Prime Mike Tyson? Would he be Undisputed Heavyweight champion in this era

[MaceTheAce]

Incorrect MSA!!! I was thinking about this today on the bus. Tyson would **** him up so bad. The Beast is so clumsy and slow, Tyson would be on him like a fly on **** and put his ogre face right to the back of his ****ing skull.
THE END.


You know what, get Tyson out of retirement and get him in the ring NOW!.

Agreed lol

This question kind of sucks because Tyson fought bums in his era, which wasn't his fought because there weren't many good boxers during his era. Same thing happened with the klitschko's. No one in the heavy weight division is on the klitscko's level in this era. And I think lennox lewis and the klitscko's would jab tyson to death and then ko him even in his prime maybe in a later round. You guys under estimate lennox lewis and the klitschko's.

-Tyson was poorly prepared and by most accounts on a drinking/sex binge leading up to the Douglas fight. Douglas was inspired and fought the fight of his life. Tyson has only himself to blame for not taking the fight seriouisly, but there's no way you can argue that James beat him at his best. Please.

-Vitali most certainly wasn't beating Lewis because of his modest height advantage. Of course size matters to an extent but there are many, many, many, many more variables to consider. What a narrow and highly inaccurate way to analyze a fight.

-I do think Tyson would have a hard time with Vitali and Wlad. Vitali is uber durable, fight's tall, smart, and hits with knockout power in both hands. Wlad is also big, smart, and strong with the jab; though slightly more vunerable. I don't think he could risk brawling with Mike like Vitali could. Than again, Mike might be too quick for either of them.

Again, I think prime Lewis could hang with Mike and avoid getting knocked out if he fought tight, smart and "tall." Much like Wlad, I think he would probably spend most of the fight on the defense. Wlad is a stronger jabber and more dynamic offensively, so he might stand a better chance of hurting Mike though.

yeah, Tyson would overwhelm poor Valuev.

The thing about young Mike Tyson is you couldn't come in to the fight with the mindset if i just get past the 1st 3 rounds Mike will tire out because Mike in his prime had great stamina and could sustain his aggression for longer stretches.

Tyson destroys any of todays chumps...opps,I meant champs.

The Klits he chops in half,and knocks them out...the one with the glass jaw,please....

[EliteSoldier]

Valuev has no talent, he is a ****ty boxer. Was he ever an amatuer? Because I hardly doubt it because he looks slow and dumb

Lennox Lewis would ass **** tyson even in tyson's prime. Wow, look at tysons speed and power. That he can't use because lewis is keeping tyson away with a jab. And neither lewis nor Vitali are weak. They are big guys and probably hit harder then anyone tyson has ever fought.

Valuev vs. Mike or Wlad vs. Mike where guys have like a 12 inch height advantage would still lose to Mike cuz really alot of credit should be due to Kevin Rooney, Rooney could find ways for Mike to score punches on them.

[duffgun]

imo he would beat them all today. he would beat wlad as i cant imagine wlad holding up to tyson's pressure. the main reason i think tyson would win is wlad would be completely psyched out by tyson before the fight i think he would crumble mentally like bruno in the 2nd fight.

Still on sedatives still Douglas down for 13 seconds.

lol! by that logic you can say lewis never lost. The ref should have left Lewis continue after he got up from the McCall knockdown and let him fight after getting knocked out by Rahman. It doesn't matter what you think, the ref's call is final and that is it. I accepted those losses, why can't you? Get over it!
