    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)
    wasnt aware a prime lewis or even a old lewis was fighting now

          First or second, depending on whether he beat Vitali

            Mike Tyson vs Vitali Klitschko: Tyson KO 10
            Mike Tyson vs Wladimir Klitschko: Tyson KO 3
            Mike Tyson vs David Haye: Tyson KO 1

            everyone else KO 1. he beats everyone. the state of the heavyweight division has never been so bad

              I don't care what anyone says, I say prime Vitali would give a Prime Tyson hell. But at 40 and diminishing, Tyson would be the champ now. Wladimir may have made it look good for while by frustrating Tyson staying at long range but eventually he'd get caught.

                  Mike Tyson would beat all of them with ease.

                    Definitely at least at #3 behind the Klitschkos.
                    As for the brothers, tough to say, they have a huge size advantage on Tyson, whereas he is way more mobile and ferocious (combined with the impetuous style and impregnable defense) than anyone they have ever faced. Depends on whether they could keep him at bay with powerful jabs, then at least Wlad would definitely crumble.
                    I'd go with Mike to rule the whole division and either eat all their children or stomp on their children's testicles, but that might as well just be the fanboy in me ignoring the huge physical differences...

                      Mike had a lot of experience fighting guys who were '6 2" '6 3" '6 5" ish.... He use to close distance so fast... had great head movement to avoid jabs and threw death blows. I can see him knocking out both Klits.... but i can also see him having a hard time with them if they were able to avoid being knocked out.
