Nobody beats prime Cus D'amato Tyson

D'amato died in late 1985. Mike Tyson had fought absolutely nobody to that point.

Some primes who were shıtty overrated and exposed against tough opposition.

Prime Tyson, prime GGGeezer, prime Toney, prime Hamed. I favour prime GGGeezer over anyone at being shıt.

Holyfield would have bet him 9/10 at any point.

I'd beat the **** out of Prime Tyson

Vitali Klitschko would have beaten prime Tyson

too strong, too iron chinned, too smart, he can box and brawl, way superior to Tyson fitness wise, too

Mike would start to fade after 5-6 rounds, he was never able to maintain that high level of pressure and intensity for too long

Vitali could fight effectively for the full 12 rounds, and he's even tougher than Holyfield and can absord more damage if need be

Vitali would dwarf Tyson's reach, made him eat jabs and straights for the first rounds, tie him up if needed, then surgically destroy him in the later rounds

plus, a big part of Tyson's gameplan was his boogeyman aura, the FEAR he instilled on his opponents. Vitali can't be intimidated.

Vitali by late TKO

Not true. I beat that ass on Mike Tyson’s punch out multiple times as a kid on my NES. Easy work.

Could it be because he was 19 at the time? Moron.

Honestly, prime Tyson would have been too much for anyone, a true phenom.

The speed, the power, the ferocity.

I tend to agree to a certain degree. I believe a peak Tyson and a peak Lewis that Lewis would win again. I also think a prime Wladimir would whip Tyson.
Same goes for a prime Holyfield. Fury could also beat Tyson.

Too many to count would beat him. Evander and Lewis, Vitali as mentioned. Fury would, Foreman easily. Ali and Holmes, Liston, Bowe has a good shot, The more I think about it the more names come up.
Don't be intimidated and then use the basic strategy that usually beats the one-dimensional Cus Damato style.
