    Out of the fighters listed......

    I think Bugner could replicate Tony Tucker's performance and go into survival mode in the 2nd half of the fight and possibly go the distance. Realistically Bugner is the only one I see going the distance due to his cautious style, size, durability.

    Lyle and Quarry I could possibly see lasting until the middle rounds until they eventually get taken out.

    Shavers and Norton get starched very early in the first 3 rounds.

    My ranking would be.....

    1. Bugner
    2. Lyle
    3. Quarry
    4. Shavers
    5. Norton

    Yes poor Ken doesn't really match up well against a beast like Tyson.
    With Bugner im going with, either Tyson gets him hurt fast and early, or we see him getting to the end as he did Frazier and Ali.
    Not impossible but Bugner did show he had survival skills.

    Tyson sometimes had issues putting away bigger Heavyweights who went into survival mode Tucker, Bonecrusher, Green, etc who were all around the 6'4/6'5 mark like Bugner was.

    So I could see Bugner replicating their performances for sure if he weathers the early storm. Tyson wasn't really known for stopping opponents in the 2nd half of a fight.

    That's true.
    And if anyone could go in to survival mode amongst the above it's our Joe.

    Shavers, cause he's the least skilled.

    Shavers is the least defensively capable man here, he gets smashed early.

    Definitely. He’ll go faster than Norton.
