    I don't think Baer had the heart or skill to stand up to Tyson. Tyson TKO 4.

    Tyson by brutal KO or wide UD. It would look like the Ruddock fights.

    It could be interesting while it lasted. Baer could punch like Bruno and take it like Ruddock and if he catches Tyson coming in he could hurt him.

    Ultimately Tyson would just have too many tools but it could be interesting.

    I think it would be over pretty quickly. Max was to predictably to land on Tyson, but pretty wide open himself. Maybe his chin would take him through the first couple of rounds, but I doubt it.

    This is exactly what I was thinking. I say Tyson would end it a round earlier though.

    Tyson KO 3 Baer

    Baer was a tough cookie and would fight like hell though. It would be fun while it lasted.

    Different era's..
    I think maybe Jesse ferguson would have wiped the mat with Baer.
    (Not saying they were not great, just a diff era)
    (I also think Michael Jordan scores 100pts a night on the 60's Celtics)

    Bottomline would be Mike's Speed & Power.
    something that era would not be ready for.
    Tyson had Louis Power
    Tyson had Dempsy Movement
    Tyson of 19/20yrs would be the fastest fighter in that era easy.

    Tyson vs. Baer would be like Louis vs. Baer. This wouldn't go the distance.
