    I mean, there's never been another mt but who (which fighter) reminds you of him?

    My vote: Tito Trinidad knocking fools out
    Juan diaz: the baby bull
    The early Manny Pacquiao at the lighter weights knocking fools out with tysonesque head movement he did.
    James toney in the Rydell Booker fight.
    Allen babic!

    Alexander Povetkin. Very similar style, just not as quick or powerful. Kind of like B grade level Mike.

    Also Daniel Dubois.

    While i can see the Povetkin comparison the Dubois one is just RIDICULOUS :risas3::risas3::risas3:

    Dubois is a stiff robotic guy lmfao

    Comparing him to Mike is just insane

    Dubois isnt stiff, he has quick and powerful punches and is an aggressive fighter. He's no where near the same level, and his defence sucks, and his evasive abilities need work, but it's not a terrible comparison.

    He simply struggled when he cannot KO someone, and Joyce was his worst nightmare as Joyce is a terminator and cannot be KOd.

    No.

    Povetkin never used that peek-a-boo style of Tyson.

    It was similar. Povetkin was an aggressive fighter, who threw similar combinations.

    Show me a fight where he used that Tyson style...i saw almost every Dubois fight since he turned pro and i can't agree with that. The peek a boo style just NEVER showed in his game.

    Povetkin's prime was mid 30s not early 20s and he never embarrassed himself at the end vs bums like Williams and McBride.

    There was some weird HW in the 90s who pretended to be his long lost brother. Even got the face tattoo as well.

    Mike was completely shot at that point though.

    Mike's only prime loss was Douglas, but even that is arguable due to his personal issues.

    He was given a horrendous beat down by a Vegas 40/1 shot true. He was effectively shot after that fight at 24.
