1986 Mike Tyson in today’s heavyweight division

Do you think he can dominate this era? And beat the reigning world champions and contenders.

I don't think so. Despite Tyson being smaller height wise against opposition in the 80s, the opposition did not look like the monsters of today. Now you got high 200lbers that look in decent shape. Heck even some over 300lbs. The guys Tyson fought in the 80s looked like they belonged in the back washing dishes at a diner. I know fighters don't have body builder physiques and it's not a body building competition, but just look at the difference between Tyson's frame and theirs during those times. Tyson was a genetic freak for his age.

You saw what Andy Ruiz did to Joshua.

1986 Mike Tyson was way better than Andy.

Also, Ngannou was trained by an old Mike Tyson and look what he was able to do against Tyson Fury in his first professional boxing match.

I actually think he would Michael Spinks the current version of Usyk.

I actually think he would Michael Spinks the current version of Usyk.

yeah prime tyson was extremely quick, his footwork was great, the weird thing is him and Usyk have something in common, they both use footwork to find their opponent out of position and counter from all angles, off from the side. So with tyson he wont find a stationary guy who wants to stand there and try to box him like the mistake that AJ made. Usyk is weaker when the naturally larger guys apply pressure on him and dont wait to throw, Tyson would be great at applying that pressure.

[JakeTheBoxer]

He would knock out them all.

[HeadShots]

He would beat Usyk based on styles. So he would be champion at least
