    Have you seen the pics of Tyson with Vitali, he is far from 5'10 and 5'9 at the most. Vitali towered over him amazingly. That said Tyson ****s this crop of fighters outside of a select few.

      Vitali and Wlad are both capable of beating him.

        Both Klitschkos as well as Peter could beat him.

            Peter huh? Bold statement their...

            I think a young head bobbing, intimidating tyson beats peter. Peter had a tuff time with an "old" james toney who I think tyson would have devoured Toney like how i used to devour a sausage and onion pizza on a sunday after smoking some buddha.

              Mike allways had problems with those big guys! I see him only beating Wlad by lucky punch! Vitali and Lewis would win by clouse UD!

                Problem is, Lewis has been gone for nearly half a decade now, and Vitali probably aint what he used to be. Wich leaves a few fighters left that could have beaten a prime Tyson. Peter for one, has the style going for him and he has the ability to do what any other heavyweight today can do, wich is stopping Tyson. But everything Peter does, Tyson does better so that one would be closer than most people think. Wlad would give him a lot of trouble but i think he wouldn't be able to handle the pressure, neither would his chin hold up imo.
                Who else is left today? This devision is a complete joke.

                  Tyson smokes all their boots. Lewis is a different matter though. Didn't Tyson say that he could never have beaten Lewis after their get together in Memphis? Size, strength, power and an abundance of skill wrapped in a tidy bundle would be too much for Mike.

                    Are you talking about Tyson?

                    So cory sanders can knock out Wlad but a prime tyson can't?

                    Im gonna try and keep my distance from this thread, its sad when people forget greatness,

                    Undisiputed champ at 19,

                    Lost his prime years in jail,

                    If you cant beat Lamon Brewster, you cant beat Tyson.

                    No one beats a focused tyson when he was 19 and undeafeated, buster douglas got knocked down and the ref slow counted im told, so im not too hot on that upset, plus the fact tyson began to have problems and was bitched out of a rematch.

                    Yes Tyson KO'S lewis when he was at his best, Mc Call did, so would tyson, tyson was faster, more powerful, and also very skilled,

                    tyson= A classic case of too much, too young.

                      he would kill all the heavyweights except for wlad i dont think he would finish wlad the same ways as the other heavies right now wlad might give tyson a run to the finish.but the rest is no contest(not including lennox lewis)
