    Mike Tyson claims he would’ve beaten Usyk and AJ in his prime

    He’s probably right because he sparked a slick Spinks that moved up from light heavyweight but Spinks wasn’t a Southpaw and I doubt he had Usyk’s footwork.

    But we also saw how he got destroyed by Holyfield who moved up from the cruiserweight division.

    I don’t rate Mike Tyson but I’d like to see what people think.

    He is right. A prime Mike Tyson under the tutelage of one Cus D'Amato was unbeatable. It wasn't until he hooked up with Don King that he lost his drive and will to succeed.

        You lot need to stop the Cus nonsense. Boxers change trainers all the time. It’s not like Cus was a HoF trainer that led countless HWs to greatness before Mike Tyson and Cus was already dead by the time Tyson started winning titles.

        Tyson was just an overrated fighter who couldn’t go past 5-6 rds. Once you take him to the later rds, he becomes useless. And he was very one dimensional.

        I believe he’d have bitten Usyk’s ear off as well after getting tagged all night with a straight left.

          Mike Tysons best win was over an old Larry Holmes who had 5 weeks to train and took the fight for a quick payday.

          Outside of that he lost to every top fighter he faced, he quit several times in fights, and couldn't handle any adversity.

          Could he beat them? Yes

          Could they beat him? Yes

          Tyson was a one trick pony, be intimidating, come out and go nuts, and if an opponent figured out how to get through that and hit him back he quit.

          Quit Tyson, and he's feeling himself now that he's back on the juice I see.

              Mike Tyson was a bum slayer, who's only good at entertaining casuals and putting on a good KO reel. He'll always be a hypejob that ducked me to fight some cans after he got with King.

                  Mike Tyson is badly overrated tbh.

                  Fury would definitely have beaten him and i could see Usyk and Joshua doing it as well.

                  Joshua is only 50/50 because he might've been intimidated by Mike, and guys were beaten before they got in the ring against him. The first guy who stood up to Mike knocked him out.

                    Actually he led 2 and I'm not talking about the Emanuael Steward way of leading by attaching himself to an established fighter, he molded Patterson and Tyson. And those are his hw champs. He took a 13 from the streets and made him champ in 7 years. As for Tyson not being able to go past 5-6 rounds, he won the WBA and IBF on 12 round decisions. Joshua is **** and I've told you guys this for the longest. The current hw division is ****. Usyk has skill, but the "holy trinity" of Fury, Wilder, and Joshua are not that good and I've always felt that way. They're just big.
