For anyone interested in seeing what Mike Tyson v. Tyson Fury would look like:

If Kevin McBride can frustrate Tyson, Fury might make him cry and quit.

I dont give a sht if it’s 87 Tyson or whatever Tyson. Tyson Fury would own him mentally and bully him inside the ring.

[Ubeja Vontell]

In his prime Iron Mike beats Fury to a pulp, has his handlers tossing in the towel after round three.

Wilder would last longer but not much. TKO round six.

Not going to do the back and forth thing, Mike Tyson simply hit too hard.

I think Tyson, if not a draw

[O Prophet]

80s Tyson with Rooney in his corner would have destroyed Fury.

[AJ's Boy]

Prime Iron Mike KOs the fat trash imposter.

These hypotheticals always yield same results

It's often laughable, but it gets really boring how many people give Mike Tyson the ability to easily defeat and almost always by knockout the likes of Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Rocky Marciano, and other all-time greats who were rarely floored let alone knocked out.

It's always the same thing, someone says 'a prime Tyson would have absolutely killed him and probably knocked him out within x rounds'. In the case of articles asking about Muhammad Ali or Foreman in particular, it's especially funny and uninformed. Foreman was knocked out exactly once and KNOCKED DOWN only four times in his 80 fights. Ali paid for it dearly in the end but he had a remarkable chin. He was very much hittable after his layoff due to the Vietnam draft issue, if you watch rounds 10 to 15 of any of the three Frazier fights he was getting absolutely pounded with his hands down and only fell once. Yes, Tyson had great power. And in his prime, he impressively knocked out a bunch of mostly subpar but occasionally pretty good competition.

but, on the basis of that all of these Tyson honks immediately contend he would have crushed any of the greats of all time and whenever a hypothetical comes up he's always the favorite..

he was certainly a beast and his bobbing and weaving style and power in both hands was impressive. but he was short, he clearly didn't have a great chin, and let us not forget that in his short prime before going to prison he was beat by Buster Douglas. Excuses don't matter here about his preparation or anything else. Your "best heavyweight of all time" in his prime got beaten and Floored by an average fighter at best.

that's what makes these questions when Tyson is included so boring. The answers are predictable and yet wishful and uninformed on the basis of what I've just stated. Anyone who would compare Spinks or an ancient Larry Holmes to the competition that foreman and Ali beat in their heyday is an idiot. And therefore, the vast majority who always say Tyson and easily may also be--by association.

Above All Else, Tyson Fury is usually difficult to hit... For a man of his size he's tremendously agile and deft at head movement and foot movement. Not to mention, he would have an absolutely MASSIVE reach advantage over Tyson. Much more than Douglas had. Tyson would be getting peppered from outside and he often showed, when frustrated after not getting an early knockout--as he did, quite brilliantly, do with almost all of his opponents [what I consider to be the most impressive feat; although objectively, mostly, again against less than champion level competitors] a penchant to start swinging more wildly for knockouts and abandoning his pretty good boxing skills.

When he lost to Douglas, again I must remind you all in his prime, he was knocked out indeed. But he was also getting out boxed and behind on the cards as he would be against Fury.

[Nash out]

Is this a joke? Cos Mike is fighting some tall journeyman that means he can beat Tyson Fury? I think that fight shown is not an example of how a fight between Mike Tyson and Tyson Fury goes, but how a fight between Mike Tyson and Tom Dallas goes. For the record, Tyson Fury beats Mike Tyson easily. All wrong for them physically and MENTALLY! Mike is the best HW under 6 foot ever, probably always will be, but stop this nonsense that he can beat anyone, he can't.

[Dat]

I think this is what will happen. Fury outboxes Tyson. Tyson in his frustration snaps and tries to bite Fury’s ear. But Fury is too tall so he bites Fury’s t1ts instead. Fury then body slams Tyson. Later they both have a beer
