    If Mike Tyson came up during the 60's vs the 80's what would have been his legacy?

    Move up his professional debut from 1985 to 1965.

    He would have been a damn beast. He would have been a bigger more powerful and faster and better Joe Fraizer

        He loses to Muhammad Ali instead of Buster Douglas.

            Frazier had better footwork, better inside fighting and was a better ring general. Tyson more of a physical freak (not to say he was a bad boxer, just comparing him to Frazier)

            Tyson could beat Frazier, but he couldn’t do what Frazier did vs Ali imo.

            Tyson would be great in any era, but I doubt he would always be as unbeatable as he looked in the late 80s. If we are putting him in the mid/late 60s then he always plays second fiddle to prime Ali at least.

                  I'd rather be Rock than Austin
