    He'd **** up the entire division, Klitschkos included.

    I would pick 86 Tyson to slaughter everyone in the division, both K brothers on the same night if he had the chance. By brutal KO, early in the fight.

    By 88 he had already started slacking off his training, but I would still take him over the K brothers. I wouldn't make it a lock like I would 86 Tyson though.

    Homicide.

    The Klit Bros would **** their trunks in the ring from fear of peak Tyson.

    I'll pile on. No one in the division even have a chance against Tyson.

    Vitali would probably do the best losing ala Bone crusher Smith.

    Wlad wouldn't make it past two.

    Tyson wasn't having a streak of KTFO Lewis Bowe Golota VK Holy... he was KO'ing heavyweights that in today's division wouldn't make top 10... or barely.

    :hi: A past prime Tyson, high on weed beat the **** out of Golota and made him quit.

    Today's HWs can't fight for **** as evidenced by Arreola being top 5 at one point and Sam Peter actually being Champ, or how about Valuev?

    I'd take Bruno, Tucker, Spinks, 88 Holmes, Thomas, Tucker, and 2000 Golota :cool: Over Chagaev, Arreola, Peter, Valuev, Ruiz and Haye.

    Tyson is already involved in the current heavyweight scene! It involves him appearing on holograms during Vitali's entrances to wish him well! All for $500 a piece. :yep

    Vitali or Vlad would knock him out. Some do not know how good The Klitschkos really are.

    I think your forgetting that wlad and vitalli have never fought anyone with tysons explosive nature and constant pressure from rd 1 to rd12. I think wlad would be caught 1st 4 rds and vitalli 1st 6 .

    :rofl Or how bad the heavyweight division really is. The Klitschko's are good, but I really don't see the greatness in them.

    Haye's movement?
    :rofl:rofl

    He would have soundly beaten David Haye because frankly David Haye's movement is not as good as Tyrell Bigg's movement, his firepower is better but his movement is not.

    He would stop Wladimir in about 6-7 rounds.
    He would likely decision Vitaly.
