    Doesn't have to be from the poll, I just added some fairly vulnerable names from boxrec top50-100 for scientific interest.

    If those are all active heavyweights who've won pro fights within the last couple of years then he obviously wouldn't have a prayer against any of them.

    I suppose it might be possible to make a halfway decent match with a currently active say welterweight or something, Tyson would have a chance to nail the smaller man within the first couple of rounds [after that, no chance].

    Could maywather survive 3 rounds? Would that be big ppv at this time?

    If marketed right could it reach 5 million ppv?

    Couldn't whittle it down to just two from the poll; he'd beat several of those. I'd hesitate on Kyotaro.

    Tyson is probably in better shape now than he was for that fight.
