I would say Tyson has a small chance....all of the current champs are really flawed....Brewster has beat two shot fighters in Wladamir and Golota and hasn't really shown all that much..he was almost gone is the Klit fight till wladamir ran out of gas...Byrd can't hit worth a damn and probably wouldn't be able to ge Tyson out, plus he's slowed down a bit which would mean that Tyson could actually hit him....Ruiz...he was down against Golota, was dispatched quickly by Tua, and made a fool of by Jones and Toney....he could wear tyson down but the grabbing thing would work to tyson's advantage since he is only good at close range and could rpobably connect a few times before Ruiz locked him up....Vitali would give Tyson the biggest problem...if he could work the body he could take a lot of steam off vitali's punches and maybe get him to short circuit like his brother and fall over from exhaustion....but tyson usually beats himself way before his opponent does...if he has confidence and some dedication to his training I would say he has a shot...if its the same tyson that has been showing up for the last few years than even McBride has a chance of beating him...I would love to see tyson at the top again though, even if he did get toppled soon after...than he could retire with a little money.

Originally posted by Kid AchillesTyson can crack harder than Corrie? Why, because you say so? Let's see you prove it. Even if Mike does somehow hit harder, it's not by much.
Personally I've seen Tyson's best KO'a and I've seen some of Corrie's and I think Sanders has the bigger punch. Tyson is a better combination puncher but Sander's straight left is just unbelievably quick and strong.
So if Sander's best stuff couldn't KO Vitali, Tyson's won't either. At least not with one punch. He will have to land several shots in quick succession to take Klitschko out. He would have to become a combination puncher again and to quote Martin Lawrence, "**** just ain't gonna mother****ing happen".
In terms of hand speed, I would say Tyson is actually slower than Sanders, and his reach is much worse. So I don't even see him getting to Vitali to begin with, let alone hurting him or KOing him with a big bomb. Vitali is too big, too good, and too smart to get nailed by Midget Mike.
I will say this- if Tyson pulled this one off, I would give the guy some serious respect for once. But before we even theorize this matchup, Tyson needs to prove he's worthy of the fight.

Tyson's hands are slightly quicker than what is average for a heavyweight. Nothing that great anymore. Did you see the Botha fight? Botha was clowning Mike before the poor slob walked into a right hand. If they were to rematch I would probably go with Botha; I doubt he'd make the same mistake twice.
Sanders is quicker for sure.

that was because Tyson was just wailing shots, his timing is off and he has slowed down, and his foot work is nothing like it was in his prime, he was always in a position to attack back in the day becuase off his foot work, but even with all that lacking in the current Tyson he is still able to land on people becuase he still has quick hands for a heavy weight.

Can Tyson take on:
Ruiz? Maybe..
Brewster? No.. Brewster has a great chin and it will be Tyson/Williams II
Klitchko? No..
Byrd? Maybe.. I don't see Byrd KO Tyson, but Tyson will run out of gas, so I wonder what would happen

to put things into perspective i knew that tyson was going to get his ass handed to him by lennox.
at this place in time with all the clowns in the hvywght division, if tyson shows he's at least trying to get in shape and wins over this cornfed less muscular golata big type mcbride without being disqualified for frustrated behavior, then the other belt holders are going to have to look at him,it would mean a big payday. and for the majority of the belt holding hvywght clowns if tyson goes ballistic for the first few rounds he could get lucky and win a belt. then with selective breeding of controled matchups by the criminals arum and king it could be made possible for mike to increduously become undisputed hvywght king.
but i would much rather see a 300lb slow dangerous tua fight a maniacal tyson. i can see these guys going toe to toe on their knees after the fourth round. both are the dirtiest fighters. and if they have a wwf ref do the referreeing of this event this fight could be a bigger money maker than any of the other heavyweight matchups.
