    I think he had the best chance vs Jones, but I don't think he'd beat any. Like Morlocks says, this version of Tyson was too far gone to put in top matchups.

    I agree, these threads are getting bloody ridiculous.

    Tyson still had the power in 2003 to KO any of these guys, question is would he able to land enough on them to get the KO ??
    He loses to Byrd and Toney they'd both outbox and frustrate him.
    Ruiz and Peter - I'll go against the consensus and say Mike has an excellent chance against both, slow come forward fighters that are easy to hit are made to order even against a badly faded Tyson.
    Rahman and Brewster are 50/50's.
    Roy get's KO'ed by the first solid punch Tyson lands and he will land at some point.

    He loses to all of them Etienne could have beaten Tyson if he had the confidence.

    Not sure if you remember the Williams fight correctly because the power was still clearly there, he almost did KO Danny Williams before injuring his leg and the McBride fight was in 2005 by that point Tyson was so shot that even his punch power seemed to have faded.

    I see Tyson loosing to everyone listed... except for Brewster. I think he has a good shot against Brewster.

    I see your point bro..he looked blistering for 2 rounds...but tyson never hit someone so much & they didnt go down....he hit mcbride a lot too....i dont think their size had a lot to do with it i still think tysons power was leaving him at that stage
