gonna be a lousy fight.†– Evander Holyfield
“Tyson. I think Roy is going to get seriously hurt. He is a natural middleweight.†– Danny Williams
“Tyson. I think he has a chance but it’s a slim chance. Slimmer than Buster Douglas.†– James ‘Buster’ Douglas
“I don’t know what’s made Mike and Roy fight each other. I mean, they might be friends, I don’t know. But who’s going to win this fight? Roy Jones, in my opinion.†– Amir Khan
“I think Mike knocks Roy Jones out. But I did warn Mike that he has to be careful of Roy’s left to the body. That’s the punch Roy used to knock out Virgil Hill.” – Freddie Roach
“Tyson. I’ve studied them so much. I’ve watched so many films, so many fights with both of them. I think if Mike Tyson touches anybody, they’re going down no matter how old he is. I just don’t see him not touching Roy at some point in the fight.†– Tyron Woodley
“I’m going to have to go with Tyson. But it wouldn’t surprise me if Jones Jr. pulls something off – like he always has in his career.” – Oscar De La Hoya
