Mike Tyson vs Usyk

Usyk’s beat him convincingly twice already

 

50/50 for Mike
as for fury we already know the result, but both fights were close enough I hope makhmudov beats him so we dont see a boring trilogy

 

Styles make fights situation.

The style Usyk had the most trouble with at heavyweight was a pressure fighter with volume. Whereas Mike generally enjoyed facing the slicker heavyweights. Plus Usyk in terms of size is at the top of the range Mike made mincemeat out of.
It is what it is, but Usyk would take the loss every time.

Having said that, I don't give Mike much of a chance against Fury, just too darn big.

Fury v Usyk in their primes is still a 50-50 for me. But in the same way people like to discuss what would have happened if prime Mike fought prime Lennox... And just like that, it is academic because they actually fought, and Usyk won, twice

 

Usyk beats him.

 

Mike Tyson at his best was less a pressure fighter and more a mid range defensive counter puncher.

He'd slip punches getting on the inside and throw back. While timing beats speed I believe it would be Usyk's toughest fight as Tyson had a solid chin, incredibly fast hands, power and was compact at 5'10".

Tyson had a hard time against those who were physical and could push him back or make him fall off balance, which is not Usyk's style.

Add to that his vicious body work in his prime and I see it as 50/50 maybe 60/40 Tyson.

 

Tyson's hook to the body, followed immediately by the uppercut on the inside, would be pretty effective, I think.

But getting Usyk to the ropes and covering up might be difficult.

 

Prime Mike one shot to the body and then uppercut and it’s lights out for Usyk

 

Tyson in a tough one.

 

Awful stylistic fight for Usyk.

 

I think Usyk could beat Tyson, we know he's got a great chin, height and reach in his favor and he wouldn't be intimidated by Mike.
That said Mikes speed would be the fastest Usyk had ever seen, could he catch up to Usyk.
Would have been a fascinating fight

 

Not at all.

 

Height and reach wouldn’t be an advantage.

It wouldn’t be a chess match.

I love Usyk.

I think he’s a genius.

You could rank him higher than Mike.

But in a H2H match up?

Usyk has nothing for Mike.

Mike would suffocate him.

Usyk has got nothing to keep him off.
