Prime Mike Tyson vs Anthony Joshua

[baroidi]

repeat of Joshua-Ruiz jr I, but a lot quicker with Tyson's aggressive bob and weave style, it won't make it past the 1st round another highlight for Iron Mike.

This probably would look like Tyson vs Spinks

including the ringwalks, with Joshua looking petrified in fear before even stepping in the ring

I think the 80's Mike Tyson, and Tyson throughout the entire 90's beats any version of Anthony Joshua.

Joshua is not stopping Tyson in his tracks with a single punch, and crucially? Joshua's jab is not good enough 'If you want to fight Mike Tyson like the bigger fighter, you need a elite level jab'.

Anthony Joshua has one of the worst jabs, I have seen in a super heavyweight. Joshua and David Price have and had under par jabs. Price actually improved his jab near the end of his career, and utilized it well vs Dave Allen 'But a peak Tyson's entire fight philosophy, was built around taking these weapons away or making them work against his opponents'.

Tyson actually for me, had greater endurance than Joshua. Joshua's best feat of endurance was vs Wladimir Kiltschko 'Where as Mike Tyson's was against Donavon Razor Ruddock'.

This version of Joshua does not even win a round vs a peak Mike Tyson or any version of Tyson from the 90's. I disagree with posters here saying? That Joshua has the ability to beat Mike Tyson 'Joshua has a very limited inside fighting game, and he seemingly does not know how the wrestle on the inside' These are the kind of rough house tactics along with a solid jab, that need to be used to beat a fully prepared Mike Tyson.

Joshua is decent enough from a distance, but he does most of his work at mid-range. I just think stylistically, none of this is good. Joshua does not have the inside fighting capability, and rough house tactics to get away with doing most of his work at mid-range 'Evander Holyfield had these abilities and so did Lennox Lewis'.

The best version of Anthony Joshua there has ever been, was against Wladimir Kiltschko.

and that version still went life and death with a 41yo, past prime Wlad

A Wlad who would have stopped him, if only he wasn't old and had enough gas left in the tank to pull the trigger when AJ was on ***** street

Maybe it's time for Joshua fans to admit the truth: the guy was never anything special, and shouldn't be compared to the ATG Hws

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Mike eats him alive. Joshua would be terrified of Mike. Mike had a lot of guys beat before they even got in the ring, Joshua would be one of them.

I thought of the exact same fight.

[Marchegiano]

Mike Tyson, KO, Early.

Only guy to even think about atm is Fury, for the record I favor Mike.

Before anyone tells me Mike ain't beat anyone. Like **** if any active HW has.

Joshua has the ability to beat Mike but he folds like a lawn chair.

this he folds mentally. ruiz 1 and usyk, his losses were mostly mental, you can see the look on his face, its like an expression of shock. I think he caves under the pressure of a mega fight with tyson.

yeah most of the time the "mental games" stuff is overrated and usually boxers are pros and not afraid of each other. But spinks was legit the most afraid i ever seen of two champs that night, he was shook going in.

[Earl-Hickey]

Oh, Joshua knocks him out easy, I would have thought that's pretty obvious, kind of a dumb question tbh Joshua is better in every way
