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

[cupocity303]

prime tyson might do the Brewster on Wlad, but Vitali would break him down and make him quit

Might is the KEYWORD. But we're talking about a very narrow prime here, circa 85-89 Tyson, apologizing away any losses after that. Therefore Wlad was NOT the prime Wlad Vs Brewster, that he is now. 85-89 Tyson gets TKO'd Vs a 2006-2011 Wlad Klitschko or Vitali.

[Goodfella12]

What we should be discussing is what round would each of the current top ten contenders and title holders get KO'd in.

Prime Tyson failed to stop 5 bums (Green, Tillis, Smith, Tucker, Ruddock) and he was destroyed by tomato can Buster Douglas.

Tyson had 6 embarrassing losses, was KO'd 5 times.

Tyson was an overrated bum. He gets murdered by either Klitschko.

Tyson would be the undisputed champion again.

The way some of these guys oversimplify things, with today's Heavyweight division, one could throw it right back at them with simplistic comebacks. I.E. How does a 5'10 guy knock out giant Heavyweights, they must've really ******. If Lamon Brewster was around, he would've took Tyson's best punches (for visuals think of Tua Vs Tua vs Ibeabuchi), and knocked him out, beating the bully out of Iron Mike). POW!!!!!!

Body punching? The discussion was, how would a prime Tyson do in this HW div.
How would he fight the Klitschkos? slip the jab(something that tyson was great at in his prime), get inside of the Klitschkos reach(don't tell me does guys have good inside game except for putting their weight on the opponent),
Use his brutal body punching and rip their body continuesly, put massive pressure on them.
If his gas tank holds then a prime Tyson could have a great chance against Vitali, Wlad he KO's.

Tyson just has to land one of his brutal left hooks or an uppercut and Wlad is going to sleep.

BTw are you honestly so ****** that you think Lamon Brewster beats Tyson? Honestly?
You sound like Masterful or some other massive Klitrider.
Lamont is a bum in comparison to prime Tyson.
who is he? a guy who got a lucky punch on Wlad.
The fact that Wlad has been KO'd a couple of times, and haven't met anyone with the speed and power of a prime Tyson and someone with the defense that prime Tyson had.
All combined in one fighter who also knew how to neutralize the jab.(in his prime)

[Clegg]

It wouldn't have suited his style, but Tyson would've gotten up on his toes and moved around like Ali.

[Flabulous]

Tyson vs Tyson. (Fury)

[LeG00N]

he would be undefeated and be the unified champ

Question: "How would Mike Tyson between 85-89 be ranked in the current HW Division?"

Answers: "Well Tyson lost to Danny Williams so how could he beat Klitschko?"

"Tyson couldn't handle Lennox Lewis well so he'd probably lose to Klitschko"

"Tyson struggled with McBride so chances are he'd lose to Klitscko"


Try reading, you're almost 20 years out.

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

I agree with this
