    Jose Ribalta was credited as Mike Tysons strongest and most durable opponent, made me wonder how many rounds he would last against the strongest (do not debate this, not the thread for that) boxer in history.

    whats your take?

    I'd have to rewatch the Bonecrusher Smith fight to make a proper assessment. He got dropped multiple times en route to a decision loss that most felt he should've won, but Smith is a much less active, and much less effective fighter than Foreman was.
    Ribalta definitely has a chance here to last 10, but it's unlikely.
