    Insert Mike Gerald Tyson, let say from the Holmes to Spinks time frame instead of AJ against WK and vice versa, Tyson against AJ from a couple of weeks ago.

    Whats the Classic pick here...how are those fights are going to play out.....according to some in this section one only had to stand up to Tyson to beat him aka dont be intimitated..........will those two beat him down because they fear no foe ?

    With his ferocity I can picture Tyson dropping and stopping Joshua, who isn't exactly Primo Carnera defensively. Klitschko would be the tougher task in my mind and I would have to favour the good doctor to wear down and stop Iron Mike.

    Tyson KO Joshua (r4-8) - In a blazing shoot-out
    Klitschko TKO Tyson (r9-12) - In a typical prime Wlad snoozefest

    Tyson early to mid ko.

    Both are just too fragile with bad stamina to deal with such a ferocious animal with awesome chin like tyson.

    There is no way a prime Tyson looses to a 41 year old, no way no how.

    WK shows all the signs of a shot fighter, looking great in camp but cannot translate it into the real thing. His so called "best jab in Heavyweight History" as claimed by some was merely pawing most of the time and he did not step into it.......he had no snap on his punches........he could not let a combo go...........he could not finish a guy who was dead for several rounds because he cannot pull the trigger anymore....he was never a fluid fighter but he was stiff as a board and looked almost comical when he whalled his arms trying to parry shots.............AJ was wide open for uppercuts and especially body punches when up close and WK did not know what to do............

    I forgot your wording in the op when writing my reply, I was imagining prime vs prime. Having said that I don't agree with your assessment of 41 year old Wlad versus AJ, I thought he looked terrific and I would still give him a great chance to defeat Tyson.

    So a 41 year old WK could not finish AJ off after the knock down despite AJ was out on his feet and very close to it the next few rounds because WK was too spent to follow up and now he would keep prime Tyson at bay with "control of distance " lol, what are you smoking...btw he won every SINGLE round against Bonehugger.

    I think razor ruddock who went 12 hard rounds with tyson would have a good chance to knock out both wlad and joshua

    Tyson would have broken down klitschko, he would have dropped him earlier on than aj did and followed up till it was stopped. AJ would have put up a better fight, catching tyson and rocking him but he would have been wide open for Mike. So I see tyson stopping him around the seventh.

    Tyson easily beats current wlad, Tyson explodes at klitschko and with his hand and footsped i dont see klitschko countering or catching him on the way in. Klitschko cant grab and wrestle him until after he's already taken a big tyson shot on the way in...
    Joshua i havent seen enough of but i dont think he could keep up the pace

    Tyson vs Prime Wlad: If the fight takes place in the US, under fair rules where the Wlad would not be allowed his constant clinching tactics, Tyson wins by KO.

    Joshua would land a uppercut that would decapitate Tyson and send his head into the crowd, feather fisted Douglas nearly took his head off with his own uppercut.

    I would pick 88' Tyson from Holmes-Tubbs-Spinks fights to beat both AJ and Wlad
