    USyK
    Fury
    Joshua
    Wilder

    1) USyK or Tyson UD
    2) Tyson KOs Fury between the 6th and the 8th
    3) Tyson KOs Joshua within 5 rounds
    4) Tyson KOs Wilder within 5 rounds

    Your opinion?

    IMO:
    Tyson loses to Usyk
    Gets embarrassed by Fury
    Stops Joshua and Wilder

    Nearly.

    Tyson v Usyk is a pick'em fight. I would lean slightly towards Tyson.
    Tyson v Fury is also a pick'em fight. I would lean slightly towards Fury.

    Tyson stops both of the other two.

    Tyson is too elusive and fast punching for the giants and too powerful for Usyk

    He beats Joshua, Usyk and Wilder. If Fury fights smart, he might win. And Fury is just the type to fight smart and have no problem with stinking up the joint to win.

    I would have Tyson Usyk as a pickem as well. I just think "The Rooney version" or whatever you want to call it of Tyson was very overrated. Great fighter no doubt but he also got spoon fed a diet of Don King manipulated "top" contenders to very much pad his dominance. I could see him beating Usyk, but I think Fury would frustrate him. I'm probably in the minority there.

    Prime Tyson KO’s them all, the mystic of that man will be hard to beat and since it’s impossible to prove if he wins or not let’s just agree he would KO them all, it’s more fun like that.

    1. Usyk
    This of the 4 fights offered would be the most interesting for me to watch.
    The fight would not run like the Usyk-AJ Fight because of Tyson’s “speed kills” ideology.
    I don't know what Usyk's chin is like, so I can only guess the outcome.
    55/45 Tyson

    2. Fury
    I see this fight as a Usyk-AJ fight (where Tyson is Usyk and Fury is AJ).
    50/50

    3. Joshua
    Tyson moving head movement, and lowering his head one meter above the ground, and then hitting from that position would be a big problem for AJ.
    AJ might not have been knocked out, but he would have lost on points.
    60/40 Tyson

    4. Wilder
    Wilder has no job to keep Tyson at distance. If he had it, he would be a favorite.
    All Tyson needs is to maintain concentration throughout the fight, to avoid Wilder nuclear right.
    Tyson's brutal body shot would force Wilder to capitulate.
    So I don't think this fight would be over.
    65/35 Tyson

    He ko's them all

    Too strong for Usyk.
    Fury struggled with Witherspoon, Tyson tko's him.
    Aj and especially Wilder are tailormade early ko's for Tyson.

    Tyson/Usyk - I think would be a very competitive hard fought fight. Tyson's speed and aggressive style will put it on Usyk. Breidis gave Usyk a tough fight so I can see Tyson doing the same. But will Tyson fade and Usyk takeover in the 2nd half? Can Usyk take the power and combinations of Tyson? I maybe give the edge to Tyson but I could see Usyk winning too.

    Tyson/Fury - Fury has shown he can take a big punch, so Tyson is going to need more than just a lucky punch, he'll need to break the bigger man down. I favour Fury, his size, his ability to manhandle Tyson and push him back at times, will see him win a decision. Tyson will always be dangerous and Fury may need to pick himself off the canvas at least once but I think he has the style to beat Tyson.

    Tyson/Joshua - Would be a fun fight. Joshua will try and keep it long but unlike Fury he isn't as good defensively and doesn't use his size to manhandle smaller opponents. Tyson will get inside and have plenty of success. Joshua is good up close for a big man and he'll be forced to fight up close more than he would like. But in the end Tyson's pressure and ability to take a shot and throw back harder will see him KO Joshua in the the middle rounds in an entertaining affair.

    Tyson/Wilder - Wilder doesn't fight well going backwards and no way he backs up Tyson with his reactive style defence. He'll be pushed back and doesn't have the jab or physical style to keep Tyson off him and tie him up. Tyson will expose Wilder's lack of inside game and once inside rip him apart. Tyson KO's him early in brutal fashion. It's just a really bad style match up for Wilder, I don't even think Wilder has much of a punchers chance as Tyson has a good chin and has to take a systematic beating to be ground down and stopped, one big right hand isn't going to do much to Iron Mike.

    Tyson KOs them all in my opinion, Usyk included.

    Hard to see AJ and Wilder hearing the bell for round 3.

    Is this the same Rooney Tyson who couldn't knock out 208lb Tillis or Tucker? Fury is far superior to both of them so he isn't getting knocked out. He's also almost a foot taller than Tyson.

    Out of the 4 fighters Tyson has the best chance against Usyk, Chisora (a poor man's Tyson) gave Usyk a good fight so I'd expect Tyson to win that.

    The Joshua Wider fights would be close. Wilder would have to change his style and start dropping bombs from round 1 to stand a chance. His typical slow starts would play right into Tyson's hands.

    I'd pick Tyson to handily beat AJ & Wider.

    I'd also favour Tyson over Usyk, at least on the night that Usyk fought Delboy. I actually thought about that possible matchup after Usyk beat Chisora. Imagine dropping a peak Tyson in the ring that night and I'd have to lean towards Tyson.

    With Fury I think Mike would struggle more. The style and movement from Fury plus the size advantages makes for bad a match up for Mike. I can see Fury winning a U/D if he's on good form. Having said that I wouldn't confidently place any serious dough on it either way.

    Tyson has never beat a boxer of even half of Usyks skill on points so I can’t see him beating Usyk by decision. To win he would have to stop him.
