    i don't pick any lhw over him. I hope there isn't going to be a Roy Jones parade in this thread, he would get ****ing knocked out

    Archie Moore. He wouldn't be a favorite but he's got a shot. No stranger to bigger men, crafty spoiler, quick all around, and a big right hand that could hurt anyone.

    It is important to note he was distracted going into the Patterson fight and could fair better if he's at his mentally sharpest.

    Tyson beats every Light heavyweight in history, Ezzard Charles gives Mike the best fight out of all of them but would still lose.

    come on teeto roy is way to fast for tyson could you imagine tyson trying to connect with his hooks roy would counter with a flurry and tyson would become frustrated and eventually quit on his stool around the 10th a bloody swollen mess

    There's no way, even for the sake of controversy, to name a lightheavy...any lightheavy that would have even a remote chance against Tyson.

    You mean the one about Jones making Tyson quit? The Sunday comics are more realistic than that one.:D

    Evander Holyfield.

    And I don't think blitzing out a terrifed Spinks who didn't want to be there qualifies Tyson as a LHW killer.

    Tunney stands a chance. Moore and Charles would give him a hell of a fight, win or lose.

    Tyson beats every LHW in history emphatically

    Even I aren't picking Prime Jones over 2002 Tyson

    Moore hasn't beat anyone as fast or skilled as Tyson. The **** case 'distraction' is just an excuse, and not the best 1. Patterson would have always done that to Moore, Tyson would do it quicker, terrible style for Moore

    Not as a lightheavy would Evander beat him. I guess I'm saying that Holy had to mature and blossom out into an authentic heavy..

    Holyfield started out as a lightheavy?
