Who could beat 86-89 Tyson?

That's because, like you, Foreman is an idiot. Ali couldn't KO Frazier or Norton despite throwing and landing everything he had.

Back of the yellow bus you go.

 

How so? :huh

Tyson couldn't knock out Kevin Mcbride, Danny Williams, James Smith, etc. :deal It's not that simple you moronic ****. Though I wouldn't expect a re**** like you to understand.

Back to Tyson's genitals you go. :hi:

 

That may be true but all were hurt ( Tillis was also knocked down )
He won all 10 rounds against Green, and 11 against Tucker ( 1 even ) .
no fighter knocks out everybody

 

Please don't tell me you're serious.

 

Ali, Vitali Klistchko, Holmes and Lewis. I'd pick him over everyone else. and a 60/40 with Wlad.

 

wlad? jeez no wlad cant even bumkill properly. now and again the bum kills him.

Tyson had no trouble with bumkilling, but gave up on it a ong time before he won the world title, whereas wlad just kept doing it with or without a title. very few of wlads defences would even register as valid defences for mike.

 

Tyson at his best was a dangerous fight for anyone. Strangely, Foreman is the one guy I would bet my life on against Tyson. Just a styles thing.

Ali would be favourite, but Tyson has the left hook and speed to trouble him. I just think Ali out guts him over the distance.

Liston has the all round game to beat Tyson, and I will pick him, too.

Holmes is 50-50 for me due to the fact that he was troubled by big rights even at his peak. Sometimes he might survive Tyson sometimes he might not. The same applies to Lewis.

I think he kayoes Bowe and Vlad, stops Vits on cuts in a war.

Louis would be interesting. I have to pick Joe but Tyson is very dangerous early for sure.

I think Frazier can beat Tyson, but he could be in serious trouble if caught early which is entirely possible.

I don't think a prime Tyson is a cinch for anybody.

 

Overall I think Tyson gets underrated on this forum.
Lewis, Ali , Foreman, Liston, Louis and Holmes are better than 50/50
Witherspoon and Bowe 50/50
Marciano and Dempsey get shredded
Frazier and Tyson would be a better *******.

 

Well, Tyson had been a pro for just a little over a year and it was his first real step up in terms of competition.

 

I am of the opinion that in terms of style Larry has the advantage here because he can jab, he can gain respect, he can move laterally and he can fire off combos. All things that Douglas did to Tyson.

The one thing that makes me dubious of my pick is that Larry loved a good tear up and he absolutely cannot exchange punches with Tyson.

But ill tell you this though, the Larry that fought Shavers, cautious of his power, that Larry can do the job over Tyson. And if Larry can fight dsciplined I would favour him.

 

Ali. I used to think foreman but I really believe Tyson has an incredible chin. And fatigue beat him more than anyone's punch. So imo only Ali would've beaten him. Mostly because Ali had a stronger mind and I think he would've had him beat before he walked in the ring

 

So, why wouldn't you favor anyone else with a stronger mind to beat him?

I wonder where that idiot "Sangria****" went after I replied to her. :think

 

Green and Tucker had really good chins

Tillis fought a smart, disciplined fight and was in awesome shape for him - 207.5. Weaver and Shavers, a trememdous puncher, couldn't stop him either.

What about Tyson/Berbick. Berbick was known for his durability and he got destroyed.

Anyway, prime Tyson was much more than just power.
