Prime Mike Tyson vs the Big 4

I've said multiple times I think Tyson beats 3 of those men, everyone except Fury. And it's not that I think Fury is better. I can't wrap my head around the dimensional uphill battle a 5'10 215 lb man would have trying to topple a 6'9 265 lb man.

I can't get that scenario to work in my mind. I've thought and thought about it, just can't make it work. There's even people I think would beat Fury that I think Tyson would run over. Just can't make this fight work.

 

Fury and Usyk have the best chances here, but Tyson wins handily over the other two.

 

I don't agree with this, although I think Mike Tyson's peak in 1988 would beat them all; I voted yes.

 

I voted yes but I would not put a penny where my mouth is.

He makes short work of Wilder, he has to sweat for a few rounds against AJ.

I don’t think Fury possesses the heart or the gonads to deal with peak Tyson and peak Tyson’s boxing skill set is miles better, but there is the question of size.

Usyk is the toughest obstacle, IMO.

Tyson goes 4 - 0

 

I’d make him the favorite over all for. Fury would probably be his biggest problem due to the immense difference in size

 

Bull****. He wasn’t super man

 

Yeah these posts are ****ing crazy,

 

Nothing compared to literally any Tyson hypothetical matchup on social media like TikTok Instagram

 

In my opinion people watch his highlight videos and assume he goes out and one punch KO’s every heavyweight who ever lived (in his mythic “prime” of course) even if your name is Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali or Oleksander Usyk. It’s pathetic fanboy stuff.

To his credit Mike Tyson himself is a lot more realistic about these sort of match ups than his cheerleaders are.

 

Tyson likely knocks out Joshua and Wilder, probably roughs up Fury en route to a hard fought decision, and likely loses to Usyk.
The bias for old heavyweights is oh so ignorant.
Tyson was no doubt a great, but even in his prime, he wasn't superhuman.

 

To be fair Foreman fought 5 guys, so Chuck Norris can be the 5th opponent, the only thing more potent than his roundhouse kick is the 88 Tyson uppercut, no version of Norris' beard goes unrustled

 

He knocks out Wilder & AJ and gets outboxed by Usyk and Fury.
