    I think a prime Trinidad or DLH would tear right thru LW-SMW.
    Oscar was a G before he became who he is today. Trinidad....he was a banger from the jump.

    SRL would likely rule the roost too, but he could get into a bad fight now and then and I couldnt see him steamrolling guys like a prime Oscar or Tito would.:think

    Good job on the Khan ****. Seriously

    Other then Paul Williams pictures which was distasteful

    But honestly we both konw a lot of Khan Haters are hating cuz they are Floyd Fans that got all butt hurt their Idol God...... was linked to Khan


    Floyd Fans are just as bad as Klittards and *******s :lol::lol:

    just their racism is 'veiled better' compare to the other two brackets

    Everyone has their favourites, and lord knows Tyson isn't really one of mine, but only someone blinkered, biased or very young would chose to bring anyone else back. He electrified the sport like no other fighter before or since, arguably.

    No way he will be cash cow.

    Not if there is a Prime Oscar...


    Or Prime Tyson at HW.

    But he still might be regarded as p4p #1 or #2.

    Just that nobody will give a ****

    Out of everybody on that list


    if you bring their prime versions to today's

    media environment

    A lot of them will be a lot more marketable then they were.


    Look at David Haye and the media frenzy he cost in England.

    Yes a lot of that have to do with personality

    but in today's media era, a Prime Lennox with those skills will win over half of England. If he fought under the flag from the start.



    A Prime Tyson will get villianfied 100x worst then Floyd can ever dream of

    I voted RJJ cause I'm tired of seeing him get punished and Ko'ed, but boxing today needs asome good HW fighters. So Tyson would be the fighter on the list boxing needs. Prime Tyson destroys both Klits bros.
