    Imagine with these actual fights, both fighters fought in their prime, would it be the same result or different?

    Mayweather vs Canelo?
    Holyfield vs Tyson?
    Lewis vs Tyson?
    GGG vs Canelo?
    Ali vs Holmes?
    Holmes vs Tyson?

    Ironically, I'd pick Ali to beat Tyson.

    Another interesting one, if Wilder and Ortiz fought when Ortiz was in his prime I would pick Ortiz quite convincingly

    Good picks, I think Tyson would always struggle with Lewis due to his size, reach and boxing style
