Pick smaller fighter against Mike Tyson

I'd give Louis a decent chance. I think Holyfield was 208 (tho i'd better wait for Charlie to indisputably confirm this via the naked eye) against Douglas and he'd certainly be in the mix.

 

Like half the guys you listed are bigger than Tyson

 

Taller or bigger weight wise? Couldn't tell.

 

Tyson would destroy Louis, Dempsey, Johnson and Marciano. It's not just the power but the ability to easily knock them off balance because they were so light. And the fact Tyson was faster and technically better than all of them. They have zero advantages

The Holyfield that fought Douglas was punch perfect and would be against '91 Tyson too. So I'll take Holyfield.

 

Tyson was technically better than Louis? In what way would you say?

I doubt his hands were faster than Joe's too but i'd concede he was much more aggressive with his footwork and closed the distance better IMO. He was hard to hide from and you had to fight him off at regular intervals and/or clinch a lot. He was all over people early.

 

Prime Louis is 200lbs and giving up 20lbs. The nearest thing to Tyson was a far less skilled Godoy who took him to an SD. Past prime he struggled with Marciano's swarming. The style is terrible for him

Johnson fought with low hands. Do you seriously think you can evade Tyson onslaught with low hands and no lateral movement? Backing up in straight lines against Tyson while leaning back? Good idea

 

Yea Tyson would kill both of them, especially Johnson

 

Stop being delusional. Tyson obliterates them all. Plus many are bigger than he is, didn't you read the survey question

 

Tyson has superior hand speed and he moved a lot better than Joe, who was kinda flat footed.
