You are Mike Tysons trainer

Just my opinion of course.

More or less agree, though a prime-for-prime matchup between these guys would be 50/50 in my view. Very close to call, both guys posing problems to the other.

Tyson only had punching power and a few good rounds left in him by that stage. He was too slow, the bobbing and weaving was null and void and his training/conditioning erratic. He'd need a time machine and Kevin Rooney to have a hope in this one.

Haha! Well for you Nick, I'd smuggle in iron bolts for both of your gloves. And put Panama Lewis in drag so he could help me work your corner.
