Will we ever see another fighter the size of Tyson dominate the HW division?

[HitmanTommy]

Anyone think it happens eventually?

[New England]

maybe. tyson didn't reign forever. beat berbick in very late '86 and lost to douglas in very early '90. that's really not the style and the build for it. however, i have no doubt that tyson would smash wilder and he'd smash joshua just about as bad. they're very big but they lack the nuance and experience developed in the HW landscape during and immediately after the reign of tyson. yeah, they'd be bigger than anybody he'd seen and very athletic, but keep in mind also that they'd be fighting mike tyson! both joshua and wilder get hit, it makes them exciting. they are not wladimir klitschko and this is HW boxing! tyson would get to a middle distance, off to the side, and land.

so the question is, "will there ever be another great HW the size of mike tyson?"

EVER? almost surely, yes. is it going to become increasingly unlikely that a 5'11", 215 lb HW is champion for several years? probably. but will there never be another one? i doubt that. all you gotta do is get your title shot, knock out somebody the level of tyson fury, deontay wilder, or AJ, and win some alphabet mandatories and maybe a rematch.

Stop smoking crack. Tyson didn’t even beat any great boxer of his era.

Tyson was exciting and fun to watch. But he wasn’t as invincible as some of you casuals make him out to be. He’d spark out Wilder with ease tho. Josh will flatten him.

How tall is Michael Hunter?

[Long jabber]

jesus christ some people realy dont know boxing

[HeadShots]

not with game planning at the highest level these days. the Emmanuel Steward school of boxing teaches the taller fighter to tie up and lean on the smaller fighter in clinches to wear them out.

this strategy will go down in history. The likes of Tyson will always get taken into the latter rounds this way and lose the snap in their punches/speed.

then they will be picked off.



No Tyson never KOed some 6'7 athletic beast like Wilder.

[MusoMeanderings]

We see Usyk and Gassiev coming up in weight, so maybe.

[MartialMind]

Size as in height or size as in overall size?

Mike was dummy thicc

[Pigeons]

Evgeny Romanov is climbing up the rankings.
