    Tyson would be a midget in the ring against the giant, would he be able to land enough to even beat him on points??

    He would beat the ever living Jesus outta that giant bum and force a stoppage pretty quickly.

    Which 7 foot 300 pound fighter has Tyson ever fought that makes you come to that conclusion?

    Nah, he'd be punching air all night. Valuev is too slick.

    He's too tall, Tyson's charges would be met by a bear hug. Tyson would be coughing fur ***** up from the Giants belly hair...

    Reading between the lines there, good thinking.... It would be Tyson with his T-Rex arms against Valuev with a reach like Dhalsim off Street Fighter...

    YES! I have little doubt that he would stop the giant.

    A 46 year old Holyfield was robbed of the decision vs. Valuev.

    Valuev kinda sucked despite his win loss record, let's not revise history people.

    Valuev? Is that the ATG fighter or the giant oaf that donned gloves? Some people on this forum are so size obsessed they just don't understand the concept that skill, power and speed trump size any day of the week. Just watch Tyson demolishing Sammy Scaff to get an idea of what he would do to Valuev in his prime. Tyson would use him for target practice!

    Holyfield was a good 4-5 inch taller than Tyson with a 7 inch reach advantage....

    Tyson was closer in height and weight to Scaff than Scaff was to Valuev, your example is way off mark I'm afraid....
