    Prime Iron Mike beats everybody except for the Super Heavyweights; the guys that are 6'5''-6'9'' and weigh around 240-275 lbs might be too big for him but that vaunted power of his might allow him to hang with the big dudes.

      Prime Tyson losses to a prime Lewis everytime probably the Klitschko brothers too.

      Prime Tyson vs AJ or Wilder as they are now I invision him destroying them.. Give AJ another 2 or 3 years and I believe he would murder prime Tyson.

        Size can be overcome, and Wilder isn't an elite fighter.

        For me, Mike would have been a heavy favourite.

        Fights against elite SHW's would obviously have been much more difficult.

          Wilder - beats easily

          Joshua - hard to say, but I'd give the edge to Joshua

            Regarding Wilder, of course a lot of people aren't sold on him. He beat a B class HW in Stiverne and has since looked poor against other B and C class HW's. He's also looked crude and uncoordinated at times.
            True to both parts. I guess he's still got it all to prove, as do a lot of heavyweights.

              Yes. After a long absence, we've now got some great characters in the division, and a lot of potential great fights to look forward to. And hopefully, Deontay can prove me wrong in the future.

                Tyson KO's Wilder and I agree with your points.

                  Knocks both out badly within 4-5 rounds.

                  I think AJ is a poor mans Frank Bruno personally.
