if he faced the big names like bowe, holyfield, big george and morrison or even ray mercer, would he have had trouble with these guys? Would these be the fights that should of determined how good he was in his prime because i think he may of struggled with most of them (maybe not morrison.)

Holyfield idk he Prbly woulda have a rough time with him still but while Tyson was in prison he gained some experience he didn't have pre prison Tyson so who knows if Tyson's hurt him he might have had enough to put him Holyfields got a great chin but Tyson was a different beast pre prison.
Bowe would have a rough time with Tyson Tyson's shorter and much better suited to catch bowe coming in so bowe wouldn't have been as willing to head to the inside. Plus body shots woulda played a major role in that.
I've never seen much of mercer so idk.
And I think he'd beat formen as long as he doesn't walk into a huge shot.

Maybe. (No doubt he could have beaten Moorer...maybe on the sequence).Last edited by crold1; 01-13-2013, 05:18 PM.

Originally posted by likeamulekick View Posthmmmm good theory. With holyfield though, i think tyson would get less frustrated by the holding especially with rooney in his corner. Still gona be a tough fight but tyson was faster and holy was smaller so i think tyson edges it by points. Even an old foreman would be tysons biggest match, tyson has the speed to win this but i think he would get confused when he lunges in at foreman and instead of clinching forman just shoves him backwards and comes right at him, i think tyson would **** himself and wouldnt know what to but just go straight forward, which would be a BIG mistake
