Which Fighter Sufferers Most Moving Era's..?

Mike Tyson would suffer more in the 70s because theres like 6 or 7 guys he has a very low chance of beating. And its hard to work around that.

Holmes might not be the guy in this era. But hes got a healthy shot of beating anyone who fights today.

 

6 or 7? Interesting. I'd make Holmes rule the division today in a similar way to Usyk. I have always thought Ali, even seventies Ali beats Tyson, FOC Frazier beats him but a series might see a Tyson win and I swing back and forward with Foreman, for many reasons. Mike goes right through Norton, Shavers, Lyle...maybe Jimmy Young does a Douglas on him, but I don't think so.

 

Holmes and Usyk would be interesting.

 

Tyson would beat everyone in the 70s, maybe except 71-75 Ali, but Tyson has a reasonable chance to win.

 

Jess Willard fighting Zhang would be amusing

 

He's not beating Foreman.

 

To me 70s Ali gets hit too much to be picked over a Peak Tyson. You need the 60s Ali IMO.

 

Yes he is.

 

Don't know if he beats Wilder

 

This is bizarre to me.

Yes, Mike is hugely overrated by many, and he had no longevity as a great fighter.

However, he was a great HW with unique attributes.

Who are the 6/7 guys who he'd have had a very low chance of beating?


To me, Ali is the GOAT at HW.

However, he was past his prime in the 70's, and Joe Frazier gave him hell, due to how they matched up stylistically.


Frazier was a great fighter. But he wasn't as great as Mike. Mike was a much more dynamic, two handed fighter, with a better offense and defence.


I think that Foreman could have beaten Mike. I agree with Cus' assessment.


I think he beats everyone else.


I'd love to know who the 6/7 fighters are who you have in mind.

 

Foreman
Ali
Norton
Jimmy Young
Lyle
Frazier
Shavers(number 7)

You can throw in prime Larry Holmes and Bugner for good measure. Not that he had a very low chance of beating them thats more reserved for the rest of the group but those are very tough fights for Mike.

 

Ha!

Could you imagine?

 

That is truly bizarre.

No disrespect, but have you got knowledge of those guys?
