    Biggest name win for Tyson if he started 1970 at the age of 20?
    I's he practically finished by 1973?
    Or roaring thru the ranks?

    He`d need to be trained by D`Amato to be any good and D`Amato would have to train him from `73 onwards for him to continue having any success from that point on, if that were the case I feel he would have beaten anyone he met except Foreman maybe.

    I love Frazier but Tyson would out gun Frazier. Tyson hits way harder with his right, just as hard with his left, has considerably superior handspeed, is 10 lbs bigger, and Frazier cannot avoid him. Frazier and Tyson meet in the center of the ring where Mike tko's a courageous Frazier early.

    Tyson would be competitive vs a early 70's Ali who had lost some footspeed by now. Still, i think Tyson will get frustrated at his inability to put Ali away. Ali would eventually wear him down and tko him late or win a decision.

    Foreman stops Tyson early. Cus may keep Tyson away from big George.

    Tyson destroys everyone else.

    Answer is Frazier

    I think your right on majority of that Mark. Thing is, have to remember, does Tyson stay focused? He'd have to do here, with Ali, Frazier and Foreman all at their best early 70 s.
    If he could run in to trouble against Douglas, then he's in big trouble facing even the lower tier guys.

    In order to answer this we need to know which version of Tyson shows up.

    I think he`d beat Ali but Ali`s chin was far better than any chin Tyson ever hit.

    Probably Muhammad Ali. If not, then Joe Frazier.

    Well if we take him as tho he's twenty from start of the decade, then he's fighting for the title around 73,round about the Spinks fight. So still in good nick but hedging closer to blowing out.
