    Murder inside 4 rds, Tyson would break the big mans jaw. It's not as if he can't reach him.

    if fit tyson shows up it's a UD simply because of huge skill difference and that bob n weave will annoy the hell out of valuev.

    but if unfit (specifically little/no head movement) tyson showed up i think valuev would win by KO in the late rounds.

    but i really doubt that prime tyson could KO prime valuev. simply too big a size difference. simply too big a difference. all valuev has to do is stand upright and tyson's leverage would evaporate when trying to jump that high lol.

    the only way tyson would even have a chance of the KO is if he somehow hurt valuev to the body but again based on physics, valuev simply has a huge frame, meaty and thick skull. just can't see it happening.

    wladimir has better chance in my opinion simply because he has long arms and the height difference wont be as much as it would be for tyson.

    another example is the valuev chagaev fight. chagaev looked like a kid in there, and chag is taller than tyson! it gets to a point when sheer physics overrides any skill, talent advanatge. a super fit tyson also was only 17-20 pounds over crusierweight limit if i remember correctly.

    Tyson KO, early on, Tyson would destroy him, suprised anyone voted for Valuev but maybe on an off day if Tyson felt like ear-munching again he'd suprise us.

    Dear Friends
    kind regards
    Mike Tyson versus Nikolai Valuev.
    I feel that this would be a very strange fight.
    Valuev would be punching down and trying to stop Tyson's advance.
    My view is that Tyson would use body shots to bring Valuev down, they would weaken him.
    Valuev could use his reach to trap Tyson or to push him away.
    Tyson would win by a TKO in round 8.
    yours thankfully
