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

[Spicoli]

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.

Easy to say on paper how to beat another boxer, but being in the ring and having to deal with it, that's obviously another story.

Tyson was constant aggression, that could last the whole fight, closing you down. Fast punches on target that you may not see, hurt you the most.

Aren't we talking about the first version of Tyson that lasted for just over 2 years, not the second version which didn't have the same head movement, or the third version which was a 4 round world champion and a smaller version of George Foreman.

People are saying that Fury would have the best chance or would be the most awkward and I get why.
But what we have to factor in is that Fury looks technically good and awkward compared against this era against relatively speaking lesser quality Boxers.
It doesn’t mean he is going to be awkward against a prime Tyson or any really good /great HW’s . Tyson was extremely accurate with great timing and freakish power with minimal torque.
He might just get caught and KO’d in the 1st round. He does have heart and get back up when he’s down, but I would suggest Tyson is a far more concussive puncher than Cunningham and Wilder.

I think mainly because Fury would have a huge height advantage and would gameplan to use his length to touch Tyson with his jab and then grab him once he got close. I agree though that it’s a tough ask for Fury to last the fight, but he is tough and may be able to frustrate Tyson. I think Tyson wins, but I wouldn’t be completely shocked at an upset.

AJ doesn’t have the boxing ability to keep Tyson on the end of his jab and circle the whole fight. And AJ would not win a fire fight.

Wilder has such a bad style match up so I honestly can see it ending in the first round. Three rounds max.

Tyson was terrific against the oponants he faced , he lost every fight when he got hit back. Who did Tyson beat of any real note ?

Prime Tyson KO's all. Past it Tyson loses to all, oh, the irony.

Ruddock hit him pretty hard and still lost to Mike. Just sayin'

Undefeated Tony Tucker, Tyrrell Biggs who were 6 ft 6inches plus, motivated Pinklon Thomas, undefeated and awkward Spinks.
