Could a PRIME Chris Byrd outbox a prime tyson?

[number6]

I think its easy to judge Tyson from his more recent performances, rather than when he was a wrecking machine back in the late 80's.

Tyson had great movement and very fast hands in his prime not to mention his power.

He would figure Byrd out before the half way point and put him to sleep.

Simple Question, so the Chris Byrd that beat David Tua and Evander Holyfield, could he out box and beat Mike Tyson?

I'd say 5 out of 10 times he could.I mean it's hard to say but Byrd has a great chin too....he has been whacked by some big,big boys including both Klits and Ike Ibeauchi......Hell I bet he'd have Mike cheating his ass off trying to hit him by the 5th round.

I just can't imagine Byrd staying away from Tyson's big shots all night long. He beat Tua, but Tua just never had the fundamentals to do his power justice. Lets not forget something here though, in a fight like this you don't only need physical attributes, you need to be mentally tough. Ike Ibeabuchi, although troubled in his personal life, showed great mental toughness in the ring. I can't see Byrd surviving, but if Tyson was to get frustrated for the first few rounds he could blow the fight. Unlikely though IMO.

One pop from Tyson can change alot of things around,just ask Tyrell Biggs. The first 2 minutes of the first round Biggs was out boxing Tyson and even talking **** to him!! They about 43 seconds in that round Tyson hit him with a bodyshot and all that movement like Ali disappeared and it went down hill from there with a torturing 6 rounds more.

This would've been a great match-up but Tyson will murder Byrd in 4 rounds. Byrd's chin couldn't hold up to a Tyson hook.

Ike was waaaaaaaaaay better, more skilled, and tougher than Tyson. thats not even a comparison. thats why Tyson ducked Ike. if Ike did not go to jail, he would have been dominate for a long time.

Whatever you're drinking,I want some.
