    All I am saying just because Ike beat a prime Tua doesn’t mean he would beat a prime Tyson was faster smarter and arguably more powerful. .

      Coin toss. Whoever lands a good shot first probably takes it. It'd be a great fight, though. Both were raving ****ing psychos.

I mean Chris Byrd ain't no chump but his certainly no Tyson…Ike was legit…no disrespect to his game but Tyson at 20??? Come on…no question …the question can be asked (insert name here) vs Tyson at 20 who would win??? The answer would always be the same….Tyson for sure…
        He meant at 20-0, not necessarily when Tyson or Ike at age 20. But was Tyson 20-0 at the age of 20?

            Ibeabuchi was one tough mofo, he had a hard head and a solid workrate, but the Tua fight is a bit hard to use as a reference point because Tua really hasn't got much head movement at all, and so it's a little different when fighting Iron Mike who is coming at you bobbing and weaving, throwing looping punches as well as stiff jabs and uppercuts, not to mention bodywork. But it'd be a difficult fight for Tyson to win, purely because Ibeabuchi doesn't go away and he fights very hard. I think Ike could hurt Mike, I think Mike could hurt Ike too but ultimately I think Mike is gonna throw more punches and make Ike miss, and missing punches takes a lot out of you, especially when coupled with the fatigue of getting punched constantly by Mike Tyson in his peak, a phenom.

              Mike in his prime would have won a UD against Ike imo he would be just to fast for Ike, I think the post prison Tyson, Ike would have a very good chance of beating.

                    This would be a very interesting fight. At this time Tyson was an exceptional talent, and was training very hard under the guidence of Kevin Rooney. He would IMO be able to go the full distance much eaier and at a better pace than the post 1990 tyson. Althought Tua and Tyson are similar tyson was faster and more dangerous with both hands. At this time tyson moved his head alot and stayed low so it would be a much harder target for Ike.
                    As for chin yes tua had a better chin (not many heavies have a better chin that him) but tyson only gets KOd when he his being hit constantly. At this time tyson was a very elusive fighter and so it would be hard for me to see him being hit as oftern as the holyfield, Lewis, Douglas fights. So Ikes large amount of punches could act against him with a weaving tyson and help find more openings.
                    Mentality is always an issue with tyson, but with familiar and friendly faces in his corner (Rooney, Lott, Baranski) it could be possible that they hold tyson together. He may get frustrated but would stick to the game plan.

                    I would have to to with a Tyson UD or possibly Late KO.
