    The best version of Tyson vs the giant that is Anthony Joshua.

    Tyson not even close, AJ sure as hell isn't making it 12 and losing by decision like Bonecrusher, there's a good chance it could be another 1st round KO for the dynamite

    It’d be a fun one - AJ would lose but I’d really want to tune in for it. It’s unlikely Joshua makes it past the 4th if he goes out looking for the KO.

    A repeat of Mike Tyson vs Frank Bruno.

    AJ makes it past round one. Bruno did, Ruddock did, Berbick did.

    I went with Tyson by KO. Anthony Joshua’s fighting style and shaky chin would be something that Tyson could take advantage of. Joshua is a seemingly nice guy. Had a great amateur career. Has a lot of physical tools. And good for him for becoming a champion. But at the end of the day I just don’t think he’s that good in comparison to the greats of the sport. No intended knock on him

    Agree. I wouldn’t predict a walk in the park for Tyson. But a KO at some point either by or before the mid rounds seems likely to me

    AJs chin is none existent. Mental stability, in my opinion, has never been good. Mentally beaten before the bell and physically sleeped inside 4.

    I like AJ a lot but he doesn’t stand a chance. I rewatched his fight with Povetkin recently and saw how much AJ struggled with an explosive left hook coming from a shorter opponent. I can’t see AJ taking too many from Tyson.

    AJ is built to be destroyed by Tyson. Tyson in 2-4.

    Tyson fairly quickly. Possible that AJ shakes him a bit prior to being stopped a la Frank Bruno.

    1st or second round Tyson KO. Tyson too fast and aggressive. I also believe AJ would already be mentally shook before the fight even began a la Michael Spinks

    AJ is beginning to get underrated and is quite skillful, but I do not see him surviving Iron Mike.
