    This. Mike trained like a maniac to get down to 215-220, so he’d be drained and weak like Oscar was when he fought PAC or Dawson was when he fought Ward.

    Take him off the steps, dehydrate him and I reckon he could make 175 lbs, it probably sounds ridiculous obviously not now, I mean back in the late 80s early 90s

    Nobody is dehydrating 40lbs when they're already as lean as Tyson. Even the biggest weight bully in boxing, Anthony Yarde, is only dehydrating from 195-200. Tyson would have no chance of making 175 unless he took a long time off and lost some muscle mass

    This fight looks like the Spinks vs Tyson match in 1988, but ends much sooner, KO 1 for Iron Mike.

    The prefight stare out would be the most competitive part of the matchup.

    Bad fight for Tommy. He would be backing up and Mike trying to land anything so Tommy only chance is a well placed right before he is stopped. It is not a good style fight.

    Maybe that's why Tommy fancied it. Which limb would Mike have to have removed to make 14 stone ??!

    Tyson would look like he had AIDS at 175 pounds. He's just meant to be a bigger guy.

    What happened to that guy? He’s like he’s disappeared off the face of the earth.
