tyson against the greats

tyson vs larry holmes
muhammed ali
ken norton
joe fraizer
george foreman
riddick bowe
floyd patterson
joe louis
rocky marciano



Round 1 larry holmes vs mike tyson my take on it= well back in 88 holmes done well against tyson until he got caught how would young holmes cope ?? i see holmes winning ud over 12 rounds with holmes getting dropped in 6 tyson wobbles holmes few times but holmes gets job done by ud

Round 2 muhammad ali vs mike tyson= ali would win same reason holmes would hes fast footwork and fast hands ali would get rattled a few times but hes got to chin to cope ali by ud

Round 3 ken norton vs mike tyson= norton struggled with big bombs foreman shavers cooney ect tyson destroys norton in first round

Round 4 joe fraizer vs mike tyson= umm this is very tough one both hard hitters fraizer has better chin tyson better in speed both men battle through with one of best slugfests seen this goes two ways tyson gets fraizer early or fraizer gets tyson late i see fraizer riding tysons early storm to stop tyson late

Round 5 george foreman vs mike tyson= ok fraizer got destroyed by foreman fraizer and tyson are similar to be honest i know people will disagree but i see foreman getting tyson early by ko

Round 6 riddick bowe vs mike tyson= right bowe in his prime was excellent good inside work and great jab i see this going like holyfield vs bowe tyson has hes moments but with bowes extra strength and extra weight he stops tyson late

Round 7 floyd patterson vs mike tyson= patterson was great fighter but hes chin wasnt the best i see patterson getting stopped in 2 rounds or 1

Round 8 joe louis vs mike tyson= joe louis was excellent fighter joe louis wins with one of best left jabs seen in buisness by ud there is a chance the raging tyson could get to him early which is possible but i see louis winning ud after getting dropped once in first round

Round 9 rocky marciano vs mike tyson= wow this would of been something tyson drops marciano twice in first round but marcianos sheer guts and never give up attitude along with hes great power stops tyson late

i know many will disagree with me but thats how i see it

If you were a bit older you may see things in a different way - not meaning that as a piss take

I know you have seen loads of Tyson's fight, but you probably have too many memories from your lifetime of what doesn't became and not what he was.

I know the theory, that a great jabber/boxer that would stand up to Tyson like Lewis did would've beaten him, i.e Holmes or Bowe. I just don't think circa 88 anybody could've actually put that into practice

As you say it's opinions.

P.S I think Tyson is a nastier bully than foreman was and I def think he had more tools i.e better jab, better head movement, better ring generalship, better defence, better lateral movement, an equally hard punch

Tyson would be FAR too fast for Foreman IMO. I actaully think at his best, he had enough to beat anyone in history, ANYONE!Yes even Muhammed Ali. Let the sadclicks commence....

Click right back fella ;)

The two on that list I disagree with are Louis and Marciano... both of them are entirely too small to handle Mike and alot of the other great heavyweights since that generation. Could be wrong though :)

I don't agree with some of them either - but so fucking what?

How about Tyson v Liston (both in their primes?)

Tyson-Liston would be the closest of those fights

I see Tyson losing to most all-time greats especially the Louis' and Marciano's.


Mike Tyson was good but he lacked the testicular fortitude to take it to the best of the best

I see Tyson either boxing for a UD or stopping Liston. He wasnt just a KO artist, he had GREAT skills people forget.
