    Personally I won't be surprised if there were especially in the lower levels of the sport.

    Just to clarify, I'm not talking about prime Tyson, but 55 year old Tyson today. How far can 55 year old Tyson get in today's heavyweight landscape

    Yes prime Tyson beats AJ, Fury and Wilder and with relative ease.

    Fury has the best chance due to the size difference but I'd still favor Mike Tyson. He would not have the speed nore the power to discourage him at all. But he'd manhandle Tyson in the clinches so it's a close one. Tyson late KO

    Tyson takes all of there lunches, Like with shocking ease. AJ will get blitzed so will DW only TF will survive 12 IF he decides to pretty much not engage in any actual fighting and pull a Tony Tucker.

    Clinching, Yeah I can see him wearing Tyson out by flopping on him like a beached whale round after round and sooner or later Mike might just say **** It and bow out, or win on a DQ.

    Yeah no ****. I'd pick a stiff like Eric Molina to smash today's Tyson.

    Serious question ?

    Current Mike couldn't beat anybody ranked in top 100.

    Prime Mike would beat most, maybe all of the current crop.
