    Let's say that none of Mike Tyson's opponents utilized any type of holding/tying up /clinching. Which, if any, of these fighters he faced could make it out of the opening round?

    I know Holyfield would. He's never gonna be blown away in one.

    Think you forget that Tyson welcomed clinches as much as anyone...

    Buster Douglas kicked Tyson's ass in round 1 so he's a cert.

    Lots of fighter couldn't survive RD1 (It's a very impressive and long list:
    Marvis Frazier,Spinks,Carl williams,Stewart,Tillman,Seldon,Savarese,Etienne
    etc.) A **** version Tyson could win the first round against the Steward pet
    prime Lewis who used this coward tactic against a total shot Tyson.
    Practically Lewis survived nothing the referee didn't disq. Lewis.
