    He would throw far more right hands that Ruddock did.

    Tyson abandoned his head movement by this stage of his careeer, Ruiz`s guard was much better v AJ.

    Joshua is still better than Ruddock and Bruno, not by much but he has more in his locker.

    Tyson showed some decent moves post Rooney, like shifting to catch Mathis from a better angle, but mostly he fought lazily AJ would have destroyed him.

    What like Bruno? I think that's almost exactly how this fight would go

    What a silly question. Surely a more even match up would be Audley from the second Danny Williams or David Haye fight against AJ from any fight.

    How much "Post" prison are we going here?

    Let's have a look..

    Post prison Tyson fought

    Peter McNeeley
    Buster Mathis Jr

    Two hardly terrifying performances against legit opponents, very easy and poor "fights"

    Then Big Frank Bruno, this was a Bruno who was told never to fight again because he could go blind, was crossing himself all the way to the ring and cashed out. Also most of you slaughter Bruno, so was Bruno legit enough to be called "a great win".

    Then Tyson fought Bruce Seldon, another opponent and fight that you can't place much on.

    The first real fight Tyson had post jail was Holyfield, it was an opponent who wanted to fight, wanted to win and he beat Tyson up.
    The immediate rematch and ear biting was Tyson looking for a way out of a fight he was getting beaten up in AGAIN.

    So the first two fight that were actual fights Tyson lost.

    Then we had..

    Fat Old Botha.
    Orlin Norris. NC
    Ancient Julius Francis
    Lou Savarese
    Golota. NC
    Brian Nielsen

    ERRRR Really? Are you telling me that list of fights and those performances warrant praise?

    Then finally Tyson fought another fighter that came to win, actually wanted to fight, was in physical shape to fight, Lennox Lewis and Tyson was battered senseless, battered so badly he started wiping his own blood from Lewis's face and gently caressing Lewis cheek post fight.

    Then Tyson beat Ettiene

    And lost his last two against Danny Williams and Kevin McBride.


    Now, a young prime Tyson would go through all these heavyweight now, I have no doubt, I think a prime Lewis would too, so would a prime Bowe and a prime Holyfield, I don't rate this bunch of Heavyweights whatsoever compared to those lot.

    But the Tyson that came out of jail was a shell of what he was, he was never the same after Douglas, never the same, with Tyson post jail I would pick Wilder, Fury and AJ to beat him, I've even consider Whyte beating that version of Tyson.

    He was not the Tyson on the highlight reels or that 21 year old KO machine he once was.

    Have you watched Bruno Tyson II? It was pretty embarrassing.

    British chin is like British smile you brits have it and it’s obvious , I think mostly it’s due to a lifestyle , but poor genetics also play the role.
    Joshua packs some pure british china and there’s nothing you can do , just like there’s nothing you can do about brits being ugly.

    Yeah true but then you have to be very realistic about what attributes and ability Tyson had after prison.

    Like I say, the "wins" After serving Jail time Tyson had didn't tell us anything we didn't already know, those opponents were awful.

    He first true tests of his abilities after jail were Holyfield x2 and Lewis and he got served up in them all.

    I think AJ will try and use the new hammerfist punch he is working on. After AJ lands a punch he seems to pause and watch the opponent expecting them to fall. Tyson will then counterpunch causing AJ to do the crazy legs.
    However Tyson would not win by K.O.
    AJ quits first.
