    How would he have done, in the cruiserweight division from the mid 80s-late 90s?

    Some potential opponents:
    Holyfield
    Carl Thompson
    Dwight Muhammad Qawi
    Jeff Lampkin
    Anaclet Wamba
    Carlos De Leon


    Lets say he retired in 2001.

    HOW DOES HE DO?

    For sure he would not have earned the 400 millions earned in HWs

    Horrible. Tyson naturally had a thick frame, so he wouldn’t have been able to get under the 190 limit. He didn’t have a frame like Holyfield, who without weights and other methods would’ve struggled to get over 190 lbs.
