Who could beat 86-89 Tyson?

Because I don't see anyone else that could match his speed. I just think Ali is the only guy that could mess with his mind. There is a possibility that Tyson had a better mindset when he was in shape. I look at the first round of Briggs vs Tyson as the whole fight against a prime Ali

 

Well I feel you're being incredibly biased. There are at least five people who would beat Tyson.

 

well buster douglas did it.

r. bowe could have stop tyson with that precise inside combos, no doubt.

 

Not biased. Just my opinion. That's all these threads are is for opinion. There no way to factualise anything that didn't happen

 

Don,t speak...atsch

 

Fair enough. I respect your opinion, though I believe you are absolutely wrong.

 

Lol. Could very well be. I thought Holmes would knock spinx out

 

prime Sonny Liston would intimidate and then batter prime tyson. I think he'd ko him inside of 6 rounds.

 

Yes-

Ali
Holyfield
Foreman

Pick 'em-

Lewis
Bowe

They have a chance-

V. Klitshko
W. Klitschko

They would provide a tough fight but come up short-

Frazier
Louis
Marciano
Johnson
Liston
Witherspoon

Don't get mad, but no-

Charles
Tunney
Dempsey
Walcott

 

Liston was good, it would be a great fight. I'll take Tyson though. They both were strong guys with good punching power. Pretty close in size but Liston had a much longer reach. Tyson was much faster, hands and feet. Tyson also had solid wins over big talented Heavyweights, unlike Liston.

 

Wladimir.
Vitali.
Lewis.
Fury.

Any small heavyweights under 6''4' would have had big problems with prime Tyson.

 

I meant to put Holmes' name right under Ali's.

 

Clinchkos have a chance yet Liston doesn't? :huh Lol, This isn't the comedy forum!

 

Muhammad Ali
Sonny Liston
George Foreman (both Prime and Old Foreman)
Joe Louis
Cleveland Williams (Prime)
Evander Holyfield
Lennox Lewis
David Tua
Larry Holmes
Jack Dempsey
Ike Ibeabuchi
Tim Witherspoon
Harry Wills
Jack Johnson
Joe Frazier
Max Baer
Rid**** Bowe
