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

[K-Nan]

Why do people keep talking about Douglas? Tyson was so far gone from his technical style, a that point. You could actually see his style going to **** when he fought Bruno. He stopped the head movement, threw only wild punches, and disposed of the jab completely. We don't even have to mention his mind state and his training habits

There's no way that a prime Tyson who still used the skills that Cus taught him would lose to today's top fighters.

So when exactly was Tyson's prime? after 1 loss a fighters prime is over? it seems like the Tyson fan's keep shortening Tyson's prime.

you mean "right now, right now"??? "Iron" Mike Tyson would walk right through EVERYBODY. And yes, that includes the Klitschko bros.

Like I said.....the "IRON" Mike, from Catskill N.Y.

Wlads chin seems a bit glassy, so all you Mike Tyson fans can say he can beat Wlad. But theres no way in hell a prime Mike Tyson is beating Lewis or Vitali.

You're a ******. The only noticeable wins on Mikes record is against a fat looking larry holmes and spinks. And turn me red ******, wow like it does anything to my posting abilities moron.

And those fights you probably havnt seen. You're a delusional prick that is annoying to almost everyone on here. Your opinions are complete ****. I bet you've never seen 10 prime fights of Tyson.

the only person in this era that i dont see tyson beating is Vitali Klitchko. Vitali has a concrete chin, and alot of boxing skill. he would have his way with Mike. Wladimer has boxing skill but he has a weak chin and if Lamon Brewster, corrie saners, and Ross Purity can reach his chin, i know tyson could.

What he's saying is that Tyson was slumping before the Douglas fight which is true, as evident by the Bruno fight and others. He didn't go from peak to prime overnight after the Douglas fight, he was already slipping. The Douglas fight is just the icing on the cake as he was completely ill prepared against a very game fighter who for one shining moment motivated himself to a level of greatness he never reached before or since. Tyson got motivated again, and rebounded somewhat against Razor Ruddock and even Holyfield to a degree but he was never the same fighter he was when he initially won the title; too many lost years, bad habits, lack of focus, and growing mental problems.
