How would prime Tyson be ranked in the current heavyweight division?

[Larry the boss]

If prime Tyson from 85-89 was active now how would he be ranked?

[jrosales13]

What wins would he have under his belt?

[tennishero]

everyone except vitali

he'd get KO'd in the later rounds by vitali

he'd KO a prime lewis though (lennox's chin wouldn't stand upto tyson)

[-Superman]

He would knock all of them out with ease

Vitali is way too slow for him, people forget what a monster tyson was in his prime. He would brutalise every heavyweight

no... he might beat vitali.. but it won't be easy.. it would be a pretty damm close fight. and vitali would give him hell trust me on that

[E-Thug]

Mike would be ranked number 1. Vitali would be his toughest challenge.

prime vitali yes (with good reflexes for a big guy and better stamina)

I will say the same thing about him as I do against guys like pacman and khan, its a lot easier to look against guys who dont move in front of you.

Tyson's head movement is the best I have ever seen, the man in his prime was a freak of nature, he would destroy every heavyweight

this isnt a dig on klits at all man, I am just saying it as I see it. A prime vitali has a decent chance, i still think he would lose but the guy would give as good as he got for around 2 rounds, in those 2 rounds he may have knocked tyson out if he caught him clean

[tennishero]

no matter what version of tyson there was holyfield owns his ass

and vitali would **** holyfield

[Zocalo]

It would be clear that he wouldn't have an equal. Vitali might be the only one with a chance of making a real fight but even then his lack of lateral mobility would make it hard for him to last the 12 rounds.

[nomadman]

A prime Tyson in today's era would probably get fat and take on stiffs hoping for a shot at the Klits. Or he'd get bored at the lack of a challenge. Or he'd become a mandatory for Povetkin who'd scream a girly scream and run for the hills.
