    The following are fighters whom Tyson has NO. CHANCE. IN. HELL. Against

    Liston
    Jim Jeffries
    Foreman
    Louis
    Ali
    Holmes
    Dempsey
    Lewis
    Vitali Klitschko
    Buster Douglas :yep
    Holyfield

    These following are fighters whom Tyson could beat, but most probably not:

    1990s Foreman
    1996 Holyfield
    2002 Lewis
    Bowe
    Oliver McCall
    David Tua
    Ike Ibeabuchi
    Frazier
    Johnson
    Marciano
    Sullivan
    Wladimir Klitschko
    Shavers
    Cleveland Williams
    Jerry Quarry
    Ron Lyle
    George Chuvalo
    S**** Iron (here you go nighttrain)

    These guys I'd go either way on:

    Walcott
    Langford
    Corbett
    Patterson - Glass chin, but more heart/guts/ballz than Tyson could ever dream of having. (Actually, that goes for everyone in this post. :think)

    Ridiculous. Tyson would beat most of the guys on those lists.

    I think prime Tyson could beat everyone - but he could also lose some.

    Half of the fights you listed are mismatches in favour of Tyson.

    I know you're trolling, but if you seriously think McCall or Chuvalo would not get utterly destroyed, don't respond.

    Possible reply:

    of the belief that Chuvalo deserved nod against Ali, both have already defeated greater fighters than Tyson
