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

Are you talking about Tyson?

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

.

I didn't say that; I said those guys COULD beat him, not that he couldn't beat them.

Actually no need for me to retract that statement, i simply asked you a question, i never said you said that. lol

Although i wouldnt give any of them a chance in hell against a peak tyson.

All I meant is that I'd give them a chance. Maybe I just resent being tricked as a kid into believing what The Fresh Prince rapped about, 'nobody can beat Mike Tyson'.

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.

my overrating tyson much?

I'm not to sure he would win a title i think and beat most of the champions but maybe wlad would hurt him severly if he hit him with a big right hand. Also he would proberly be to small tobe able to trade with the big guys even though he hits extremly hard but its just his size isn't there.

Tyson in his peak beat bums. Thats an amazing accomplishment.

Yeah, its true, he didnt beat no one, Just all the champions one by one till a 19 year old kid had every meaningful title in the division.

[Underboss]

when you say bigger, you mean about 6'6 and above right? coz tyson is only 5'11 and in almost all of his fights, he was the smaller man. the average opponent was 6'3-6'5 some are 6'6.

corrected*

[Technical_Skill]

He beat champion bums. Amazing!!! Are you saying his division was fille dwith strong champions at that time?

Yeah, that Michael Spinks was such a bad ass champion wasn't he.

They were as strong as the garbage that dominates now,

****in Maskaev, Cory friggin Sanders, Lamon Brewster,

These guy were all champs, two them Knocked Klitschko the **** out,

They dont even belong in the same ring as tyson.

You think Maskaev is better than the old Larry Holmes tyson beat? lol.

Thats my opnion, live with it.

Yes, people have forgotten how great he was at 19, when he was beating the **** out of grown men twice his size.

tyson had way more speed than the heavy's of today has, even toney. also, he had amazing head movement and timed his puches in flurries well. he was a one punch knockout artist but could also flurry. he was fast as hell and had awesome leverage in his punches. tyson imo would kill every heavyweight today in his prime. tyson had a great chin, and had amazing defense. of course his power was just untouchable, and his stamina was great too, so he did have the total package. tyson's speed and defense alone would get him the ko victory imo.
