Yeah I think Tyson would beat Arreola... but I think he is over rated. Its just Arreola is awful. I dont think Tyson is awful just not great.
I'm not ripping Arreola but I don't think he's the type of guy that would have found success with any version of Mike that was still competitive. He is far too easy to hit for Mike. There are a couple of Ukrainians out there that would have been very capable of challenging the best Mike. Mitch Green, Berbick, old ass Holmes, Spinks, and many others would have beaten the nipple man, inmo.
People talk about how weak the HWs were in the 80s BUT back then guys were in shape and had decent ability, someone like Arreola or Peter would not have been in the top 15 or 20, let alone top 5.
Wow, that's saying something, I wouldn't be more surprised if I woke up in the morning with my face sowed to the ass end of a mule deer, but that's just me.
