    Pep is a more elusive fighter than old Holmes, I wouldn't pick him to beat Tokyo Tyson neither. Without a physical advantage you aren't keeping Tyson off you.

    Tokyo Tyson would have destroyed Spinks and any LHW fighter, just not a HW with good feet and a good jab, evidently.

    Charles and Moore had declined more than Tyson had. They wouldn't survive.

    BTW, a big part of the reason why Tyson was so much less effective and aggressive against Douglass was that Douglas earned Tyson's respect early with some very hard jabs and rights, while frustrating him by holding him and jumping back out of range. Moore-Charles-Walcott don't have the physical tools to do these things against Tyson.

    You have nothing to base that on.

    Spinks gets destroyed.

    They were not on top of the game. Charles was losing consistently, Moore was still able to make the same day LHW limit. ****ell was a never was. Tyson destroys all 3.

    Look at Tyson's physique, he clearly trained hard. Just not on his fundamentals.

    No no no.

    Tyson isn’t even pressing the fight in the early rounds.

    He just comes out of his corner lethargically head hunting, and Douglas quickly loses his fear.

    If he tries that against Walcott or Charles, they are going to take him to the cleaners.
