    You think Tyson had fun in jail? I remember in an interview Tyson was having some fun and laughing about how good of chin Robin Gibbions had. He said she could take his best shot and that he once punched her right through a wall. He has no morals at all.

    Pavlik is way more of a man then Tyson could ever be and don't ever compare the two again.

    Mike lacked discipline and determination. He would never rule this division, not unless he had his every move controlled and a personal shrink on hand.

    I agree to the most-part, but it would have to be an early-to-prime Mike Tyson, nothing later. Once he became the undisputed champion and everyone started emphasizing on his KO power, he started to lose his defensive discipline, and fought more as a flat-footed brute. Eventually, anyone who had a good jab would stymy his inward movement, as he had dropped his bob'n'weave style that Cus D'Amato taught him. Klitschko's make a living off their jab. But an early Tyson would have slipped around easily and get in the inside.

    With that crazed brain of his and bad management, Tyson is unable to 'rule' any era of heavyweight boxing for longer than a few fights.

    He'd win against a number of fighters and then implode against some random tomato can. Rinse and repeat.

    Any version of Tyson up till 96' would have slaughtered the Klitchsko's.

    Seriously some of the 'tomato cans' Mike beat up in the late 80's were better fighters then most of the top 10 HW's today.

    The modern era would not suit Tyson given that his main weaknesses were stamina and tall opponents. There are plenty of tall durable boxers around now who would take Tyson the distance and win on points as Tyson faded in the later rounds. Oh and of course both Klitschkos would dominate him so that would only leave him reaching third at best anyway.

    Well, Tyson ruled the heavyweight division for about 10 fights at the top, so saying he could only rule a division for a few fights is absurd. His only challenge now would be Wladimir. That's a very winnable fight and I'd favor him to take it by knockout. This old, washed-up/paper-skinned Vitali isn't doing anything to Mike Tyson in his prime. He'd get beat down brutally.

    And after that, no shitty fighter like Povetkin, Boytsov, Huck, Chisora, Haye, Solis, Mitchell, Arreola, Chambers, Adamek, Fury, Dimitrenko, Helenius, Thompson, Chagaev, Peter, Ustinov would be capable of pulling off a Buster Douglas type of upset. Douglas, on the night he beat Tyson, would **** all over them.

    Tyson would annihilate the heavyweights today.

    The biggest threat to Tyson is Vitali, but he is well past his prime, so yes Tyson would likely rule this era..
