How would Mike Tyson have faired against modern day sized heavyweights?

With Cus D'amato no problem.

People believe that Tyson was all power and in my opinion his power was overrated, he was fast, with great footwork, great footspeed, amazing at picking shots, at counterpunch, with great defense, great movement, and amazing at angles with killer instinct, wich fighter today in hw is so complete?
I hate when people overrate tyson but i hate when they underrate him too, he would have destroyed many of today heavies, and i only give Vlad a chance.

Not a good chance. Povetkin would knock him out, hell even Parker would beat him

[LetOutTheCage]

I would fancy a prime Tyson against all the modern heavyweights. Fast, Great head movement and an explosive puncher who was great at finishing opponents. I'm still not convinced by half of the modern heavyweights.

IMO only Vitali because of his chin, Wladimir for his skill and Fury for his foot speed and awkwardness will give Tyson problems or beat him.

Anthony Joshua is good but not proven that he might have beat prime Tyson yet.
Wilder will do the chicken dance like he did when he sparred Haye

Tyson's opponents were all over six foot tall , Berbick (6'2), James Smith (6'4), Tony Tucker (6'5), Jose Ribalta (6'5)

"Top" HW's are definitely giants now compared to Tyson's era, who the tallest guys were 6'3" on average, emphasis on top because yes Tyson fought some tall guys but neither were all that, some were put in the ring with him to get KO'ed, some were decent. Now you got a bunch of Lennox Lewis's and Vitali's roaming around the top 5. The landscape has changed, it's just not the same as what Tyson was facing. Douglas was shorter and smaller in height than the current HW's and you saw what he did to Tyson. Also the guys that lost by decision to prime Tyson were tall 6'3-6'5 guys. Let's face it, the tall guys he KO'ed were just not good at all, they have double digits in the loss column. Wilder, Joshua, Fury, are all better fighters than those guys, and much bigger and taller with more tendencies to box rather than brawl

So prime mike will lose to the tier 2 HW`s of toay including unproven prospects is that your humble opinion ? unreal , just unreal.......

Tyson came out short whenever he faced a real challange. He beat b level guys bad.

[Earl-Hickey]

Most of the "big guys" tyson beat were actually only 6'2"-6'3" 225-230

He never beat anyone 6'6" 245+ and I think he'd struggle badly tbh

Not to say he's not better p4p he obviously is but the 2005 onwards superheavy is like another weight class to the big heavy of the 90s

It's not unreal. Each time he faced someone decent he struggled and lost. The fighters today are better, stronger, and smarter
