    Considering we can drain 20lbs no problem now he could. not sayin it would mean he would not be a good HW today just that he could.
    Hell Thai fighters drop 30lbs odd every other fight and they are bones.

    Tyson was a solid rock at 220. Could he cut 20 pounds of water? Sure. I know a MMA guy at my gym that walks around at 215 and fights at 170. With that said, why would he? The Cruiserweight divison is a notoriously unpopular division where guys typically don't make **** for money. Again, prime Tyson has the speed and power to compete with anyone in boxing history regardless of size and the money is at heavyweight. I do believe he always would have struggled with Lewis or even a guy like Fury but he definitely had the power to hurt both.

    True. Same as Wladimir was no Buster. Can go in circles with it. Just opinions.

    Tyson had hugely impressive biceps before prison. He was a tank, including in the arms.

    Hurt? McCall wasn`t that big and Rahman didn`t punch harder than Tyson and neither fighter could finish like Tyson.

    He`s naturally muscular and strong, Fury`s body is flabby he could lose a lot of weight cutting that flab off, his body doesn`t look strong and powerful unless he lifts weights, he`s not more powerful than Mike because his punch technique isn`t as good, a lot of his punches v Wilder landed open handed, Mike got all his weight into his shots and threw less jabs.

    Not sure what your issue is with my comment. Lewis dominated a past prime Tyson. I believe a prime Tyson would perform better but I would still take Lewis. Tyson had the power to hurt anyone but I think Lewis was the superior fighter.
