I voted for Johnson to beat Tyson.

Ice mate you are still showing yourself incapable of seeing beyond the time factor.

If you could somehow teleport both a prime Tyson and a prime Johnson from their respective era's without taking away from or adding anything to their fighting styles, diet and nutrition, understanding of a modern perspective, trainers etc then I agree Tyson would win.

BUT that is not how the real world works. The way you look at this is skewed. It's like saying that if Patrick Moore and Gaileo had an astronomy competition to see who could unfathom the depths of space better that Moore would definitely win because he had a much better telescope.

But of course if Galieo lived today he would be using the same state of the art technology as Moore and so we could conclude his visionary genuis would mean he would be a better astronomer than Moore today.

It's EXACTLY the same with Johnson. If Johnson fought in the same era as Tyson he would be exposed to the same training and nutrition and would understand the MODERN fighting styles etc.

The reason Johnson was so good was because like Gallieo he was a visionary who was ahead of his time. There is no reason whatsoever to think that had he fought in Tyson's era he wouldn't have been equally as visionary and would have developed a style that would have frustrated and nullified Tyson in the same way he nullified James Jeffries.

You gotta get this old fighting style thing out of your head mate, it wasn't old at the time, he was a good 30 or 40 years ahead of his time.
