    Tyson was tiny and was dominated by any real fighter he ever fought. From this list, definitely Foreman. All time it would be Wlad.

    99% of heavyweights would have been KO'd doing the rope-a-dope against Foreman.

    It depends on which ones are fast runners...

    Whilst Foreman is probably packing the most hurtful punches, he's a little slow so many could probably convince themselves they could maintain a safe distance at least until their nerves settled. With Tyson's speed\combinations you'd know that not only will his punches hurt\finish you but you probably won't see them coming. Even later in his career his low jab\overhand right combo caught a lot of guys. That's what I'd be thinking about with Tyson.

    If I met Tyson in the ring staring at me from the opposite side I would probably knock out one of the ring girls, rip off her tight clothes. Put them on and hold up a card pretending I was a hot piece of ass and vacate the ring.
