    22. XI 1986. that's the starting point - Tyson defeats Berbick and becomes the youngest champion in HW history.
    Furthermore, until December 31, 1989, Tyson defended his title(s) against:
    Trevor Berbick
    Pinklon Thomas
    Tim Witherspoon
    Tony Tucker
    Mike Weaver
    Michael Dockes
    Gerry Coetzee
    Greg Page
    Tony Tubbs
    James Smith
    (John Tate)
    John Tate take optional consideration; you can but you don't have to :)
    Many of these fights actually happened, but imagine if HW history happened like this instead of Tyson fighting: Spinks, Holmes, Bruno, Biggs, and Williams.
    Would Tyson have passed through the "lost generation of the 80s" undefeated?

    Yes I can see him beating them all.
    Liked to have seen him fight Witherspoon and perhaps Dokes, possibly interesting fights.
