    What if Canelo Álvarez had the body of Prime Mike Tyson and fought against the best heavyweights in history(Ali, Foreman, Sonny Liston and etc.), who would be the best heavyweight that he can beat?

    I was thinking about how well Canelo would fare against elite heavyweights in history, but he's obviously too small for them so what if he had the body of a heavyweight that is physically similar to him? Then I realized that he and Mike Tyson shared similar size and athleticism in their weight class; both had elite speed, solid chins, good power, and above-average stamina.

    What about Mike Tyson's arms, Holyfield's head, Fury's Belly, the heart of a lion and the neck of a giraffe?

    So basically, a 215 lb Canelo? He'd look like a real life Vegeta, except nowhere near as powerful and gets chinned by the first guy he fights in round 1. He'd be too fat, too slow and it would be a miracle if he had enough stamina just stand up for 3 minutes due to his overly bulked frame weighing him down.
