    Mike Tyson lb for lb and age, if you froze him in time when he became champ, and every other fighter in history had to be as good as Tyson was at that age or bust, no one would ever be better. I think there was a point in Mike Tysons career where if you measure him against every other fighter ever at the same age, he is bar none the best.

    Tyson for three reasons.

    1) As go the heavies, so goes boxing. Boxing needs a Mike Tyson heavy right now.

    2) We saw the best of Sugar Ray. We did not see the best Tyson could have given us.

    3) No one was more fun to watch than Tyson.

    SRL would have to deal with the ducking welterweight division with ease.

    Tyson vs the guy named after him would b a fun build up and interesting fight. He's stopping Wilder with a bodyshot after weaving thru his telegraphed punches I c. Everyone else is getting their **** pushed in far worse but honestly not much fighters would want smoke w a prime Mike.


    Would b fun albeit slaughters. Save em for a titantron in his next fights.

    Leonard is a no from me and we from the same state. Spence n Crawford aint beating him but they can't even fight each other so I wouldn't bet on SRL facing them either.

    SRL basically laid the blueprint for stacking the deck for the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Canelo.

    Tyson would atleast bring popularity and excitement back to boxing.
