    If Wilder can rock Fury, then a prime Mike with speed and actual boxing skills would definitely do damage

    Opetaia, Breidis, Gassiev seem like good picks at cruiserweight

    They would have to move up to fight Mike Tyson

    Fury would have the best chance because of his huge height and size and the fact when he has to he can clinch and maul opponents and Tyson sometimes had issues when opponents tied him up.

    Outside of Fury I don't see anyone else having a realistic chance.

    Fury would get his arms cranked by Tyson in the clinch and Tyson would have no qualms about punching while holding/cranking Fury's arms and neither would the likes of Mills Lane or Cortez, the only thing Fury would accomplish by tying up Tyson is getting roughed up and reset for Tyson to come back in with bombs

    Usyk wouldn't be able to take a knee fast enough after the 6 before the 4 comes

    Levels, look at the level Tokyo Douglas was performing on, and the work Holyfield had to put in to take the fight out of a past prime Tyson

    AJ and the rest fare a bit worse than Bruno

    Jake Paul already beat Tyson. So there's one.

    In what world was Tyson ever anything but useless in a clinch? That was always the biggest hole in his game. He was lethal at mid-range, good in the pocket, bad when clinched.

    With the right ref, there's a chance that the Fury who fought Wlad could score points at range, tie Tyson up and tire him out any time Tyson closed on him, and win on the cards.

    You should have posted this in general forum.
    According to this forum, Tyson loses to everyone in the Top 15 because they're all so more advanced these days.

    Fury has the best shot, I'm still not picking him to win.
