    Listen Tyson wouldn't be in there with Etienne who took a dive for him, he would be in with the physically strongest fighter he has ever faced.

    Rahman's pure strength would have Tyson panting like a cornered nun in next to no time and we all know Tyson would be ripe for the picking, it would be like Tua vs Rahman 2, only difference Tyson doesn't see the final bell.

    This. Rahman was a flash in the pan who capitalized on the worst version of Lewis ever. Tyson,...from memory....would accomplish what Maskaev did with extra oomph and win by a stoppage within 6 rounds....maybe less. Lewis exposed Rahman in the rematch, so lets quit overrating him like this.

    For a free title shot against someone the calibre of Rahman, Tyson would have been on the first plane there.

    This comes up every now and than.

    I maintain my original opinion.

    Rahman boxes well but ultimately gets KOed Botha style. Tyson even at this stage will land the right cross and put him to sleep.

    Rahman got KOed by a washed up Oleg, a washed up Tyson would do the trick. He was always just too open for the right hand.

    And if Tyson could capitalize on the opportunity and get a win it would have given him a lot of legacy points... But that's " IF"

    rahman is nothing, yet rahman destroyed prime corrie, and shot2**** corrie destroyed wlad instantly.

    not good for wlads legacy.

    Why can't we ban these idiots?

    This idiot is trying to bring down a good thread. F**k Wlad, quit posting about him, the boxing world doesn't revolve around him and Calzaghe.

    nojoe calzaghe does not come into this, unless you want to mention that joe with his title was desperate to fight on a shot2**** non title Tyson undercard.

    One thing is for sure, Tyson would not have had the belt for long.

    Herolgee is a good poster most of time.

    I actually enjoy his rants about Calzaghe.

    Wlad, not so much.
