If Mike Tyson at his best fought every good opponent Muhammad Ali fought could he have beaten them?

    Lyle would be dispatched as quickly as Berbick. Perhaps lasting another round or 2. Perhaps.

    What's with this Lyle nonsense?? I'll leave the other 2 alone.

    I think he'd lose to Liston and Foreman.

    50-50: Frazier and Holmes

    Agreed. We can’t just assume that he’d be the same guy who fought spinks from 1964 all the way to 1978. Now hypothetically if he were, he’d probably beat the vast majority of the men from that time frame with the possible exception of a select few.

    Liston was better than Douglas but Mike was all over the place that night.
