Who gives prime M Tyson the harder fight?

Well all three are better than Buster Douglas

So at least one of them would smash the overrated Mike.

I think Joshua

 

I think Mike beats them all. Whilst we can argue that all three are better than Douglas, the Douglas that beat Tyson likely beats all of them. The Tua and Ike fights are fights that really excite me, but I think Mike prevails like he did against Ruddock. These guys can't hurt prime Mike and on his best night he had the engine to tear them up. Aj I think gets knocked cold within 8 rounds. A bit like the first Bruno fight but AJ doesn't finish upright...

 

Ibeabuchi but Tua is Close.
Tua never lost by knockout; I think he was only knocked down once in his career?
So he would lose on points but survive.

Joshua gets knocked out in 3 rounds or even faster.

 

Is it that time of the year that everyone comes out of the woodwork to massively over-estimate Ike?

It would be Tua, btw.

 

Gut says Joshua. Ike had limited fundamentals and was easy to hit. Tua wouldn’t like dealing with Mike’s angles. Joshua kind of had a Bruno and Douglas hybrid thing going, and showed more heart than Tua and Ike.

 

If we are talking about the best versions of each, then they all have a chance. Ike was a machine, and if he didn't derail his career because of his mental health issues, he could've beaten the best of the era. The fact is, he never, and the same applies to Tyson. Nobody truly knows because they both harpooned their primes with their behaviour and lifestyle outside of the ring.

Tyson's best win, albeit a terrific win, was against Spinks, a career LHW, and as soon as he fought guys that weren't afraid of his aura, he struggled. Buster Douglas was the first to adopt this method, and we later saw it with Holyfield and Lennox, too. There's nothing to suggest Ike would've entered a Tyson bout with any fear, so yes, he could've won, prime for prime.

Tua fought incredibly conservatively against Lennox, so if he did the same against Tyson, then he would lose. Joshua has one punch KO power that would've definitely had Tyson in trouble if it landed, but I'd say out of the 3, Joshua would be the easier fight for Tyson, and he would probably stop him in the same way he stopped Bruno.

 

He KO's Joshua in a few rounds if Joshua tries to fight and wins a clear UD if Joshua runs.
He also KO's Tua cause Tua would be dumb enough to try to tusle with Mike.
I'd say Ike gives him the hardest fight since he's the more all rounded boxer. But Mike wins a clear UD.

 

Tua IMO. He has the chin to make it the full 12 and also the power to match.

 

Quite possibly Ike Ibeabuchi. He had a combination of the right sort of tools to do it. With that said I wouldn’t consider Tua or Joshua to be easy fights either

 

Hey, I don't see any of 'em losing. Including Tyson.

 

Yeah,three draws seems about right.

 

Holmes swears up and down that he was going to KO him with an uppercut, but it got caught in the ropes

 

Buster's jab and footwork were better than AJ's, but AJ's power and right hand would definitely pose more of a threat to Tyson.

AJ's psychological issues are well known, so he might as well be mentally defeated before the bell rings.

 

Ibeabuchi. Iron chin, great inside fighter.

Tua loses in a less competitive but exciting fight

Joshua gets ran through in a similar fashion to Dubois, he doesn't dictate range like Lewis with that multifaceted lead hand nor does he have the iq, the mentality, or the inside fighting skills to handle that pressure and power

 

Holmes is hilarious. Let's just forget he was alredy on jelly legs, and that the potential uppercut he threw looked like a slow windmill at best.

To use Holmes' favorite expression: Goodnight Irene, lol.
