    AJ has told Tyson to stay away from modern elite heavies because they are bigger and stronger and have access to moddern technology and Mike would out of his depth against top modern heavies. Tyson`s fundamentals were better than AJ`s and in his prime he would have knocked him out, what AJ is saying is complete garbage, why do some believe is this bigger stronger theory above fundamentals now?

    Prime Mike Tyson would walk through AJ

    Big stiff chinny idiot

    Not that AJ has any functional size. He's a weight lifter.

    I don`t like you calling him a big stiff chinny idiot, but yes he would too chinny for Tyson`s power, Povetkin proved that by hurting him with Tyson like counter hooks and he would also be too stiff with all that muscle against a fighter with Tyson`s hand speed.

    Prime Tyson would walk right through Fury and Joshua, strangely I think Whyte would give Tyson the harder fight although he’d get caught eventually. Wilder would look like one of Tyson’s early career round 1 victories, it’d be over in about 40 seconds.

    Even late 90s Tyson would have a good shot at beating AJ.

    Whyte is a poor man's Ruddock kind of. Don't think Tyson would have much issue with him tbh. Fury would probably cause the most problems due to his size, movement and general awkwardness.

    I see the myth that is 'prime' Mike Tyson would steamroll anyone put in his path is alive and well.

    If ever a fighter has been fetishized it's Iron Mike.

    Joshua is better than, but in many ways similar to Frank Bruno, with a number of the same strengths and weaknesses. Prime Tyson would lick him.

    Man, I really hope AJ is doing this out of some kind of misguided sense of chivalry, and not trying to goad Tyson into a fight. The only Tyson he needs to be fighting is the current WBC champ.

    Modern heavies are definitely naturally bigger, stronger, have better training, and are better at cycling PEDs, micro-dosing etc.
    Tyson era heavies had easier access to heavy PEDs and utterly lenient supervision. So using a time machine, dragging them each out to fight in a neutral time period, it could be interesting with some of these match-ups.

    But if you put those old ones in this era, they wouldn't be as juiced and so performance would drop. Likewise if you let modern super heavies roid like the old ones, the old ones would be smashed to pieces.

    So AJ is being very wise here. He is an elite life form, so we shouldn't be surprised, I guess.

    We do not know how much folks cheat today.
    We have no rational indication that some like Tyson, big from his early teens when poor & untrained-ever used PEDs.
    The idea that most or all must because they could have is just as irrational as those that believe either nobody not caught used, or all who were caught were innocent & it was a mistake or accidental contamination of a legitimate supplement.

    Give it a rest Miniq. You can’t call AJ chinny when you’re favourite fighter has been dropped by Pajkic with a 27% KO ratio and a 205 lb cruiser who had a 50% KO ratio at the weight class below.

    Well, actually Mike Tyson said in an interview that he wouldn't mind taking growth hormones, or anything legal or illegal, to help himself for fighting, but he said since growth hormones -were not available back then- he couldn't take them.

    To me that's a soft way to admit he took steroids, because steroids were definitely available back when he was fighting.

    He’s right, they are bigger, but they were always bigger than Tyson, and even with a size an strength advantage, Joshua still gets wrecked by prime Tyson. He is so ****ing stupid
