    The punch that stopped Tillman wasn`t even Tyson`s best KO at all.

    One punch KO? How many of those did Mike score? A lot of his opponents got back up and were then finished off.

    The punches Mike hit Spnks with weren`t as hard as the punches Wilder floored Fury with, no way would Spinks have gotten up in that last round the way Fury did.

    Don`t think heads clashing would be a problem against boxers 6'6 and over v Tyson really.

    Can't see Wilder, Ruiz or Joshua doing it. Wilder doesn't hit that much harder than Lewis, and Lewis couldnt get tyson out of there with 1 punch. Prime Tyson was also not that easy to hit. It'll be a case of Tyson can take Wilders, but Wilder can't take Tysons.

    Joshua - well we saw how he dealt with Ruiz, he stands approx 0 chance against Tyson. Ruiz - I just can't see it. He has fast hands, so does Tyson. Except Tyson does everything better.

    Fury on the other hand, he has nearly a foot on Tyson. All he has to do is pop Tyson from the outside, run, pop, grab a hold of Tyson soon as he got in, lean on him, repeat. I actually favour Fury on that one. I find him boring as fk to watch but styles makes fights.

    Fury - jab and grab, make it really ugly

    Wilder - try to hit him, swing like a maniac and hope for the best

    Ruiz - have a slugfest and hope you catch him first

    Fury - tyson would be a bonafide snore fest. Fury would be in serious mode, tying up, elbows, leaning. No show boating, jab, distance, frustrate, tire him out, survive the first 4 even if it means losing them. Maybe Tyson fury via DQ

    wilder - tyson- could see Mike bashing wilder up if it goes past a couple of rounds. Wilder would simply be kill or be killed.

    ruiz - tyson- probably the best fight, Ruiz improve conditioning, box as normal as chin is proven, hope to steal rounds.

    Fury. I'd have him constantly moving trying to control the outside, and just tie up, lean and walk Mike back on the inside to wear him down.

    Wilder. He has no chance. So, I'd say stay far away if you can and swing for the fences and hope you get lucky.

    Ruiz has even less of a chance than Wilder. With his style, he'd be fighting right into Mike's strengths.

    Tyson and Ruiz held their gloves in similar positions and kept their hands active in this guard as they punched.

    I'd tell him to take a page out of Curtis Harper's book.
