How would the 1986-88 version of Mike Tyson do with Today's Heavyweight champions/contenders?

My predictions:

Tyson vs W.Klitschko - Tyson by TKO 8th Round
Tyson vs Ibragimov - Tyson by KO 6th Round
Tyson vs Chagaev - Tyson by UD
Tyson vs Peter - Tyson by TKO 11th Round
Tyson vs Thompson - Tyson by TKO 9th Round
Tyson vs Brock - Tyson by KO 6th Round
Tyson vs Valev - Tyson by UD
Tyson vs Povetkin - Tyson by UD
Tyson vs Virchris - Tyson by UD

Your predictions? I'm talking about the Prime version of Tyson the one who was knocking out everyone left, right, centre. the one who knocked out spinks and stopped holmes.

Tyson by KO round 1 , to all fighters above.

Vitali Klitschko would beat the **** out of Prime Tyson

He beats them all, no doubt - And since we're talking PRIME Tyson, the beastly unstoppable Tyson - He'd beat them all by TKO/KO. Period

so does Antonio Margarito

**Floydko1** · 12-31-2007, 09:10 AM

so this topic more or less means "Tyson would beat any current top heavyweight" that is rather a easy judgement

Prime Vitali Klitschko 6,7 250 lbs would beatdown 5'11 215 lbs Prime Tyson

This is a bad style matchup for Prime Tyson...The Klitschko's have a huge size and reach advantage.

He has a point, I think Vitali would have a higher chance of beating Tyson than anyone on that list, Wlad has a good chance of jabbing Tyson to a UD and maybe even KOing him, but if Tyson would catch him... While Vitali has a great chin and he's very big and strong I don't know if Tyson could take his punches the whole fight.

Any of them who could last the first 3-4 rounds could beat him....

Judging by the fact you have NO early KO's in your predictions.. which is when the BULK of Tyson's KO's happened.. I would have to say ALL of them...
But of course That would be silly...

But Tyson faded after that initial onslaught..

For example.. Against Wlad.. I would predict.. Either a Tyson KO Rounds 1-3..

Or a Wlad KO rounds 6-9...

Vitali was'nt in the list

and you are forgetting Tyson had a good defense.
