    Tyson would have landed far more shots on Fury than Wlad did, he was a better body puncher and tyrew more combos, no fighter the age Wlad was v Fury could have beaten a prime Mike. Wilder stays on the line after punching with no head movement, suicide v Tyson who`d counter him to death, his hands were too fast and he would have tyhrown far more power shots than Fury threw in the first clash he had v Wilder, Tyson was far more skilled than Wilder and was great on the inside where Wilder is dreadful.

    He didn`t need too, by the Spinks fight he was awesome then began to slide, who knows how good he could have been if he hadn`t fired Rooney, he wa very small for a heavyweight though, he would have been unbeatable at cruiser, he also would have been the fastest cruiserweight in history since he was so quick at heavyweight and would be lighter at cruiser.

    It's hard for a small HW like Tyson to rule the heavyweight division for along time, what he did in such little time and in such devasting fashion will never be done again.

    A prime Mike Tyson would have beat aging Wlad. But prime Vs prime would have been a good Fight.

    Wlad would have been beaten both mentally and physically.

    He was scarred from the early knockouts and he was dropped 13 times in his career.

    He didn’t like to fight as he was extremely vulnerable.

    Mike would have been far too aggressive for him.

    Schooled him?

    Mike would have beaten Wlad at the pressers and the weigh-in, never mind the fight.

    Wilder could never have timed and knocked out a 5’10 Tyson, with that upper body and head movement. Not a chance. He wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near him. A horrible stylistic match up for Wilder, where his size advantages on paper would quickly have become disadvantages in the ring. Mike would have bobbed and weaved his way inside and demolished him.

    Well we didn't get to see a prime Fury over all of his opponents so not sure why we would just assume a prime Tyson.

    But also the two career paths are completely different so it's so hard to say.

    Tyson had a title shot in his 2nd year as a professional. Fury was his 7th.

    Within 7 years Tyson had unified the division, lost his title and been imprisoned.

    What I do think is had Tyson turned pro when Fury did, he'd have the same level of success because he smokes Wlad and its quite a weak HW era.

    Prime Wlad keeps Tyson at bay with consistent (powerful) combinations, but once he gasses, game over.

    Tyson didn't have the best engine granted, but Wlad was notorious for tiring.

    At the rate Mike fought in his prime he would have gone through Fury's opponents in quick time, it wouldn't have taken him 14 years! remember Tyson had his own issues which hampered his career or do his battles with adversity depression prison etc not equate to Fury's issues in your eyes

    If Mike's first 33 fights were against the same opponents that Fury had, he would clear them out stopping the majority of them including Wladimir Klitshcko and Deontay Wilder.
