    He'd have had some great scraps with Dennis Rodman, Shaquille O'Neal and Anthony Mason in the NBA

    I think 6'2" would be his optimum height.


    He could maintain his balance, speed, head movement, and style. After that he would have changed much of what made him what he was...

    I liked Tyson because of his movement style the excitement he brought to the ring.
    Loved watching Lennox too but tall fighters for me don`t excite like the crouching smaller heavy weight fighters.
    Maybe its just me but I doubt i`d of been spell bound mesmorised excited by Mike if he`d been built different.
    No one got the hairs standing on the back of your neck like Tyson so I wouldnt of wanted to change him at all.

    He would suck.

    He does not have the talent to carry a body like Lewis or Wlad.

    Most of tysons biggest wins came because of the leverage created with a fighter who's 5'10 with this short powerful arms of his, if he was built like a klitschko, he would lose that leverage

    Personally, I think he would be worse, because he probably wouldn't be able to retain the speed and movement. He might be more of a safety first fighter, with an extended reach.

    Leverage?

    Leverage (or lack thereof) was one of Tyson's biggest problems being the size he was.
