Best post-1950 heavyweight that 15 year old Tyson could beat?

Floyd Patterson

 

Once again: Al Evans (4-6 as a pro) and Craig Payne (12-20) were far from great boxers, but they were 27 and 22 years respectively when they beat 16 y.o. Tyson, and Evans stopped Mike. Both had no problem beating THAT Mike.

 

They weren't pro fights. Mike wasn't even that good under am rules.

Pretty sure this version of Tyson may have caught many a good HW cold, he's weighing around 95kg.

A 15 year old Tyson could have given Tunney hell for 3 rounds. Maybe stopped him...?

 

I think that the idiot will change his way to think after watching this vídeo.even if he does not admite it

 

Exactly don't know why people are thinking Mike was such a monster at 15.

 

I'm sure that since the 50's there will have been a few pro heavyweights who would have taken a beating at the hands of the 15 year old kid Tyson; after all, he was a very precocious fighter who was knocking grown men around the ring every day of the week at that age in the gym, professionals too...There's proof all over YouTube We don't need a time machine.
When Tyson was asked if he thought he could have won the title at 19 and been the first teenage heavyweight champion Tyson said " I could have beaten Holmes at 16, but i wasn't confident enough but I knew everything to beat him, all the technique and which punches to throw".

 

No fit fully trained adult fighter would have lost to Tyson at 15 years old.

 

I don't understand where you guys are coming up with this bit. Is there some law of nature where something magically happens to your body when you turn 18 that allows you to beat up teenagers who are vastly physically superior and more talented than you?

 

Tyson beating Holmes at 16, get the fcuk out of here. I've got quite a few of his amateur fights on DVD when he was around that age and he's very very raw, no where near the finished article.

 

Anyway you pick holmes to beat prime tyson what is even a bigger joke

 

was zaggers a teacher of yours?

 

Yes.
