Prime Tyson vs 70s Heavyweights

Berbick, loony tunes ******.

Smith, average to say the least

Thomas, junkie

Tucker, very good

Tubbs, drugs, and booze

Williams no more than average

Rudduck, limited but big

Still this is another Tyson thread so the lying fanboys and excuse mongers come crawling out from under their stones.

Would all the lying fanboys who claim Tyson wasn't training properly for fights care to post his weights for Spinks, Bruno, Williams, Douglas, Tillman, Stewart, and Rudduck 1 and 2, in that order.

These fights span a couple of days before his 22nd birthday, to a couple of days before his 25th birthday, so we can forget the past it bull****.

 

Ali would be a 50-50 fight vs prime Tyson. Ali liked to fight going backwards. Tyson liked to fight coming forward. Ali is generally thought of having one of the best chins ever in heavyweight boxing but some of the stick Frazier and Cooper put on Ali makes me think Tyson could crack it. Also, I think Quarry had Ali hurt with a body shot, a left hook, in their first fight, so Tyson's left hook to the body would most likely do more and be followed by more.

 

He KOs Norton and Frazier. Loses to the rest.

 

Tyson also wasn't 40 years old and gone for 10 years.. Kinda makes a difference. At 48 years of age, George was getting the better of Shannon Briggs and Lou Savarese. Care to surmise what Tyson would do in the ring now?

 

Tyson’s career pretty much pans out the same in any era:

He cleans out the contenders in spectacular style, on his way to a title shot.

He probably holds the title at some point, and if he doesn’t, he comes to our attention as a standout among fighters who never held the title.

He likely looses focus at a fairly young age, and heads into a rapid decline.

 

Ali gets hammered by Tyson. Its not a popular opinion but its the most logical one as far as im concerned.

Jones and Copper gave him serious problems and Mike was a nuclear version of them put together.

Ali didn't like small guys coming in swinging left hooks and Mike was designed to crush those type of guys.
