Mike Tyson Dream Fight: Floyd Mayweather If They Were Same Size

Mike’s advanced bob n weave gives Floyd fits I think. He had a better defense than JLC, Cotto and Maidana

Mike also jabbed real well for a short guy

Mike lost to any true top level guy he fought

This would be no different

Mike was world-class , Floyd was elite

I would pick Tyson if they were the same size. Mayweather’s style would beat Tyson if he had the reach advantage he had in so many of his fights. Tyson won’t beat an excellent defensive boxer who can keep him at bay with the jab. If they were the “same size”, I don’t think Mayweather can fight that way against Tyson.

Mike bites Mayweather out of frustration by the 5th

Mike was an elite pressure fighter, Floyd is very dependent on the referee actions. Both undefeated? I think Vegas would side with Mike.
If Maidana could do it, Mike would get the job done easier. What Mike are we getting? 88 version, or 98 version? Floyd superpower was his dedication, truly unrivaled.

so tyson will fight a 37 year old mayweather...well i guess we get a 37 year old tyson

I think the Peek a Boo style would beat the shoulder Roll A person who knows how to slip do angles and shift legs like a 1986 to 1989 Tyson beats Floyd

Whatever you prefer the fight to develop as... I would prefer 25-30 y/o... We know Mike didn't take care of himself as good as Mayweather, and I tried to make a point about that, but as a boxing fan, I would love to witness a good scrap.

Good fight. Floyd is the better fighter but Mike�s educated pressure gives him the stylistic edge

And Mike was extremely athletic unlike Castillo, Cotto, and Maidana. Mike athleticism up there with Ali and Roy

Anyways I see Floyd figuring Mike out and winning a 7-5 or 8-4 kind of decision

https://www.essentiallysports.com/bo...s-dream-fight/

Castillo beat Floyd on HBO Score card 8 rounds to 4 If Tyson is far more athletic how does he lose 8 to 4 or 7 to 5 ? I think it�s Tyson who wins 8 to 4 or by KO unless your talking the wash up version that fought Holyfield and Lewis
