    This era would be easily dominated by Tyson.
    This is the same era that had David Haye as a major title holder. An era where half of the top ten are fat slobs.

    #1 Mike Tyson
    #2 Wlad
    #3 Vitali
    #4 Haye
    #5Adamek

    Helenius was nearly dropped by a slow fat old Journeyman named Sherman Williams who is only 5'10"

    This journeyman told newspapers that he would hit Helenius with an overhand right punch for a month before the fight. You would think Helenius would be careful not to be caught with this shot but instead he took it flush on the chin and had to hold on to avoid falling.

    Tyson TKO4 Helenius

    Well I was only using that as an example. But anyway the fight with Sanders was an exhibition.

    Tyson struggled with Europeans? Taking one good shot from Bruno is struggling? lol
    He KO'd Bruno twice.

    Williams,Tyson was 11 years away from his prime

    Lewis,10 years away from prime

    Mcbride,tyson's last fight! 12 years away from prime. Bad troll attempt

    Tyson's defence is good but overrated, he was hit cleanly by lesser contenders.

    Yes, The prime Tyson who...

    could not stop James Tillis and got a 10 round UD

    could not stop Mitch Green and got a 10 round UD

    could not stop James Smith and got a 12 round UD

    could not stop Tony Tucker and got a 12 round UD


    But he would win via KO inside 3 rounds against all of todays top 10.

    Yeah, right:yep

    Very good points raised.
    With that in mind, it would be difficult to imagine Tyson just blazing through the top 10 with ease.
    I wouldnt be shocked if he and Haye rocked each other in a classic, but wonder if Hayes footwork would carry him to a close decision in a HW classic

    Dont be silly.
    Do you forget that Bowe threw away his title?
    Lewis was chasing Holyfield and Tyson also, also you forget that Lewis is also of a similar age.

    We're talking 6'7" - 6'8" HWs here now and even though Tyson may have been past his best when he fought McBride, you saw that the size difference played a huge part

    Look lads, theres no trolling round here, just a boxing debate. Obviously with you guys, when you see something that you cant agree with, you call it trolling, which is pathetic.
    I think tyson would look better against some common opponents than some of the fighters on the list, but beating them would be another scenario which could be completely different
