    He'd be a taller version of McNeeley.

    Prime Tyson puts Fat Boys lights out....Size will have absolutely nothing to do with it.!!

    I think Fury is one of the worst matchups for Mike, I know it sounds absolutely ridiculous to say but it would look similar to Fury vs Chisora fights.

    I think Mike has a much better chance of being Usyk as he just matched up better against him

    Body shots are vital in beating fury, a consistent body attack.
    Unfortunately there’s only been one hw recently who has been able to use those skills, fury lost to him twice.

    Mike was excellent to the body.

    I think it goes to points.

    Tyson sticks it on Luke fury with speed and combos Luke fury has never seen in his life. Wilder was able to catch him with a two piece more than once. Iron mike catches him with either the kind of combos he took bruno out with in both fights or the combo he took out pinklon Thomas with. Fury ain't winning this one

    Wilder was Fury's best opponent?.....lol. If that's the case, Fury shouldn't brag about nothing on his resume.

    Hard to find any creation known to man more dangerous than a prime Mike Tyson.

    If you'd of put Mike Tyson in the ring with a silverback, I think Tyson puts him away in 2 rounds....lol

    Like on paper Fury has a good chance here....however actually watching them, prime Fury, although good, looks flawed at times, whereas prime Tyson looks like a wrecking ball.

    Has to be Iron Mike.

    Belly would have to be at his best, and we know he would be switched on for Mike, and at his best he possesses the size, the length, skills, slickness, and footwork to cause Mike a lot of problems.

    Belly might not have fought someone as fearsome as Mike but likewise Mike has never fought anyone with Belly's combination of size, skill, boxing ability, length, slickness, footwork and ring IQ. I'm talking the slick backfoot boxing Belly here not Kronk Belly.

    I would favour Mike but I'm not going to pretend like it would be a cakewalk for him because he came from a different era, that size and length doesn't matter, and that the adage styles make fights doesn't apply. Belly dwarfs him.

    Even the near 40 y/o version of Wlad Belly beat could turn Mike's lights out with a flush right hand or left hook. I'm not saying the reverse couldn't happen too but I bet an awful lot of people don't believe the former could happen. Mike was KO'd by fighters who don't hit near as hard as Wlad who is one of the most murderous punchers the HW division has ever seen so again it would be pure nostalgia
