Let's say Mike Tyson does not go to prison. How great would his legacy be?

Those two weren't trying to win though. Tucker moved away for 12 after breaking his hand early, and Smith just grappled and muffled Tyson. The latter is actually an argument for Big George who is actually bigger, stronger and a more skilled grappler than Smith. Smith had no issues controlling the physically weak Tyson that way, didn't take one good hit the entire 12 rounds and was unscathed. Tyson the bully landed his best punch after the end of a round when they were staring at eachother because he got so frustrated.

Foreman will be landing brutal uppercuts and hooks the entire time he's man handling Tyson, who will put himself in harms way the entire duration of the fight because he only knows how to go forward. He will be off balance at mid range with George sticking his long heavy left jab in his face, and the moment he tries to attack with offense George will grab his shoulders/arms to put him off balance, taking away Tyson's entire momentum. Tyson lands nothing or gets blocked, and takes uppercuts and hooks inside the lion's den. 1.5 rounds max before it's over.

The most elderly, fattest version of George destroys the absolute best version of Tyson that ever stepped into the ring 10 out of 10 times. Never been more confident in a fantasy matchup personally.

And even with a broken hand that Tucker fight was close.

Don't say that on Youtube, his fanboys believe he would KO prime Ali in one.

Yeah, truth is, though, his nuthuggers aren't anywhere near as loud and obnoxious as they used to be. His haters are a lot more active now. I've said for a few years now that the Tyson fan-bois overrated him so badly for so long that there was a backlash and now he's criminally underrated

He would have stopped the 90s Foreman

- - U never close to anything but Nothing.

Tucker had nothing but size and a jab after breaking his power right hand a couple days before they fought.

Right, and the one right uppercut he landed had Tyson crip walking. He couldn't land anything else with that fist after shattering it.

Tyson could have been one of the greatest but he threw his career away by going to prison. I don't know if he would make my top ten.

Not in mine. Top 12-15 at best.
