Best Current Heavyweight That Prime Mike Tyson Knocks Out In The First Round

[F l i c k e r]

I think all this talk about Joshua having a bad chin is overrated.

Hes only been dropped by Klitschko and Ruiz in all of his fights

Being dropped by Ruiz is a big factor considering Mike punches a lot harder than Ruiz.

I think anyone with a questionable chin won't get far against Tyson.

To beat Tyson you basically have to make him feel like his punches are doing nothing. Once that happens, he has always capitulated for the most part. Minus Ruddock.

He was better than Dillian Whyte, the bloated cheater.

You keep forgettinmg that Bruno was in the deepest heavyweight era ever with Foreman, Tyson, Lennox, & Holyfield all being arguably top 10 HWs of all-time & tons of solid guys like Tua, Ibeabuchi, Moorer, Botha, & Ruddock.

Dillian Whyte couldn't even be a champion in this, one of the weakest eras of all-time.

That version of Foreman isnt a top 10 heavyweight of all time and that version of Lewis isnt either. Besides most of Brunos career was in the 80s anyways. Bruno would struggle to make the top 10 right now.

Frank Bruno skill for skill was clearly a better fighter than Whyte, and fought at a higher level 'In a by far better era'.

Frank Bruno only lost to World Champions 'And Mike Tyson, was the only one of those Champions who beat him easily in their rematch'.

Bruno fought very well vs Lennox Lewis 'And was winning all of his fights vs Bone Crusher Smith, Witherspoon before the stoppages'. You pass over the fact that those World title attempts, were not total negatives for Frank Bruno 'Even during a loss, he proved that he was a solid fighter'.

Compare that to Dillian Whyte, how did his World title fight go vs Fury? It was a terrible effort vs a Tyson Fury who than form was not very clear 'Compared to other top Heavyweights'. I have never rated Fury's performances vs Whyte as great, Fury was doing nothing until he scored a fluke knock-out.

It also took considerable amount of resistance to beat Frank Bruno 'Bruno did not just disappear or freeze soon as he was hit contrary to certain stereotypes knocking about'.

We have seen Whyte in all of his loses, pretty much getting brutally ****** out 'Bad knock-outs'. Whyte really at his best was a high European level fighter, who has benefited from being based in the UK and associating with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom 'Whyte at his peak was barely just about a World level fighter'.

Note: Far too many Heavyweights in this era, are quite simply by far too slow 'Technically unsophisticated, and docile when it comes to being faced with violence'. Its like that movie Demolition Man, the way? The law enforcement officers don't know how to deal with Wisley Snipes when he appears in the future 'Because of his heightened aggressive attitude'.

If Mike Tyson from the late 80's, early to mid 90's, was transported from the past into today's present time 'I honestly don't think today's heavyweights would be able to deal with him' Both inside and outside of the ring.

I see many hardcore Fury fans, still playing this game of 'None of those past Heavyweights fighters can compete with today's Heavyweights, because they are monster Super Heavyweights'.

The numbers on the scales state that they are super heavyweights yes, but in reality 'A big majority of the Heavyweights these days, who claim they are super heavyweights are out of condition. That is the only reason why their weight is so high'.

Tyson Fury's next fight is vs a Heavyweight who is 220 pounds Oleksandr Uysk 'And Uysk had to body build himself up to that weight'. If Usyk beats Tyson Fury, or even just pushes him in a close fight'.

The notion that this era's Super Heavyweights would be automatically too much for more classically physique Heavyweights 'This notion will be made completely unproven, erroneous'.

I believe Wilder to be honest has already proven that vs Tyson Fury.

So overall as I said in my previous post, Mike Tyson definitively has the ability to **** many Heavyweights out in this era 'Speed, Power, technical sophisticated and violence'.

Deontay Wilder when you really analyse him as a fighter, Wilder brings violence and power 'Mike Tyson was bring violence, power, technical sophistication. Mike Tyson also had a highly integrated defense which simultaneously operated in unison with his offense'.

If Wilder decked Fury 4-5 times and essentially knocked him out in the first fight 'Then in my opinion Mike Tyson has the ability to also deck Tyson Fury. And he definitively has the ability to **** many Heavyweights form this era out' etc.

This is exactly how I would describe Bruno. He just benefitted from being from the UK because back then they didnt have many serious heavyweight contenders. Thats the reality when it comes to Frank Brunos title shots. Right place right time

Foreman gave prime Holyfield a WAR and knocked out Michael Moorer & beat Shannon Briggs (& got robbed)

And Lennox destroyed Morrison, Ruddock, Golota, and beat Holyfield 3x in the '90s.

'90s Lennox is ABSOLUTELY one of the best HWs of all-time.

His best wins were in the '90s.

In the 2000s is it's just Rahman, a shot Tyson, and Klitschko

Lennox wasnt fully Lennox until around 97

Prior to that he was a very good but vulnerable heavyweight.

In that era he got knocked out by Oliver McCall and struggled with Frank Bruno. 99 Lennox would have no trouble with either.

As far as Foreman of the 90s goes he was a good contender who was fortunate enough to get a title shot (mainly because of his name) and seized the opportunity.. He lost practically every single round vs Morrison and openly ducked Bowe and Lewis. This wasnt the same force from the 70s.

Lennox never stopped being vulnerable

He got KTFO by Hasim Rahman in 2001

He struggled with Klit in 2003

Like I said, most of his best wins & performances were in the '90s.

Lennox didnt take the Rahman seriously. The rematch showed the difference between the 2

The Klitschko fight was also one in which he wasnt in good condition and was already on the decline

Lennox Lewis prime was from 97-01. The Emanuel Steward era

Pre Emanuel Steward Lennox wasnt an ATG
