    Fury was trying to box, Chisora and Briedis did better because of aggressive tactics

    Which was his mistake and a weird decision given his natural advantages.

    Absolutely not...Usyk has a great chin, great head movement and feet...He survives the early Tyson barrage and Knocks him out in the later rounds...

    Prime Iron Mike is too quick and powerful for Usyk. Usyk prob beats the one Evander beat though.

    Distinct possibility. Prime Tyson was about as fearsome a physical specimen as any heavyweight in history.

    But.....what if Iron Mike couldn't clip the shifty Ukrainian early and started getting outboxed and frustrated? Tyson, famously, could be a bit fragile mentally.

    Actually, I agree that Tyson would be a bad style match up. But in the reverse, I think Tyson loses to Fury (and maybe Joshua)

    Usyk was already an ATG before this win..............At CW he's top 3 ever. At HW I dunno..............there's a number of HW's I think would have him in Hell

    I don’t think any former cruiserweight can beat Mike Tyson apart from Evan Fields
