    Tyson would use Williams as a yoyo, a lot like Klitschko did for....157 ish seconds, by which point the ref would wave it.
    McBride may last a lil longer if Tyson wanted to play with him, otherwise KO 1 or 2

    I'd bet my life he'd KO both of them in the first round, Tyson back then was on another planet, speed and skills-wise.

    KO's within 30 seconds for McBride. Williams may last to the 1 minute mark.

    Basically. And it's why anybody who knows a lick of boxing shouldn't act like that fight proves that Lennox would even come close to doing the samething if he fought an 88 Tyson cause the fight would look 10 times different. Watch the first round in the Lewis fight how Tyson stormed out and Lewis fought scaredly and Tyson won the first round(the only round he had in him) because of it. Now just imagine a much faster, harder hitting, better defense, better reflexes, and better stamina Tyson in the ring with Lewis and it's real easy to figure out what would happen.

    Round 1 Tyson flattens McBride.
    Round 2 Tyson flattens Williams.
    Round 3 Tyson flattens lewis.
    Overall an easy night for 88 Tyson.

    Probably 1 to 2 rounds for McBride, 2 to 4 for Williams.

    However, I'm going to go against the grain a lot here:

    '88 Tyson wasn't looking great against world beaters!

    Yes, '88 Tyson had the right opponents and really went after them (and finished them)

    How old was Holmes? Almost 40!
    Spinks wasn't exactly ATG material, petrified and very small (only had 4 fights at above 200lbs, and not by much!)
    Tubbs? Wasted Talent.

    '88 Tyson still had the "mystique" that Buster Douglas would forever damage (except in the eye of the "casual fan"). That was always a major asset.

    I'd love to have seen an '88/'89 bout between Tyson & Holyfield.

    u smart.....thats why i posted this....too prove how horrid tyson wouldnt lose to lennox......prime 4 prime.........shitt man lewis had fits with mercer.....who was 12 lbs too high..........mercer lost in the later rds....slugged off against lewis .....tyson wouldnt...........even a non prime tyson.....1991 version would beat lennox lewis..............lennox had fits against bruno.........in 8rds with bruno(tyson never lost a rd)...............one thing i would say though if lewis and tyson faced in 96...........lennox would knock tyson out.......tyson was a headhunter/slower/no jab./winging wild punches like against mathis jr/bad stamina(when in rd 6 against holy.....tyson was winded.........against ruddock in 91 tyson was 216 lbs(wasnt tired against ruddock)..........lennox drops his hands too much ...did against (tua alot).......remember what tyson did too carl williams when he dropped his hand..........
    I honestly like lennox
    but even 1991 version of tyson would knock out 1999 version of lennox..........lennox is too tentative and tyson would eat that up.............mercer pinned lewis against the ropes but couldnt finish the job...........i wonder what would happen to lewis when tyson pinned him against the ropes........
    So this thread proves what lennox did in 2002 to tyson meant nothing but a huge payday$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    mcbride gets KO'ed in 1 at best.

    Williams might make it a few rounds... 2 or 3...
