If Tyson had fought in the 60s and 70s, would he have ever won a world title?

    an old, rusty, out of shape Larry. Larry had like six weeks to prepare for the fight, and had zero tune-up fights. he'd been retired for a couple years. he took the fight because it was too much money to say no to.

    i think a prime Holmes could beat Tokyo Tyson. now, what if they were both prime and in shape? no idea, but it would be a great match.

    tom was a monster punching from mutiple angles able to switch stances good threw wide punches from angles like mike
    was ok in his foot movement

    bowe was great at inside brawling real good and able to punch from distance if needed foot movement wasnt to good

    razor when young showing he had good distance control and able to pick shots good my 2nd fav slugger could punch from distance with good speed when needed

    razor only became easy to read once he was older and only relied on that combo hookcut

    son able to punch while coming forward could punch from distance
    was able to wild punch sometimes overwhelming the person cause of the long reach but a person with good defense that wouldnt work on shown in ali match

    but son was slow not as fast as these others and bad foot movement didnt use circling like young razor and bowe nobody really used the circling around then except ali

    so no son didnt move as good or throw punches as good as these dudes did

    You can’t throw Tyson in 60s and 70s and expect him to be like he was in late 80s.

    he would not be 220lbs bull he was nutrition evolved.

    We actually had Tyson in 60s and 70s and it was Floyd Patterson, maybe with little less power then 190-200 pound Tyson would had in that time.

    I think Tyson at that time would be more in Frazier dimensions.

    Tyson was a sold 200 by like age 13. He's a genetic freak. Old timey nutrition would have been fine.

    you can think he did but the vids I shown shows he didnt so your thinking of him being something he wasnt is odd

    lots of kids uses to play superhero still do believe in santa they think he is real but fact is he isn't

    people think which is odd that louis could beat 70s-90s boxer when he was beat by the people he was beat and stuggled its fact he wouldnt beat those era's for that reason

    so thinking doesn't do you any good when vid proves son didnt move close or have the same speed as the legends I put

    you should probably get glasses or see if you can get some pills if you think you see something thats not there

    Actually I was thinking you yourself should get better glasses and change your meds.

    yes, I think Mike wins a title in most eras.. he was dominant.. The problem with Mike was when he lost he crashed, and if he took a huge beating, could he regroup and win against a guy who he could beat like a Norton, who I think he would stop rather easily.

    Liston would have UD'd him...possibly stopped him.

    He would have beaten Terrell, then lost in the unification to Ali badly.

    He would have knocked Ellis out hard, but lost to Frazier.

    Foreman would have mowed him over, Zaire Ali would have stopped him.

    Norton would have lost, but he would have been stopped late by 1979 Holmes.

    because when Mike lost he really lost big time.. his style was either effective or he was blasted out.. Douglas beat him up.
