    It took him 4-5 in the Ruiz/Dubois days. But that Dubois KO weakened him, and the car crash messed him up too. In the Prenga era I think a flush Tyson uppercut in the first 20 seconds leaves him out cold, or falling over as he tries to get up.

    I wish I had the skills to modify this video: "stay down, we need gun, we need gun".

    Any version of Joshua vanishes in front of Mike Tyson .

    There's a good chance this AJ, doesn't even make it to the ring. Spinks' body made it, the rest didn't

    Wow. How about something useful like "stop dropping your hands!"

    This version of Joshua wouldn't make it out of the first round against prime Tyson. Gets sparked by Lennox too in the first round if Lennox feels like it. The punch resistance is completely gone and as shaky as his chin was, it's probably even worse after the accident.

    Lennox was pretty lackadaisical at times. I rewatched the Lewis-Tyson fight recently and it took him until round 8 to finally put down the corpse of Mike Tyson, with his team absolutely pleading with him between every round to stop playing around and just finish him already so he doesn't get potentially caught.

    I think 2 minutes is the right amount of time. I wanted to answer within 60 seconds, but then I thought maybe the mouthpiece might fall off, or Tyson might fall to the ground while he's tying it, and so on. So I'll give it a wide berth and say 2 minutes.
