Tyson Fury would beat Mike Tyson

Absolutely positive.

 

Still, that's quite a lift! And no, I never used PED, partly because I was warned of hair loss and sex problems. I play Metal guitar so the hair loss thing was especially off-putting lol!

 

True about being a little scared of what Mike would do to Fury...but I think Wilder would have been a contender. There really weren't too many great contenders out there during Mike's reign, and he pretty much kicked the crap out of practically all of them.

 

No disrespect, but there's nothing to smoke. There aren't heavyweights today (besides Fury and perhaps Joshua) whom compare to even a way-past-prime Holmes and Thomas, Tony Tucker, MIchael Spinks. No way. Michael Spinks alone might be a greater fighter than any heavy today BESIDES Fury (not entirely sure Joshua could beat him, Spinks was a tricky Jinx-ster).

I do fully sympathize with Fury being your favorite fighter, nothing wrong with that, I tend to overly defend my own (Holmes) regularly. All respect to your tastes.

 

Tyson had an underrated jab. That alone would offset Fury.
Let´s not forget how easily Tyson dealt with Holmes.
You can say all you want about Holmes, but just look at how Tyson handled his jab.

And in regards to Fury´s footwork, he loves to lay on the ropes. The only man not to really back him into the ropes was Wilder. Everyone else who has pressured Fury, Fury has obliged and taken his share of shots because of it.

 

What about the Fat short unfit Mexican he has a Punchers chance against all the Top 5 at the moment....Now imagine what a prime Tyson would do to Him....Even Prime Tua would have some fun with this Lot also we seriously over rate this lot of Heavyweights just because they are Big does not mean they are invincible....The short Fat Mexican has already proven that.!!!

 

Holmes was five years past his prime and hadn't fought a pro bout in nearly two years. Tyson himself said he didn't fight the legendary Larry Holmes...and said that Holmes would have beat him.

 

No he wouldn't

 

Oh boy here we go again

 

I like Fury but Tyson knocks him out, same with Wilder and Aj by the way.

 

Tyson Fury is fast for his size but not that fast.

He only looks so fast because his opponents are slow Robots including Robot King Klitschko.

Tyrell Biggs , Tucker , even old Holmes are all faster than Fury
and Mike was able to catch them.

Mike Tyson by 8-9 Round TKO

 

I'd say mike late TKO or decision. I compared Fury vs Chisora to Biggs vs Mike Tyson. Biggs is 6'5 and Fury is 6'7½ although weight wise Fury is a lot bigger. Tyson was just 3 or 4 levels above Chisora in terms of cutting off the ring and evading oncoming punches while doing so and Fury is a lot better than Biggs but in different catagories. Biggs was faster than Fury so if he could react to Biggs punches he could easily slip Furys. Mike Tyson would not be like a Chisora who is a plodder with mediocre or even terrible head movement that is there to be jabbed and landed on all night. Biggest problem wouldn't be Fury's height, it would be him clinching with Mike Tyson every 5 seconds.

Depends on the first 3 rounds if Tyson Fury could live with the intense pressure mike brought in the first few rounds then it's Fury on points. Mike Tyson was like a bull out the gate tho and could punish opponents. What really let Mike down was his engine, hard to keep up that pace for a whole fight. Recon Fury would find him hard to deal with for the first half.

 

A focused & hungry Mike Tyson stops Fury, Joshua, Wilder & everyone else.
Today's HW are much poorer than when he was up & coming/champion by some distance in my opinion.

 

Truth...
