    So instead of fighting Ruddock in 91, a prime and peak Max Baer is sent forward in time to fight Tyson. Could Max do what Ruddock couldn't?

    Does Baer get a few years to adjust to the anabolics usage of the 90s

    Baer wakes up and thinks it's time for school. Where's mummy with the hot cup of tea?

    Tyson would be a too fast for Baer.

    Are you saying Tyson knocks him out?

    Tyson had all but neglected his head movement by this point. He'd also started throwing significantly less combos, and increasingly single shots, becoming a much more stationary and predictable fighter than he was in his '88 rendition. A good fighter could've easily exploited this.

    Tyson by brutal KO.

    In all of Tyson’s losses he too round after round of punishment. Baer too wild to keep landing. Tyson still too skilled and fast with his punches not to counter Baer and flatten him. Baer may get up but Mike’s punches eventually get to Baer if Mike doesn’t land a one punch knockout. Whichever way it happens Tyson wins. In the first 5 rounds. Probably a Botha like punch.

    I'm saying that Baer gets concussion and wonders why there are 5000 people inside his bedroom yelling and shining lights at him.

    I think Baer has pretty poor skills at best and relied on his physicality to dominate his opponents. I think Tyson is not only stronger, faster and meaner but that his technique is levels above Baer's.

    I honestly think it would take an EXTREMELY POOR version of Tyson to lose to Max Baer. Like maybe the one who fought Roy Jones in an exhibition

    Remember...If Tyson doesn't get his man out of there by the 6th round...he becomes a totally different fighter...he gets discouraged...
