Tyson at welterweight.

[ross]

Tyson would be very short, if we say the average welter weight is 5 foot 8 inches then Tyson would be 5 foot 3 and other than his punch power most elite welterweights would be able to avoid his punches.

No, if we are talking scaling him down, the man was a phenomenon at heavy, why all of a sudden wouldn't he be physically special at welter?

The massive heavies who had a bigger size advantage couldn't avoid his punches.

Tyson never fought a great heavyweight or the equivalent great welterweight would be Ray Robinson or Leonard. Tyson would not be able to beat them.

Larry Holmes is in everyones top ten?

He was 2 years past his fight with Spinks but its the Way Mike beat him. Holyfield is rated higher than Mike but he struggled against Holmes 4 years later and that included another 3 years out and a win over Mercer.

Ray Robinson lost to LaMotta, Leonard lost to Duran. Pressure fighters. Pressure fighters who didn't have Mikes power, speed or intensity.
