    Sure. Logical and objective comparisons of one fighter beating a shot rendering of the same man that the other decisioned almost a decade earlier. Real analysis:good

    You ake the second Schmeling fight for how this one would turn out? Sorry but that's the least likely outcome. No fighter ever had so much pressure and mental abuse for a fight than Schmeling before this. Put that **** on Tyson and he wouldn't even made it in the ring.

    I would be shocked if any of the match ups went past the 4th round. Tyson by Ko in all the match ups.

    I think Walcott has the best chance out of any of them. He may actually make a scrap out of it but in all honesty I'd say that Tyson beats them all.

    I'd take him over all ultimately. You'd have to wonder with the best version of Baer though. Tyson's better technically to the hills and that on paper means he lands more, and exploits his man. But Baer wants to smash his man to a pulp and that must be respected when you have a focused Max Baer.

    I see exactly what Greg means about Moore, but he just won't be strong enough to succeed here in my opinion.

    2. When fighters go into journeyman mode, itsway easier to last the distance
    3. I think Tyson has the best skills ofthe lot so how can they frustrate him :huh
    4. I dont think Baer is any better than Bruno or Smith (who also came to survive), he certainly doesnt hit harder than Bruno and he gave it up against the INFERIOR Louis, Baer also had some of the worst skills of all champs

    I am not a Tyson Phan by any stretch, but he would have to be the clear favorite in all of these fights, and most of them by KO and many of those early! I would give Walcott and Schmeling (thats if he sees something, and won't tell us!) the best chance and make Max Baer a live under dog. Perhaps Moore, but I don't envision it.

    Tyson may get tested by some of these, but he should prevail! I wouldn't feel comfortable picking one of them over him!

    1988 Tyson would give fits to every HW in history but I do think, believe it or not, that a Prime Archie Moore was smart enough to weather that early storm, frustrate Mike and stop him late.
