1996 Come Back Mike Tyson vs Klitschko's resumes. Can he go undefeated?

Skittlez

Not talking about the Prime Killer from the 80's. Talking about the mid 90's still good but no longer elite fighter who beat Bruno,Seldon,Mathias Jr, and fought Holyfield in a valiant losing effort.

How do you see that Mike doing against:

Chris Byrd
David Haye
Shot fat old Lennox Lewis
Sultan Ibramovic
Corrie Sanders
Wach
Chris Arreloa
Kevin Johnson
Kirk Johnson
Herbie Hide
Samuel Peter
Tony Thompson
Eddie Chambers
Ross Purrity
Lamont Brewster
etc

Simurgh

If he sorted out his head problems and stick to boxing he would have a very good chance to beat them all.

No guys in this list I would favor against him but statistically speaking you can always lose one or two on the way.

If he managed to beat all these guys + the guys he already beat his resume would be very good (better than Wlad's, Lennox's..)

Lewis KOs him.

He'd likely beat the rest; they'd be terrified.

A faded old Lennox already beat him and would beat him if they had met a few years before.

I think Haye might be able to take a decision if he could survive the early onslaught & pot-shotted but noway does he ever beat a prime or pretty close to prime Mike.

Post prison Mike beats the rest though and K.Os most/all.

He'd have a problem with Lewis, but beats the rest better than any of the Klitschkos could.

He would beat them all far more convincingly than Klit managed, from the Klit wins theres noone with both the height and the nimbleness (plus chin) to beat him because these guys were picked by Klitscho to specifically NOT have all these championship assets. I really dont think you'd get any of these dudes in the ring with tyson, they'd be too scared to fight someone with real power (except perhaps Byrd?)

Obviously he'd still get beat by older fat Lennox, who was still a cut above the rest of that pack, but it would be a closer fight than when they did meet.

Short answer; No. Mike's likability far exceeds his talent. I'd love to see him beat all those guys but think he fails on 3 or more.

Post prison Mike and the Klitschko's share a fair few opponents in common. Williams, Lewis, Botha, Norris & Francis.

Not much in it apart from Mike got clattered by Williams & Williams got beasted by Vittles.

He destroys them all bar Lewis. He'd incinerate both Klits too.

I doubt he would beat all of them. Mike was too unpredictable and you never knew which version of him was going to show up. Post prison Mike also lost heart when things went against him in a fight.

My answer would be that he could, but most likely wouldnt.
