    Haye beat a prime Tyson?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! He wouldn't last a round. Tyson was faster than he is, hits harder with BOTH hands and has a CHIN. Ruiz hit Haye........LMAO.......If those were Tyson's blows?? Come ON.........:nut:rofl:lol::huh:patsch

    He would rule all. He would knock out Both Klitchko's, Haye, Areola.

    Everybody

    Now the Tyson in 88 wasn't perfect, he had his faults but with the heavyweight scene being so poor he would rule all.

    However, if a 90's Holyfield or 90's Lewis was in the mix also, that could be different

    Mike Tyson vs Wald Klitchko is an interesting match up. Other than that I'd take Tyson within 6 rounds over everyone else that includs Vatili Klitchko.

    Tyson's comp in the 80's look like a bunch BEAST world beaters compared to the fat slow or chinny crap we have today.

    vs Klits it's less or more a tie (I'd give Vitali more chances, maybe even favour him slightly) . Other than that it's probably lights out for everyone else.

    PS. I'd like to see Tyson - Arreola and the post fight interview as Arreola is always bitching about others "running". I wonder what would he be beaching about when he'd regain consiousness.

    Wlad would've KO'd the Tyson that Lewis beat much the same as Lewis did it. Lennox & Wladimir are almost carbon copies of each other when considering their styles, strengths & weaknesses. I believe both of them also beat the very best version of Tyson, but probably not as easily.

    DEVASTATION.

    No-one is left standing, not Wlad, not Haye, not even Vitali.

    Young Tyson was just so many light years ahead of these guys it's not even funny.

    Tyson kills everyone it's not even close. He would make it look much easier then what he did in the late 80's. Wlad would get sparked and Vitali would get beat up like a punchbag.

    Lewis is much better overall than Wlad, he has much more poise, can fight inside, is more durable as well as being more versatile. One last thing about Lewis he came up at exactly the right time, I'm not sure how he would've fared against peak versions of Holyfield or Tyson.
