Was there any former lightheavy in history that could beat a prime Tyson?

Tyson against any light heavy is Tyson in go for broke mode. I don't know of any light heavy with enough power to keep Tyson at bay long enough to get anything going.

Tyson ko's any light heavy in 3 rounds.

 

Holyfield only campaigned a little bit at Light Heavy before making the jump to Cruiserweight. He would have been too inexperienced.

 

I see what you did there.

 

Holyfield never campaigned at 175, that I know of.

 

He had like four fights there.

 

I actually just looked it up and he had never officially never made 175. He came on average, a pound and a half over the 175 limit.

 

There's no one that I could think of , except maybe bob fitzsimmons. Maybe he could get lucky and land that paralyzing solar plexis punch (a theoretical possibilty but highly unlikely). That would give him a chance against anyone seeing how that everyone has a solar plexis.:yep

 

Yeah, Boxrec has his official weights.

 

No, he did not.

 

I just saw where you recanted the light heavy statement.

Bygones.
