    Would 1980's version of Mike Tyson clean up current heavyweight division and become?

    Would 1980's version of Mike Tyson clean up the current heavyweight division and become undisputed champion today like how he managed to back in 1980's? Or is he incapable due to certain limitations such as lack of size for example? Can he defeat the top current heavyweights like he managed to in the 1980's to become undisputed champion?

    What do you think?

    Obviously. He'd absolute decapitate every last one and no doubt inside four rounds.

    He already beat a better, harder hitting, more experienced AJ in Bruno twice and that uncoordinated bum with toothpick legs would be nothing but a walk in the park.

          The decline of the heavyweight division started after Lewis's reign and continued all through the Klitchko era. When you have a robotic body builder and Mr Windmill as the potential top match up for undisputed, you know the heavyweight division is still weak as f##k.

            ANTHONY JOSHUA has shunned talk that he might have been able to beat Mike Tyson had the two heavyweights been active at the same time.

                  AJ, Wilder, Ortiz, Parker (lol), Povetkin maybe the top HWs atm but none are great by any stretch.

                  You've got one guy who's a robot and cannot even put three punches together without needing three rounds to catch a second wind then you've got Wilder this guy literally swings himself off his own feet. Parker wouldn't even be top 10 in another era. Some interesting fights to be made but they're not close to great HWs.
                  None have a great jab or can fight inside at all.

                  Just big yops Michael Grants in a stone cold dead era

                    80's Tyson would obliterate them all hugely aggressive, great power, faster hands, faster feet better footwork, actually moved his head and had a defence,better conditioned ect ect
