    Not saying Tyson was afraid of Foreman by any means. But you dont think Foreman possesed any attributes that could have given Mike a problem.

    I think when you look at what Foreman had as opposed to what he didnt have it can be a very difficult bout for Mike.

    There's no way Wlad would beat a prime Tyson. Tyson would make him miss and hit him with a surprise left hook and Wlad wouldn't be able to shake it off.

    87-88 Tyson would be a very big problem for any heavyweight in history. No bull****.

    I think he starches Wladimir. Tyson was VERY good at getting inside. He had extremely fast footwork and worked his way in with great body movement.

    Once inside he was very busy to the body and head. All of that spells trouble for Wladimir. Wlad has never faced the kind of pressure, speed, power that this version of Tyson would bring to the table.

    Why is it a baseless argument? It is not enough to say there is no base for it, without explaining why.

    The only one with a chance is a top of his game Vitaly.

    Wlad is obviously next but imo. his mental state plays right into Tyson's game. Vitaly on th other hand is as cool as they come.

    What great champ has Tyson beat, the arguement that Tyson could defeat any top heavyweights is like saying Ricky Hatton fifteen years down the road could be the fighters in his current weight division. Lets face the facts, Tyson never dethrone the greats, same as Hatton so yes he looked like he was destroying opponents because the people he faced SHOULD have gotten destroyed. Let all remember that this great Mike Tyson got Molly Wopped around the ring by non other then Buster Douglas...

    Im sorry but if an old semi retired Corrie Sanders can KO Wlad then an in prime Tyson would do the same without a doubt.
