    Jack picked Tyson to beat Spinks in 1988. How do you fancy prime Sharkey against the Tyson of June 27, 1988?

    Tyson would be too much for Sharkey imo. Too much speed,intense pressure,power , I don't think Jack gets past the half way mark,and that's being generous .

    Sharkey would have lost to the Spinks of June 27, 1988.

    This fight would be so one sided it makes the Spinks fight look competitive!
    Tyson by 65 second ko..

    Mike would have also steamrolled carnera and sharkey in the same night, he just overshadows them in too many areas for this to look competitive in my opinion

    Wills was pretty shot.

    What were his last good wins, Firpo two years before, and Norfolk four years before?

    Sharkey would have given Tyson a better fight than people think.

    When his head was screwed on straight (never a given), he was basically good at everything, and had something to give anybody fits!

    Tyson would ultimately prevail, but it could get interesting!
