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

    For example... Lennox lewis, The klitchkos, valuev, jameel mcline.

    He would do fine for a while. But i think the heavys of today are better than in mikes day. He would not dominate as much i think

      in his prime he would destroy everyone from now, only i see Klitschko giving him some problems but once he hits him its over, who else?? Toney, yeah right, Peter, yeah right, theres no one from now that could beat a prime tyson, maybe a few years ago when lennox was still around it would have been interesting, but as of now he would be undisputed champ

        He would have knocked them out so cold, he would have been discussed by the G8 summit as a solution to climate change.

            vitali would have spanked tyson. wlad probably would have got caught at some point but he'd have had a good punchers chance himself

              One thing about a young Tyson was his excellent head movement. He rarely got hit closing the distance, and was a good counter-puncher. Once he fired Rooney, he was just going for the early KO, he quit using his boxing ability and relied on fear and strength only.

              Look at his fights up to, and including Spinks, and then watch his post-Spinks fights. It's a huge difference.

                  no doubt that he would be dominant but... I think the only people that would give him trouble would be.... The Klitschko brothers

                    i cant see many of the heavys today giving a prime tyson much trouble. maybe if vitali was fit he might give a bit of trouble, but he has never been in with a guy as good as tyson even lewis was unfit during there fight.
