    He KOs Wilder with ease, has Wilder soiling his undies coming into the ring, then running like a deer in the headlights trying to stay away from Tyson before getting clipped with a hook or OHR and flopping spasmodically to the canvas. First or second round KO.

    He KOs Joshua with relative ease, has Joshua backtracking trying to keep him at the end of his jab, then starts banging to his body and head and generally roughing him up in the clinches before finishing him off in the third or fourth.

    He smashes Ruiz up, beating him to the punch and savaging him in close. Ruiz's chin and heart keeps him in there, but he starts taking a horrendous beating and gets waved off after hitting the canvas multiple times in the sixth or seventh.

    He has problems with Fury, keeps getting turned or tied up as he tries to bob his way in and finds his lack of size problematic in the clinch. Eventually starts to get frustrated and trying to rabbit punch or hip punch Fury. Fury gets complacent and gets dropped by a glancing hook but gets to his feet and spoils out the rest of the fight. UD for Fury.

    Joshua knocked Ruiz down with a clean shot. Tyson had a hell of a chin, was never knocked down with 1 shot. Lewis who is as big and hard a puncher as Joshua has to break down an old washed up Tyson, and in the first round when Tyson was 60% of what he originally was, beat Lewis in the round.

    Joshua couldn’t outbox or knock Tyson out with 1 punch. Joshua and wilder after Ruiz would be the easiest fight. Fury would give Tyson problems.

    Deontay is so technically inept I wouldn’t be surprised if Tyson could beat him in his first pro fight aged 18.

    Prime Tyson beats them all, with only Fury having a realistic chance imo.

    Tyson was sparring Carl Williams and Frank Bruno when he was a teenager. He was more than ready to take on establised pros as soon as he turned professional.

    Tyson had some trouble with Bruno and Ruddock, neither of whom was great technically. Bonecrusher also went the distance and he was not a good fighter technically.

    Wilder has a lot of heart and isn't afraid to throw when opponents rush in. He'd have his moments and make it rough but probably get broken down.

    None of those guys have a inside game or defense. They all prefer distance to punch. A prime tyson would be relentless getting inside and destroying all of them. Brutal ko's. And people would still say he never fought nobody. When on reality he just made them look like nobody

    I think Tyson Fury might well have the smarts and skills and heart to beat Mike Tyson. Fury has the tools.
    I'd lean towards Mike Tyson knocking Deontay Wilder out in brutal fashion ...... but Wilder has a chance as well. Razor Ruddock gave Tyson a tough couple of fights and he was fighting like a lesser version of Wilder at that time, so who knows.
    Tyson would wipe the floor with Joshua.

    do you think Ruddock was a lesser fighter than Wilder? I'm not sure about that, Ruddock was tough as nails against Tyson and landing punches lesser fighters would have crumbled under, Wilder would have gone down thats for sure. He wasn't great in the boxing stakes when he started relying on his power, but still better than Wilder I think, he landed power with more frequency.

    Are Tony Tucker, Mitch Green, Boncrusher Smith and Buster Douglas all that much better than the big 4 today?? All of those guys are tall/big dudes who were able to go the distance(or in Busters case KO him) with the mythical legend that Mike has become. To say all 4 current guys are sure fire highlight reel KO’s for Tyson is absurd, imo.

    Yes, I do believe what I stated because unlike others around here, I'm not a brainwashed deluded fool who falls for hypes and hype-jobs.

    It might come as a SERIOUS SHOCK to many around here, but Mike Tyson was far from as good as many seem to think he was. He was an utter hype-job. It's somehow acceptable for Mike Tyson to get embarrassed by a feather-fisted and a glass-jawed Buster Douglas with multiple knockout losses, but apparently not acceptable for Anthony Joshua to lose to a far superior Andy Ruiz Jr?

    People seem to ignore all of Mike Tyson's shortcomings and failures when evaluating him. Andy Ruiz Jr > Buster Douglas and if Mike Tyson can lose to Douglas, then he is surely losing to the likes of Joshua and Ruiz Jr.
