How would prime Mike Tyson do against the current top heavyweights? (Joshua, Fury)

[james16million]

Tyson's most brutal Knockouts
I honestly think Prime Tyson can knock out any current HW, including Fury

[powerpuncher]

Fury would be the hardest because of length and style. He would easily take out Wilder and I think take out AJ mid to late rounds

[Master]

Still think Tyson takes out all of them. Wilder in round 1, Fury midway, AJ is still not at his best and think he can get better.

[Primo Carnera]

Prime Mike Tyson beats all bar a handful of guys ever, so naturally he would have no trouble whatsoever disposing of anybody fighting today.

[Mark TKO]

Takes Wilder out early and Joshua the mid rounds.

Fury would be the most awkward for him but a prime Tyson should find a way to connect within 12 rounds which should be enough.

Fury does have skills to frustrate him but not the power to stop him.

[TitoFan]

So far it seems pretty unanimous. I'll join the chorus and say he beats all three of them. Wilder and AJ by knockout... Fury... depends. If Fury goes in there full-grappling mode he may last out a decision. He's already proven he can take a good punch.

[El Kabong]

Everyone will immediately say "Tyson KO's everyone today" and yeah I mean he COULD he certainly had the power to, he had the skill to.


IF (big if) the current crop was to fight and beat Tyson here's what they would have to do to accomplish that.....

Tyson Fury: use length, tie up when Mike gets close and lean on him hard, play the usual head games, stay behind the jab, don't try anything silly stay focused. If Fury was able to do all of those things land clean punches and avoid getting hit too clean in return he would win a decision providing he didn't fight too negatively.

Anthony Joshua: Try to be more like Holyfield and less like Bruno. When Tyson gets rough you stand your ground and give some back. Pump the jab and try to slow/time his head movement. Use your size, stay in your gameplan and don't overextend on power punches as he's a counter puncher with lights out power. If AJ did that and was active with his hands he could wear Tyson down late


Deontay Wilder: BOX for the love of God, use your length, use your legs, make Tyson chase you, pour the power on LATE after giving him a little taste early. When Tyson tires his head stops moving and that is when you swing for the fences (which is still dangerous but it's either that or swing away once the fight starts and both are incredibly dangerous vs Tyson) if Wilder did all that and was extremely accurate with his punches (HA) he could score a KO providing he connected just right.



Don't hate on me, I'm just providing examples of how those guys would have to fight in order to beat Tyson. I think Tyson would probably beat all of them and he could beat them by KO or decision doesn't matter a win is a win.

Strangely enough I can see Fury having the best chance of the three regardless of power. Joshua too flat footed and squared. Wilder never makes it to the ring. He starts talking that 'catching bodies leave you bloody' nonsense to Mike and they find him folded in a suitcase with that dumb mask poking out his arse and his ears gnawed off.
