What modern & past heavyweight Boxer would be able to beat an prime Mike Tyson ?

I think holyfield has the right style for it. a good inside fighter with an iron chin and some fouling to throw tyson off his game plan. lennox was skilled and had power but like others i worry about his chin. wlad and AJ dont have the chin. vitali and fury could give him problems. i think holyfield is the best style match up. foreman well early foreman didnt have the defense, and old foreman was slow but had the chin. his power would always give him a puncher chance i guess.

the keys to beating prime mike would be long arms short torso long legs jab, smaller target for those body shots & long steps to get out of the way Funny enough I think Fury would be hard work for Mike, provided he didn't get caught in the first couple of rounds

Too many to mention, that's 200+ lbs Mike would lay waste to those sloppy AF back in the day MFers, doe.

The Klitzchco bros I doubt it especially Wldamir. If Wldamir could get KO’d by Brewster imagine what Tyson would do to him. Vitali is close but if Lewis could cut him badly imagine what Tyson would do. Lewis would get KO’d in the early rounds against a prime Tyson. I think Bowe would whoop Tyson. Yup, thats your opinion. Were all entitled to one.

In their PRIME. Both Klitzchco’s. Lewis of course. He proved that. Holmes and Bowe and of course Holyfield who was just a beast. A giant slayer. The Klitzchco bros I doubt it especially Wldamir.

Lots. Lewis, foreman, the k’s too. Evander obviously. Tyson has a punchers chance against anyone but his best win is probably Holmes or spinks. Other than that his wins are fairly thin. He lost twice to evander, never fought Bowe. In fact I think he was very very carefully matched after he came out of prison. Lewis chin was average he only defeated Mike because he was out of his prime. Imagine if Tyson fought him while he was in his prime Lewis would be sleeping in the canvas.

I'd give Ali, Liston, Foreman, Frazier, & Dempsey a chance. Jeez I forgot about Ali!:(:pat:

Deontay Wilder could pose a real threat with his knockout power. Trying to picture how this goes down... Thing is, Wilder has fast feet and reach... There is an argument that he might get there first.

Mike Tyson in his prime looked nearly impossible to beat. Mike was extremely athletic with extremely fast hands fast reflexes alot of punching power and quick on his feet and he also was highly skilled he demonstrated great hand placement and good footwork and good head movement.I can't think of more than 4 modern and past heavyweight boxers who would defeat the 1987-1990 Mike Tyson. Who do yall think would be capable to beat a prime Mike Tyson ? Prime Iron Mike slaughters all the past heavies, the only guys that beat him legitimately (not by skill but size) are the modern Super Heavies, the big boys that weigh 250+ lbs and are over 6ft5in in height, ex Lewis, K Bros etc...

This new version of AJ confident chilled tense relaxed focused trained serene well if the wheels came off the bus id like to see him throw mikes belts out of the ring :lol1::lol1: wise a s s!!!

Most of your comments, while thoughtful, are not talking about a "prime" Tyson. Many boxing people feel that as good as Holly was, a prime Tyson would have beat him. I do not see any scenario where either Klit brother could beat Mike, but we can agree to disagree on that one. Pressed to the wall? i would give Vitalie a better chance than his huggie brother. Sanders caught Vlad and changed his life, making him have to adapt measures... can one imagine if Tyson caught him? Prime Tyson? Sanders also buckled Vitalie (watch the first round closely), again, if Tyson caught him? I agree about his record being thin and that he was carefully matched after prison, but this was not his prime.

Tyson’s speed and aggression would be a nightmare for most, but if someone could survive the early rounds, they’d have a chance.

we will never know

Liston. Liston never cut the ring down. He prefered, like Pacman, to come in fast off the main fighting line. He was incredibly adept at judging distance, and did not let a fighter off the hook when hurt. Tyson has fast feet and great head movement, but I believe Liston would catch him coming in with his pole ax of a jab. There are others Mike would lose to, but Liston to me, is the most obvious front runner. I mean Lewis could catch him, but Lewis could also be caught...
