    I think the only heavyweights right now Tyson would have a problem with is Wlad and Vatali. Both are good,accurate power jabbers. Just look at Tyson-Thomas. Tyson won practically only the 1st and 6th round. The 6th being a knock out. Pinklon was keeping him at bay with his jab and winning with it. It confused Tyson and he couldnt figure it out.But of course Tyson could still win. I say its 60-40 in Tysons favor.The Klits arnt all that fast on there feet.And Tyson came in with explosive fury when he came in.

      Well the boxing historians are wrong and your right, ****ing dweeb.
      **** off, there was nothing wrong with that count, why would a referee want to prevent an undefeated star from winning by knockout against a journeyman?

        Oh and would Tyson be an undisputed champ in this era? No


        His victorious march will stop right with Brewster or Peter.


        Both will be able to hang on to him and tire him out.


        You guys forget that Tyson was a midgit compared to the guys of today and was rathe physically weak, he could not do anything in clinch and would usually let the opponent dictate the clinching.

          What an absurd statement? Every boxer of every division could be the best ever if they were only judged on their best wins. I mean, when the hell did Tyson's prime end? One match before the Douglas fight?

          Tyson just held on for the decision if he couldn't knock his opponent out in the first couple of rounds. I think he would have had trouble with someone like Nikolay Valuev, because he sure is **** isn't knocking him out. I think Valuev could have KO'd him.

            This is a PRIME TYSON we're talking about. Come back to me when you have a fight video of Tyson getting tired in his prime.I'll gladly shut the **** up.

              Of course it does, did you see VK vs Lewis? they both have similar
              jab, straight right styles, why did VK dominate before the cut and stoppage? Because he was like 1 or 2 inches taller dummy.

                How many late knockouts does Tyson have again? And against who?


                I think it is pretty much a given that Tyson did not like the later rounds(given his style and all) Or are you saying that Tyson was not in his prime against Douglas?

                C'mon, he was what, 25?

                  You ****ing tool, cant wait for you to get slated over this comment, he was winning the fight because he had a 1 inch longer each right?
                  ****ing ******, get on a site about the magic roundabout.

                    Or how about Kelly Pavlik looking like he had the reach advantage against Miranda even though he had the shorter arms? Height does matter a lot, because it is easier to punch down than punch up, the punches usually get there faster etc.
