1988 Mike Tyson vs Anthony Joshua

Celebheights, where they argue over peoples heights over every last millimeter despite having never met them?

 

I don't know what to tell you, maybe we can ask this guy?

So he's only a little taller than another short HW?

 

With tysons movement bobbing and weaving to get inside with that explosive power, and aj not being hard to hit....
that lunging hook sleeps aj pretty quickly in tyson's prime.

Plain and simple.

 

Well the website that linked me through to that pegs him at 185cm, but I didn't want to say anything.

I'll throw you a bone. The smoking gun you are looking for is Joey Dawejko. 178cm just like Tyson. He allegedly concussed Joshua in sparring in the lead up to the Ruiz Jr. fight, which some fans were adamant was the reason for Joshua's loss.

But these are just rumours. And sparring isn't fighting. Plus I think it's kind of wrong to take away from the achievement of Andy Ruiz Jr.

But, if Joey Dawejko did indeed manage to KO Joshua, and that's a big IF. Then I'll concede that Mike has a better chance of a KO than I currently credit him with.

 

He didn't want to know when the ref asked him to walk forward.

Some fighters you are going to have to nail them to the floor to stop them from wanting to fight

 

Tyson would fold AJ up like a piece paper inside 5 rounds.

 

Mike Tyson is the worst opponent AJ could ever fight.

AJ has struggled with all the shorter guys he has fought. Takam and Ruiz in particular.

Mike would put him out in the first two rounds.

I rate AJ, but Mike Tyson is the worst thing that could happen to him.

 

Lmfao this thread still makes me laugh

 

I miss eltirado

 

aka Tyson vs Bruno 3

 

New AJ version could give more troubles to Tyson. But I still think Tyson got this one.

55:45 Michael Tyson KO

 

Tyson KO2

The only reason I would predict 2 rounds instead of 1 is because Mike is now 57 years old and hasn’t fought in 19 years.

 

Tyson 88 destroys AJ. Just too fearless and quick.

Tyson 2002 is not explosive enough, but it will be close. If AJ has the right tactics, he wins by decision.

 

By 2002 there was nothing left of Tyson. He didn't even care to train before hopping into fights. AJ destroys him similarly to Wlad destroying old fat Mercer. Both of the worn out, well past it fat guys showed up for the check.
