how long would bummy last against prime Mike?

[Pac=Duran]

How long would any current heavyweight last against him?

Joshua would be 50/50 against Prime Mike and I think Tyson Fury would box his ears off.

Luis Ortiz beats Tyson easy. I even give a shot to 175s like Ward, Gvozdyk and moved up Kovalev.

tyson was a wrecking ball vs the bums he fought.
was bullied vs the few quality guys he fought.

i think wilder frustrates him with his mixture of size (6'7'' 83''r to tysons 6' 71''r) and power. wilder would (or should) be able to time always predictable tyson and get him to quit in the 11th.

It's hard to know for sure but Tyson would knock him out before the end of round five in my opinion and he could finish Wilder as early as the first round.

The Tyson that had Rooney in his corner would finish them off within 4 rounds. IMHO, Tyson never legitimately lost a fight. Douglas got a 14 second count. Holyfield (Roided to the gills, see Evan Fields) headbutted a broken, unfocussed Tyson. And NO Tyson DID NOT bulldoze his way in his fights. He had awesome head movement and a very underrated jab. He was hardly hit flush when he was with Rooney.

Joshua would be 50/50 with Wilder... Thats why those 2 need to fight

Tyson would break the ribs of Bum squad. Everyone that fights him never goes to the body and I'll tell you why many heavyweights are lazy they don't want to bend the knees get inside and dig the body they are content fighting up right from the outside thats a big no no when you are fighting someone who's 3 to 6 inches taller than you. Look at Stiverne he's what 6 foot 1 wants to fight up like he's Klitschko or something had he had his knees bent say like Prime Tyson or Fraizer or even Marciano he would be able to get under many of the punches cause when you have your knees bent it's much easier to slip or bob and weave. Than you do your inside fighting and work that body

Tyson cleaned out the division. Once Cus died Tyson discipline took a nose dive and when he left Rooney to Don King so did his skills. Tyson style was made by Cus the Peek a Boo style with head movement and slipping of punches once he bonded that style he was just an average guy. Watch a Youtube video of Cus he states Mike Tyson has the ability to be the best Heavyweight ever but he must remain discipline to do so. Do you think he was disciplined once he was with King

i had to stop there for obvious reasons. no one tyson beat had any kind of legacy. it was a revolving door to the hw throne.

do tell, what story can be told about the best opponent tyson beat who wasnt over the age of 35 OR inactive for over 18 months.

Very nice summary of Tyson when he was in his heyday. He also was a nerd... !!??? Yes a nerd, he hit the books as hard as he hit opponents. You can watch him implement subtle things, especially done by Dempsey. For example, people tend to look at Dempsey wailing and say things like "they had no technique back then, dude punches like a girl, etc etc. Dempsey, and Tyson used to do this: would set up hit then pivot into the next position to hit the guy before the guy was even there. So when a guy went forward, instead of trying to reach around him? Dempsey/Tyson would take a step to the center first. Seems easy enough but it takes a great sense of positioning, distance and timing.

Tyson when focused would be a good fight for any heavyweight in history. He was hard to hit, I would not say his jab was much of a weapon personally but, his footwork, evasive head movement, and his punching with either hand equally hard made him a force to be reckoned with.

Its hard to imagine Wilder catching Mike... Wilder is getting much better putting combos together, but Mike was a hard man to catch coming in.
