Predictions for if Haye had fought a Prime Tyson

[Gandalf]

Tyson would kick his rear end into touch inside of a round, he would dispose of Wlad in two. Vitali would last longer, but you can't fight Tyson with your hands down so much.

....How would Mike reach Vitali's chin when Lennox Lewis had a difficult enough time doing that?

Brock, you've contradicted yourself "nobody beats Prime Tyson" and "1973 Foreman beats Tyson".....#1 "Prime Tyson" wasn't unbeatable or untouchable (Smith and Bruno rocked him) #2 Joe Louis is the Greatest Heavyweight of ALL Time and he would have crushed Tyson! Ali would have toyed with Iron Mike and any version of Big George would have whipped him. As for Lewis and Holyfield....they beat Mike in real life, I don't see why they wouldn't have been able to beat him in his prime.

Michael Spinks was a damn light heavyweight man!!!

I said only a George Foreman beats 1988 Tyson.

Lewis does NOT beat 1988 Tyson, nor does Holyfield.

Brown Bomber, hmmm, gotta think about that, I think 1988 Tyson was quicker and more difficult to hit than Joe. I'd go with 1988 Tyson over Joe Louis.

Fine....you just keep on believing that

Tyson does a Michael Spinks but only faster.

I totally agree with you here Lyle. Tyson had an invincible aura around him because he battered bums. His very best win came vs an ancient Larry Holmes who couldn't get his shots off and the only other 2 HW legends he fought kicked his ass. I'm sick of hearing he was past his best by the time he fought Holyfield. Well MAYBE but upto that point after his release from prison he was doing exactly what he was in his PRIME and that was battering bums. Hell he even beat Bruno in better fashion than he did in this so called unbeatable PRIME of his. Another thing that Tyson fans forget is going into the fight Evander was completely washed up, so imagine what a prime Evander would have done to him.

This man gets it. I mean when you ko guys like Michael Jack Johnson, Sammy Scaff, blownup light heavies like Spinks and old man Holmes, you create an aura of invincibility. But against atg Heavies like Lewis and Evander, he got his ass handed to him. What's funny is that they say Tyson was past his best, but so were Evander and Lewis when Tyson fought them.

Spot on mate.

naa completely wrong mate, you can pick holes in everyones records, if you take that approach every fighter in boxing history was over rated or shit or just beat up on bums

Tyson was awesome, a phenomonom and i hope one day we get another tyson

Tyson was way past his best when he fought lewis, he was still a force when he fought hollyfield but not a patch on the fighter he had been 10 years (or whatever) before

He was a phenom but nowhere close to the best of the best of the other eras (Ali, Foreman etc). He did well because the era he fought in wasn't that filled at the time with great and dangerous boxers, mostly sand bags and great one on the utter decline. He was intimidating, very powerful, sure, but it has been quite documented that oen who can last 5-6 rounds with Mike had all the chances to win. Douglas did bust the aura, Tyson has never been the same after, as much in his head than in the other's eyes who now saw that they could beat him.

What's funny is that they say Tyson was past his best, but so were Evander and Lewis when Tyson fought them.

Mike put no effort in to trying to regain the skills that made him great in the first place and although Holyfield and Lewis may have been past their best they still cared enough about their career and legacy to hire decent trainers, stay in long camps and train seriously. Mike did none of these things.

It took Lewis 8 rounds to take out a man who wasnt fighting back and taking every right hand he threw. Had that Tyson still moved his head and feet Lewis wouldnt have been so keen to throw anything. Mike was only taking fights for money and only getting them because of his name value. How did he earn the Lewis shot

In Mikes previous fight against Golota he actually said he was retiring because hed had enough. He was supposed to fight David Izon and Ray Mercer as warm ups. The Izon fght fell through and Lewis blocked the Mercer fight. Mike wasnt even active at the point he fought Lewis.
