How would a prime cus tomato Mike Tyson do against Usyk?

[soul_survivor]

Do you think he could get to Usyk, or would the movement bamboozle tyson

Usyk obliterated in about 4 or 5 rounds.

Tyson destroys Usyk.

I actually think Ali vs Usyk would've been an extremely intriguing matchup.

I don't.

Pre programmed eastern European robot style would be easily worked out by a maestro like Ali.

Usyk and lomachenko execute a series of pre programmed routines over and over again, Ali would dismantle that style.

Tyson wasn't built for heavyweight either.

He got beaten up by a blown up Cruiserweight.

I think people underestimate how good Usyk is.

Was it the Bellew or Gassiev win that sold you?

I thought Joshua 1 was as impressive a heavyweight performance as I've seen in a very long time.

But how does Tyson handle the movement of usyk

I dont think Usyk could keep him off successfully enough to prevent Tyson doing damage.

Prime, early 20's Tyson vs prime late 20's Usyk, both coming in around 215lbs, is one of my favourite fantasy fights.

I would favour Usyk to win on points, but he would be dancing on thin ice for the first 5/6 rounds and one mistake would be disastrous for him.

If Usyk made it to the second half of the fight, Mike would have slowed down and Usyk would pile up the points and win by clear UD.

A lot of people underestimate how good most of the current top HWs are.

I like tyson, and I want him to be rated high historically. But it's hard to call. Usyk is very good.
Tyson looked great koing fighters below elite level, so that can sway how you think Tyson would do. But usy k is good, very good.
Prime Tyson didn't best any real great heavyweights, and nobody really best a prime Tyson?
So you pays your money and takes your choice, which is my way of saying there's no real wrong answer

So I'm really the first person in this thread to mention Usyk struggled with an old Chisora? And muppets got him beating a prime Tyson. Christ..
