    An absurd question.

    There are some top HWs Floyd could just run from & lose a lopsided decision.

    I cannot see him lasting to the middle rounds with a prime Tyson.
    Even if he just literally ran around & threw token punches.

    Tyson was very fast indeed.
    The fight would be an absurd joke.
    Tyson would havd 70 lbs. of mostly muscle on Floyd, & that is when he was cut.

    Not quite as bad as (Jerry) Lewis vs. Rocky Marciano for charity, or Romney vs. washed up Holyfield...But close.

    First of all: would Mayweather have the guts to fight the 1988 version of Tyson? I don't think so..... :D

    Wait a minute. Floyd knew Tyson wasn't going to really hit him. Any Tyson, including now, would destroy Floyd. This whole thing has to be a joke.

    ...or any version of Tyson? This seems silly to bring up but Tyson was a heavyweight. This whole thing is ridiculous.

    Obviously there's no way for PBF to win. He might survive for longer than folks think though, by using his speed and defensive abilities to avoid Tyson's blows for a while.

    Can floyd hurt Tyson? Hell no, can Tyson hurt Floyd? You bet.

    Can Floyd successfully adapt his touch and run approach? This will be defining factor and Tyson was not the type of guy who would fear taking a punch of punches to land his own.
