    I don't think anyone could do it except for maybe Foreman due to a bad style match up (for Tyson) and the fact that he also was naturally very good, powerful and kinda developed from a very young age. That's a big maybe though.

    I think all the other greats would be whether too green at this age or incapable of beating this version of Tyson anyway.

    What about 14 years old.

    14 year old Nazeem Hamed ("I was fighting 3 kids in the school yard at the same time") vs. 14 year old Mike Tyson. Who takes it?

    The 14 year old Tyson probably beats The Prince and the three others at the same time. He'd sure have Hamad's lunch money any day he wanted it :lol:

    There is only one answer to this question and that is "Floyd Patterson" He is the only one who would have a chance.
