Would a prime Mike Tyson be as dominate as he was if he had boxed in the 1970`s?

No.

 

Ali 1970-75: Tyson tko'd by 11
Frazier up to FOTC: Tyson tko'd by 8
Foreman up to Zaire: Tyson ko'd 3
Norton: tko'd by Tyson in 3
Shavers: ko'd by Tyson in a crazy fight where Mike gets rocked first 5 rounds
Lyle: decisioned by Tyson in 10
Quarry: tko'd by Tyson in 6
Holmes 1977-1979: Holmes UD after either 12 or 15, though Holmes nearly gets stopped early on. The rest of the fight would be a cakewalk for Larry, Mike would get very frustrated and swoll up chasing him around and eating the uppercut.

ROGER MAYWEATHER!!!!!! YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

 

Nailed it my man.

 

Dominant.?he would not be even the champion

 

Can't argue with any of this. Spot on.

 

Honestly i think that the only guy that would beat him sure in the 70s would be Foreman. Ali could beat him sure but he was not in his prime in the 70s he was more static and i can see a peak Tyson beating him by decision too. Frazier is an enigma it depends how Frazier takes his power early,i think that Tyson has stylistical advantage, he is the faster starter and tremendous finisher,of course if Frazier passes of the round 5 it is bad news for Tyson. I see Tyson stopping prime Holmes prime for prime but if we are talking about the real line of the time then sooner or later Tyson would lose maybe an upset from a fighter not expected like lyle,Foreman stops him at any stage and Holmes maybe beats his equivalent to the 1990 version of Mike.
Norton would get destroyed and he would want no part of a rematch.
If he wins the belt it would be a very short reign. He would be a white shark swimming in orca's waters

 

No. I think Ali from about 74 or earlier probably still had enough left to beat him, peak Foreman is more likely to be the last man standing at the end of two rounds, and I'd bey very curious to see how it would play out with Joe Frazier. All I'm sure of is that that one could go in two very different directions, and the reputations of both guys would be considerably altered if we could just run the damn experiment.

Tyson probably blows out Quarry, Norton, old Patterson, Mac Foster, Jimmy Ellis, Jack O'Halloran, Earnie Shavers, Buster Mathis senior and Jimmy Young.
I think Lyle would do a little better than Bruno, hurting Tyson with a good shot or two if he's too reckless, forcing him to back off a bit, but still getting KO'd before round 6.

I think he most likely loses to Holmes if he fights him in '78 or '79, and murders Leon Spinks.

 

Did Joe Frazier dominate some time-frame of the 70s? If your answer is yes, you can add Tyson for that short period of time.
To be successful against 70s George, Ali and Holmes you´d better send in a hypothetical version of Lewis, Wlad, Fury, or something like that. Because there wasn´t anyone who dominated that time alone.

 

Tyson would've absolutely dominated the '70s scene and may have gone undefeated. I honestly don't see why people think Foreman would have beaten Tyson. Foreman was a slugger with very little fluidity or timing, and he had NO defense. If Ron Lyle's punches bothered him, Tyson's would've had him reeling.
