    Someone earlier today put De La Hoya in with a prime Tyson. The size difference is too much..

    But what about a Prime Joe Calzaghe?

    Joe is the same height if not taller.
    Joe is faster and has a great chin. Of course Tyson would be a BIG,BIG favorite..

    But if Joe gets passed the 4th round, Tyson just might quit, or foul out.

    What does the forum think:think

    Tyson was never a big Heavy weight. Infact Calzaghe was 2 cm taller than Tyson. So it's not really a David and Goliath scenario.

    If Calzaghe was from the era between 1900-1950 he would just killed Tyson if they met in the ring. Everyone knows that.

    Tyson obviously wins by KO. I don't see the point of this thread.

    Power makes the difference here. If you picked a weaker punching HW and a harder hitting SMW it might be more competitive.

    Spinks would be outclassed by Calzaghe. Michael's best chance is to land a big right hand. Spinks has a puncher's chance at most.

    HE too slow and clumsy too even win more than 4 rounds.

    Calzaghe doesn't have the style to beat Tyson.
