    Not so many fighters to choose. I'd say 20yrs old Tommy Morrison might have puncher's chance.

    Not really, Tyson blows Sanders away.

    Sanders is known for his victory over Wlad and rocking Vitali in the first round, other than that, Sanders didnt really do ****.

    Put it this way, prior to beating Wlad, Sanders best wins were Bobby Czyz (The commentator) and Michael Sprott.

    you deleted every post you made in this topic, how sad, plus you did so without realizing you were quoted on most of them beforehand.
    How stupid.

    My guess is that Mike Tyson at 20 beats every other 20-year old in history.

    But with that said, I think it's weak with threads formed as rhetorical questions. Good threads have either new information or some measure of curiosity to them.

    Most of the threads here seem to get repeated over and over again, I bet you would have a hard time finding one that hadn't come up before, the threads I make are original at least.
    Its an interesting thought too, who the best young heavyweight of all time was.

    Lot's of **** threads around this place. And I've seen this theme before, but I've been here for a while, though.

    At least it's not objectionable, like trying to discredit Wills in order to make Dempsey's duck of him on racist grounds somehow go away.

    Many people doesn't understand the quality fighter that Stevenson was, he was knocking out every one inside 3 rounds, he beat all the us squad of talented but lazy heavies, Greg Page, Michael Dokes, John Tate, Duane Bobick, Tony Tubbs, Tyrell Biggs.
    I'm not saying that he would have beaten Tyson, but Tyson only went past 3 rounds only 6 times in 28 fights.
    So i believe Teofilo is the toughest fight of 20 year old fighters for Tyson.

    Tyson would have destroyed him.
    Stevenson never went past 3 rounds.
