The only DECENT fighter Tyson beat was Golota and that was a blueprint victory and GOLOTA QUIT...he weathered Tyson's early shots and could have gone on if he wasn't a jackass!
The truth is Mike was 100% done after Buster Douglas he mailed in the rest of his career
Tommy Morrison would have beat him, Ray Mercer would have beat him, ....the list goes on
Mercer, maybe.... Morrison..No way!
Now Tommy loved to brawl, and had a ton of heart, but was a bit chinny, Mike woulda ate him up. Michael Moorer would have been iced quickly. Briggs, mighta given Mike trouble for a while, but eventually he would have been stopped. 90s Tyson was no joke, Bowe, Lewis and Holyfield were about the only guys capable of beating him. I thinke Tyson would have beaten Bowe myself, but its' kind of a toss up. You are underrating Tyson a bit, and definately overrating the Klitschkos Lyle, as usual.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
