Pick smaller fighter against Mike Tyson

Let’s not get crazy now

 

No, but I'm close.
Baer wasn't very skilled

 

I really believe that a prime Tyson is the best HW ever.
That doesn't make him unbeatable, but he's that special.

 

Marciano has no chance. Too slow and too poor balance. It would be brutal target practice for as long as it lasted.

Tunney would be overwhelmed quickly and viciously. You can't finesse your way to a win over prime Tyson. And I'm not convinced how well Gene's level of quicks and finesse translate to the better class of athlete that Mike faced.

Dempsey, who at 6-1 and 77" reach is larger than Tyson in some ways and would provide an entertaining fight. But too many holes in his defense and like Tyson too often went all out for the early stoppage, problem being that Tyson's "all-out" is more destructive than Dempsey's vis a vis the quality of their relative competition.

Holy is certainly bigger than Tyson by almost every measurable.

I think people don't appreciate how small Tyson actually was/is. Having met him back in his hey day, it was the first impression I took away.

 

I don’t think so, he’s was a great fighter but his style was one dimensional and he was mentally weak, I also don’t think he was built for wars

 

Oh, I understand and believe you on both points. But, in my 40s I would have beat Tyson like a dog in a no holds barred match. His punches couldn't keep me off him, while mine would bust that body and dislocate those knees. He would feel fear first and fast and try to capitulate which would send me into overdrive and crush his hands under my boots and rip an ear off to teach him to listen better. My thumb in his eye he would feelcthe rest of his days.
Oh yeah Johnny B. I am with YOU dog!! I ain't gonna die soft! I will die hysterical and historic taking down any ***** punk rapo like Tyson who would deign to walk across my shadow.
In my 60s now, I would just introduce him to Mr. HENRY. Lolololololol

 

IMO only a handful can live with him at his best: Bowe, Lewis, the Klitschkos, and possibly Foreman and Fury.

 

Perhaps you are not delusional that you would have had any reasonable chance against Tyson & are just blowing off steam.
Otherwise-& if you really would want to hurt Tyson like this-that is worse than Tyson's in the ring sins-& you are Insane.

 

What’s Johnny_B’s record? Does he have a highlight real on YouTube for me to salivate over?

A physical specimen with Shavers and Baers power combined with Ali’s speed must be in the upper echelons of the heavyweight division and earning millions. And if he has Pat M training him as well then we have the future and saviour of boxing in our midst!!

 

Dear The Seamus

You are still the Seamus

 

The Baer Brothers would have his number and ring his bell.
