How does Billy Conn or Gene Tunney do vs Mike Tyson on June 27 1988

Conn never weighed more than 180 and with multiple losses throughout his career I'm pretty sure Tyson would run over him.

Tunney on the other hand... defense and a great jab could give Mike problems but I see a prime Tyson grinding out a win, maybe a late stoppage.

In '88 Tyson was still a murderous body puncher with a unique style.

 

What do you think

 

Not well. Not strong enough to hold off his speed plus power

 

Ha !

 

Give them Bane’s venom and they might stand a chance

 

I don't know, I'm not sure the fights are healthy choices for the two guys.

 

Tyson too big too powerful & full of roids too

 

IMO, Spinks is the greatest 175lbs fighter of all time H2H. Yes he was injured so I do take that into account, but he did have the injury in previous fights.

I’d have to take Tyson to beat them, most likely within 2. I don’t think they can gain Tyson’s respect, and if you couldn’t gain Tyson’s respect, you’re in big trouble. You couldn’t just stay away, since he was great at closing distance and closing the ring off.

You had to stand up to him at some point, since he’s going to get up close.

 

One thing’s for certain, they would not go into the fight practically pissing themselves in fear, however it ended up.

 

I don't usually comment on cross era fantasy fights, but will say that a prime Tyson would be a nightmare for any LHW. Possibly the fighter most unlikely to be beaten by a LHW, at HW, in history.

 

Mike completes both of them in the tutorial rounds
