    Who could beat Mike Tyson toe to toe?

    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?

              Douglas knocked out a 24 year old Tyson. How much prime can you get?

              Unless Tyson was a pro boxer going through wars at 8 years old, and at 24 was already worn out, which was not the case.

                    Mental factors play into just about every fighters demise, Tyson was no different.

                    A prime/focused Tyson would only have been concerned if he was lined up to fight King Kong on the top of the Empire State Building. In a ring it probably would have been a pick 'em fight..............Rockin'
