Who could beat Mike Tyson toe to toe?

[jas]

foreman, dempsey, vitali, liston, holmes, bowe, shavers, holyfield, frazier.

Oliver McCall maybe, he had a lot of experience in sparring with him...he would have a chance.

[_original_]

Foreman for sure.

Tua and Ike Ibeabuchi could possibly have slaughtered Tyson in a toe to toe battle.

Is there any man on Earth who could beat an in-his-prime eighties Tyson by standing in front of him -- via grueling decision or KO/TKO?

Tough one to call, Tyson was a beast of a boxer... But who knows what his toe game is like!!!!

[Earl-Hickey]

vitali klitschko

In a slugfest only Foreman and Liston. Others would have beat him like Ali, Holmes, Louis, Johnson, Frazier but not in a slug fest. Tyson that fought Holyfield and Lewis was already finished, at his best I'd pick him to KO them both.

Foreman, I'd give Liston a solid chance, Maybe or Vitali or Bowe although I could see him stopping either of them too.

Foreman is the only one I would favor in a toe to toe battle

Tyson would have brutalized those three standing toe to toe. Dempsey would give a live fight but is giving away too much weight to a devastating puncher who fights very similar to him.. bad match up.

Holmes was a technical fighter, no clue why you mentioned him.

Shavers had a great punch but a dodgy chin and limited skills, tyson would KO him early.

Frazier would be in for a tough night too but his superior endurance gives him a good chance if he makes it through the early onslaught.

holyfield imo would have to play it a bit more carefully than he did in '96, he could beat a prime Tyson but hes not going to do it letting Tyson put hands all over him.
