Calvin Brock wouldn't be EASY to beat but Tyson would eventually KO him.


Mike Tyson as a prime fighter still had trouble with tall boxers, good movers, and guys that tied him up on the inside. And as active as he was he followed a lot of fighters, stalking them which of course led to his troubles with the taller fighters and the more mobile fighters.

Mike Tyson was good no doubt but he'd still have trouble with these guys....it's not an easy division which is one reason there is no ONE fighter at the top of it
