    Yes, but 30 second KOs can be "flukes." Meehan's only true loss was that bout - he outpointed Brewster. John Ruiz was destroyed in about that amount of time vs. David Tua, but I like Ruiz if he fought Tyson.

    That being said, Tyson could KO 1 either guy (or Williams in a rematch) and I wouldn't be shocked. Tyson still has at least part of his power left and is dangerous - but as the fight progresses, I don't like his chances against any guy mentioned in this thread so far. Not yet anyway - I hope he comes back all the way.
    The Williams win over Meehan wasnt a fluke, he had too much, too early and was far too strong for him.

    I havent seen much of Meehan since that fight, has he improved? If he hasnt i'd say Tyson in round 1.

    I think Tyson made a mistake fighting Williams in a come back fight because Williams can punch, but Meehan shouldnt cause the same problems.

      Meehan made Lamon Brewster his personal punching bag, but then looked quite bad vs. Hasim Rahman.

        I get the feeling Meehans ok until a puncher puts pressure on him, i think he should pass on the Tyson fight!! Tyson may be old but Williams was coming off a bad injury against Meehan and still whipped him!!!

        I'd like to see Rahman against a top fighter again, he's got some talent.

          It would be a nice fight for both guys- it would give Tyson a somewhat knowen fighter right off the bat - and it would give Meehan another good payday
