What if Mike Tyson.....?

If Andy Ruiz could clip Anthony Joshua I don't see why Mike couldn't.

He would still have that puncher's chance plus better stalking footwork and head movement than Andy.

It's a slim possibility but it's not impossible.

Being the youngest AND oldest heavyweight champion ever would for sure increase his historical standing.

Do you think it would push him past Ali and Louis? It wouldn't for me personally, but an argument could be made for top 5.

Naw, he wouldn't be ahead of Louis or Ali. Not unless he miraculously went on a good run and beat both Joshua and Fury and maybe made a few more title defenses beyond that.

But he would move up the list no question.

He was finished last time he fought around 15 years ago when he was beaten by a man who would be top 50 at best if still fighting now. Tyson could still score some KO's against lowly opposition, but I don't see anything else. Would still like to see him back in the ring for some kind of fight though. Today's HW division on the whole is the best in my lifetime (since 1990 watching) A guy look Fury at the top, many other top guys, a load of very good upcoming prospects, and a lot of quality B level fighters as well. Much stronger than the overrated 90's.
