    As others have pointed out Tyson is a pretty terrible matchup in terms of style for Usyk. Tyson has KO'd guys of similar dimension to Usyk, though realistically not many, if any, who are as skilled. Bit of a tossup, could see Usyk getting KO'd or winning by UD.

    AJ would be tough for Tyson, maybe tougher than Usyk, he'd be the tallest guy Tyson ever faced (to my knowledge), can I realistically see him landing a famous uppercut on AJ? Tall order imo. Closest analogy in terms of style is AJ v Povetkin, Povetkin is taller than Tyson, but also iron-chinned with a penchant for fighting taller guys, up on the cards at the point where he gets KO'd by AJ, maybe Tyson, assuming he is the bigger puncher, gets AJ hurt and out of there earlier, but like I say the height difference is immense.

    Tyson had a good chin. not the best of all time but a good and durable one. many other attributes. In the fight with Mitch Green...Tyson was caught with an upper cut and froze for several long moments. If memory serves. We know from Buster Douglas he can be knocked out. Buster got up off the campus to do it. Not trying to take any thing away from Douglas by saying this.....BUT...I think Robin Givens and antidepressant drugs had no small part in that loss. Tyson admitted he was taking them at that time.
    However, my point is that I do think Joshua has enough power to stop Tyson. again one punch can change everything. Did Tyson have more on his side of the ledger...absolutely. Same point with Usyk.

    He once ate a woman in a bathroom as she sat on a sink at a party.

    Usyk punched using feints like Tyson he was too quick for AJ and so would Tyson be.
