If Mike Tyson had a growth spurt at age 18 and grew at 6'2 Could a 6'2 tall 1988 Mike Tyson beat prime George Foreman in a boxing match? How well would this Mike tyson do against Prime Muhammad Ali?
His style existed to help smaller boxers overcome the size difference. Taking that away from him would probably force him to readjust his style entirely or revert to a more fundamental one. Either way not a good thing to do before a battle with another ATG.
A 6-2 Tyson would be completely different in style than a 5-10. Even if he employed the Peek a Boo style he’d resemble Jose Torres. A bit like George Foreman being 5-10 and fighting long range. Just can’t picture it.
5'10 Tyson made himself smaller. He loses leverage on his shots too. 5'10 Tyson better chance of beating Foreman, which wouldn't happen anyway. I Bonecrusher Smith took him 12, Foreman knocks him late
MT's height has always been a bit of a mystery. I recall he was billed at 5'11" and a half in the 80s when fighting Bruno, then 5'11" or 180cm. Now now its mostly 178cm which is just above 5'10". I suppose with the higher boxing shoes on he was nearly 6'.
A 6’2 Mike Tyson wouldn’t in any way resemble the guy who we actually saw. So it’s a question that we can’t answer. You’d just be looking at a completely different fighter. Completely different style altogether.
