Prime Iron Mike versus Joshua or Wilder today

[HarvardBlue]

Most of prime Mike Tyson opponents lost the fight before they stepped in the ring. If Joshua and Wilder walked in with confidence they could make it tough. If they came in with doubts it would be quick work for Tyson. Joshua might last a little longer than Wilder but not by much.

Iron Mike destroys Wilder in 3. I would actually feel bad to see Wilder put to sleep, but him going down while being so tall and lanky would be a site to see. Like a demolition job or train wreck.

Joshua gets knocked out too, but I could see a war as long as it lasts. Like Tyson vs. Ruddock, but with Joshua getting stopped sooner.

I wholly disagree with him nullifying their jabs. Buster & Lewis both would class as Super HWs, both kept him at bay. I acknowledge he was washed up vs Lewis. His weakness IMO was a bigger man that could gauge the distance.

A prime Mike nullified one of the greatest jabs in the game, Holmes

At his peak, Tyson wins.

Tyson vs Wilder
wilder lands early with big righthand in rounds 1 & 2, round 3 Wilder misses with the jab & tyson quickly counters with left hook, down goes wilder & he keeps trying to get up a la Carl 'the truth' Williams.
Tyson by 3rd round ko.

Tyson vs Joshua
Joshua wins round 1,2,& 3 on jabs & beating mike to the punch. But mike is pressuring...Round 4 Tyson catches Joshua in the middle of the ring, on a clinch, with an right upper cut & a blazing left hook that sends joshua reeling back & on his back at the sound of the bell. Round 5 starts off with Tyson charging the ring with Joshua engaging with him in an all out brawl (a la Razor Rud****) with mike getting the best out of it. joshua regroups & takes rounds 6 & 7. Round 8 they start trading punches ...but the inevitable is that Tyson ends it with joshua on the ropes with barrage of punches.
Tyson by 8 round tko.

Could you be a bit more specific please.

I think a prime Tyson would knock either of them out in the early rounds. Tyson was much faster and more skillful both on offense and defense. Tyson had a better chin than either of them and he threw more punches per round. Most of the time Wilder doesn't throw correct punches. He often throws very wide, telegraphed punches that leave him open for a sharp shooter like Tyson. AJ hits very hard and throws correct, accurate punches but he only throws about 30 punches a round. Tyson throws fast bombs in combinations and he throws almost twice as many punches as AJ per round. I don't think AJ could handle that pace or avoid all those Tyson bombs. AJ and Wilder could KO Tyson if they land a huge punch and follow it up before Tyson knocks them out. I don't think that is likely to happen.

Could you be a bit more specific please.

For what? There's no need basically, Tyson would eventually ko Wilder. Tyson was just too quick. Speed & Power kills! Wilder's defense is not up to par to keep tyson from landing those BOMBS.
Tyson is too quick for joshua as well. Tyson is better balanced & better speed & Joshua's non head movement would spell trouble....

Tyson vs Joshua would be no different than Berbick, Vs Wilder he would break his little skinny ribs Tyson by Ko in 5

In tyson's era these two would be called as another bum.
