Pick a lightheavyweight to see the 4th round against prime Mike Tyson

Maxie Rosenbloom,stopped twice in 274 fights.?

 

Harry Greb

 

Tunney, and I bet he would

 

No way Greb gets past 3 with Tyson who has 55 lbs on him. Tyson was too fast a starter and just fast in general for a heavyweight. Tyson is stronger, faster, harder puncher, better defense and a better chin h2h.

I think Greb was fantastic against the heavyweights of his era and would be great against the ones a few decades after but not of Tysons size. There's a limit.

 

probably a few of them, but they'd all have to be good movers. I can't see a natural 175lbs man trading head on with him for four rounds.

 

Tarver and maybe Hopkins.

I couldn't go with Greb on this one. Greb liked to swarm up close and all that means against a HW as fast and powerful as Tyson is that Mike wouldn't have to chase him. I can hardly see a worse matchup for Harry, and this is from somebody who thinks Greb is the badger's nadgers. I'd love for somebody to provide a cogent counterargument though

 

Love Hopkins but these two would be cannon fodder. You can't even put the most durable and or best 175's that had good careers at Heavyweight forward and have any real confidence. Tyson was murder in the early rounds at his peak.

 

Whoever said Greb needs to go and watch the 10 minute film that exists of him again... notice how he is half the size of Tyson?
He has absolutely no chance of making it out of round 1.

 

Norris, Frazier, Seldon, Mcneeley, Spinks, Etienne and few others were all a similar size to Tyson.

None of them saw the second round.

 

Spinks if he ran like hell rather than freezing.could go into the second half of the fight.wouldn't be much fun to watch though.

 

At least two of those took a dive whilst at least one was pulled out when not seriously hurt....
