How would a young Mike Tyson fair against the real big heavyweights of today.

[Franko]

see non stop boxing..sorry

Big Frank Bruno would KO most, if not all, of todays heavyweights... Tyson would have absolutely no problem whatsoever! It would be ridiculously easy.
There may be one or two coming through though that could make a difference in the division.

- -Lotsa fan boy worship going.

Guys with size, skills, and strength like Fury and AJ would be 50-50 much like the Tony Tucker fight.

In 2007 we had a developing Wlad and later Vitali comeback after a 4 yr retirement.

We saw Ike and Tua in the mix as well for a short time and plenty more. Big guys can be beat, but having to run a gauntlet of them on the way up is a new, nay daunting Herculean task.

Im talking Mike with his HOF team intact.

Hed beat almost all but the likes or fury and aj may be too much for him. Razor ruddock gave him trouble and tucker. Id pick the top two over him. Tyson would ko wilder tho.

Imagine the Deontay Wilder we all saw in his last fight vs Fury hit by a (Mike) Tyson sledgehammer.

Mark Breland would still be there looking for lost pieces.

The likes of Wilder , Whyte , Povetkin , Ruiz jr etc would be lucky to last the 1st round

AJ would maybe last 3

Fury would cause him all sorts of trouble because of his size ,reach and elusiveness

Anthony Joshua is the only big solid super heavyweight active today 'At top level'.

Tyson Fury is really 250 pounds, when he decides to be solid 'This 270 pound Fury is no genetic marvel'.

In terms of technique and skill, can Mike Tyson hit all of these guys? Yes.


The question is 'How are they all going to deal with that type of issue?'.

I will still maintain the opinion, that Tyson Fury has a clumsy kid living inside of him 'Fury can be hit, and usually by his opponents best punch'

Wilder was able to land his best punch, and he only really has 1 weapon in his arsenal 'Tyson has multiple weapons in his offensive arsenal'.

I tell you one thing? If the late 80's, early 90's or even mid-90's Mike Tyson was transported from the past 'Into the future, present day'. I highly doubt these heavyweights would be piping up much and mocking him 'Heavyweights these days seem like high-school students, with all the name calling and mocking via social media'.

Mike Tyson has the ability to spark all these guys out, he would be a different kind of challenge for them.

Wilder hits A LOT harder than Buster DOuglas, AKA "Precious".

Mitch Green went the distance with prime Tyson, so did plenty of other hacks I wouldn't pick to last the distance against Ortiz, let alone Tyson.

IMO, Tyson vs. Ortiz is a great fight.

Fluffy might not have the physical make-up to handle Tyson. Tyson isn't just bigger because he was roided out, and muscled up, he was also naturally bigger than Burrit Boy. But I am not sure that Fluffy gets rolled by Tyson; and if he doesn't, if he survives the early storm, he might take over the fight as Tyson fades. Honestly, it wouldn't be a bad bet. In an alternate universe where this fight could happen, I suspect Fluffy is made a massive underdog, undeservedly.

Getting back to your point about Wilder: Tyson liked to smother opponents. He liked to make them miss, he liked to confuse them with his angles. And when he had you hurt he went for the kill. Wonderful stuff. But he plied his trade against much smaller, less physically imposing men than Wilder. Plenty of fighters caught him flush. Plenty of fighters, when looking to survive, went the distance. The idea that Tyson pulls off what Fury did in the rematch isn't completely out-landish, but it's ridiculously optimistic. I suspect Tyson DOES succeed early, but Wilder eventually catches him and turns the tide.

I agree, with a sledge hammer AND a battle axe, Tyson could beat Wilder. I would also pick Tyson to beat Wilder if he were allowed to bring his pet Tiger into the ring.

But in a real fight, without weapons or exotic pets, Wilder makes it look easy. If Tyson thought Frank Bruno hit hard, he'll sh'it himself when he meets Wilder.

SO mitch green lasts the distance, but guys who flush turds bigger than Tyson are lucky to win ONE round!!?!?!?!?

Wilder actually lays dudes out. He doesn't need 5 million punches to do it. Look what Wilder did to Breazeale, then watch Tyson's fights with Bruno, or the Holmes fight. Seriously, son, I expect better.

Hahahahahahahaha!


It is clearly time to start breeding (and culling) humans.
