If size, reach and weight mean nothing, could prime DLH beat prime Tyson?

    There is absolutely doubt whether or not ODLH was more "skilled" than a young Tyson. Mike is one of the most skilled and tuned fighters in the divisions and even sports history. His style, and his post prison career is grossly misleading for people to write him off as some brawler/bully.

    To answer the threads question, Tyson would win. Mosley moved up in weight and beat a prime Delahoya with explosive combinations and speed. Tyson was more explosive and very close to as fast, with more killer instinct and much better head movement and defense. Tyson by KO.

    A better debate would be if Rigo could beat Rios. And I think he would own him.

    You are a f/n idiot.

    Chris Byrd made his pro debut at a starved 169 then 171. His 3rd and 4th fights were at CW, before he grew into his frame as a HW.


    Quit pretending like he was some Michael Spinks MW who fought his entire career less than 175 before moving up to dominate an ATG Larry Holmes.

    This is not the case with Byrd who spent almost his entire career at HW and lost 9 of 10 rds against a one armed Vitali Klitschko.:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    Mike Tyson is far more skilled than Oscar De La Hoya has ever been. P4P Mike Tyson is way better than ODLH.
