    Mike is doing good. He is older, calmed down. He doesn't seem like he needs his ego stroked. In reality Tyson was just being gracious. That is maturity. Plus he is high. He don't care about Joshua. He just want to know what's to eat.

    Mike Tyson in his prime was a wrecking machine. I don't think AJ's chin holds up. That being said AJ's size could cause MT some problems but prime Tyson should be able to get inside.

    Joshua is somebody who can go one of two ways right now.

    He is consistently doing quality work, but a single embarrassing loss, could significantly downgrade him in hypothetical head to head matches.

    If he keeps winning, then he can still go very high in the historical rankings.

    What's the rush, let's wait and see!

    Simple if he beats Wilder, Fury or Usyk we will know he`s real quality until he does he`ll just be pretty good as far as I`m concerned.

    If a guy is unifying multiple belts, then he is better than pretty good.

    Beyond that observation, I agree with your assessment.

    He'll have the blinders on trying to go the distance.

    I think Mike is trying to project this warm and cuddly image for showbiz purposes. I'm sure deep down, savage Mike thinks he would blow out Joshua in 1 or 2:lupie:

    I think Tyson proved how disadvantaged he was against super heavyweights in the Lewis fight. That said, the man who ruined Spinks was a savage monster with a ton of bad intentions...

    You spelled "disingenuous" wrong.

    What about all the fighters that went past the second round with Mike? AJ is far better than most of those fighters and has a better reach than most fighters Tyson fought.

    Lewis wouldn`t have stopped Spinks in a round either and maybe AJ couldn`t.

    Joshua would be The one most troubling opponent for M.Tyson , but he would need multiple shorter guys to get used to the under 6 ft. Fighter.

    AJ wouldn't be the most difficult to get to bc both are aggressive but that also brings Tyson in danger. We've only seen AJ fight Povetkin the closest one resembled him who he knocked out and Ruiz is a short aggressive types with speed and power but he's no Tyson, so these fights will tell us a lot.
