How would a prime Tyson have done in the 70s heavy weight division.

I hear 70's HW was the best HW era ever...how would a prime mike do?
Would he clean it out? (that dude)
Be a champ but win some lose some?
A top contender?
A journey man?

Iron Mike destroys all!

70s Ali Foreman and Norton all beat him easier than Douglas did, and possibly prime Holmes gives him a boxing lesson as well.

Right off the top of my head, Tyson beats Frazier, Norton, Shavers, Young, Lyle, Quarry, Spinks(!). A slight lean to Holmes, however Larry would need to be perfect, which he rarely was, in order to not make that round 7 hit-by-a-right-hand mistake he so often made. Otherwise Tyson gets him. Foreman beats-up Tyson in 3. The 1971 Ali that lost to Frazier I'm not so sure about however the 1974 Ali would stop tyson sometime around the 12th.

Ali would have broken Tyson mentally. Guys like Foreman, Frazier, Norton probably break him physically.

One thing I always associate with the 70’s Heavyweights is they were tough, you weren’t just going to walk through them. Even when Foreman beat Frazier he got up like 5 times, I’m not sure Mike had the resilience mentally or physically to succeed in this era.

- - Ali got beat up that Foreman fight. Clayton saved Ali with a short count.
