    current hw champions vs heavyweight champions of 86-87

    everybody says that the heavyweight division sucks nowdays,personally I don't think that's true.I was wonderring,who would win if current champs would have fought the champions who mike tyson fought to unify,trevor berbick,james "bonecrusher" smith and tony tucker.so,who would win these fights and why?

    for the WBC heavyweight title
    trevor berbick vs samuel peter

    for the WBA heavyweight title
    james "bonecrusher" smith vs ruslan chagaev

    for the IBF heavyweight title
    tony tucker vs wladimir klitschko

      Today's titleholders woould whip their asses. Tucker was a quality fighter at his best and would have a chance against Wlad, but I wouldn't bet on him.

        so if klitschko unifies all the belts should he be ranked higher than mike tyson in all time lists based on quality of opposition?

          i think if Tyson were now he would still dominate the way he did then, man i wish someone like that would come around again.

            It wasn't so much Tyson's opposition, which wasn't that great, it was the way in which he destroyed most of them.

              People need to come to terms with Tyson being a once in a generation type fighter. Man I hope I am proven wrong.

                I was going to ask that also.if mike tyson would be 20 years old contender in 2008,could he do the same mike tyson version 86 did?beat sam peter,beat ruslan chagaev,beat top ranked contender like povetkin and then beat wlad klitschko?and why,or why not?
