    Joe Frazier
    Tyson knocks him out and Frazier Holyfield is an all out war with Frazier stopping him late in my opinion

    Yeah. Tyson had so much trouble with those guys who fought a lot like Larry Holmes such as Carl Williams, Michael Spinks, Pinklon Thomas, and Larry Holmes. Those guys, other than Larry Holmes, would never give Holmes trouble though or be avoided by him.

    Well, the Bert Cooper that gave Holyfield hell, would not have made it past that first round imo.

    I think even that version of Tyson would beat Moorer.

    Tyson didn’t really train or use any technique?

    Tyson's worst night was against some guy who lost to one of his previous opponents and was stylistically the same as several more highly regarded victims of Tyson. Holmes's worst night came against Tyson.

    Golota(maybe), AJ, Klitschko bros, Byrd. There's tons of guys in all honesty, if you were to judge them against common opponents most people would pick Tyson to destroy Holy.
