    In answer to your question.....

    Neither.

    Convicted ****** with serious mental issues vs Hamed [I'm not even going to rant here]

    Then again, boxing does condone and encourage drug cheating, so why not induct both :hey

    Tyson on his best day would beat Bowe IMO, who was hittable and not granite chinned IMO. I'd tend to think Tyson would bust him up, Bowe was brilliant that night but if he got into prolonged exchanges with Kid Dynamite he'd get stopped IMO. Best bet would be to stick to his wonderful jab, which je sometimes forgot, and to use his expert in fighting skills to catch Mike as he languishes in close range (people forget Tyson threw from just inside mid-range and wasn't that brilliant an in-fighter. Bowe ripped shots in from close far more impressively than Mike IMO)

    Holy I've talked about.

    The best Lewis beats the best Tyson IMO.

    I've started to lean towards Louis against Tyson, even though I've previously felt he didn't have the physicality to takes Mikes best. I just think The Brown Bomber would land first: Tysoncould always take a shellacking, but Louis' combinations are something else.

    Big George is 50-50; although I think the Foreman that fought FraIer would do a similar , if more prolonged and whilst suffering damage back, beating to Tyson, although Tysons handspeed might be the difference.

    Ali I change my mind on all the time. He might be the greatest (well, joint top with Louis) but styles make fights. Pre-Exile Ali would probably beat him IMO, but I always think of the Hell Frazier gave him when Ali was still undefeated (though obviously not quite as sharp as pre-Exile Ali)

    Holmes would jab his head off. I don't think Larrys claims of him having no prep whatsoever are true, but he was not at his best that night.

    Kid Dynamite KO 2 Marciano, KO 1 Patterson, KO 1 Dempsey.

    Prime Tyson was an awesome spectacle though; even in retrospect, a truly formidable fighter and the true 'what if?' of recent boxing history.

    He was a phenom for a few years but, even without all the **** ups, I'm not sure he had a style that would have worked much past 30.

    Tyson has admitted he was a 4 round fighter because of the stamina problems he had. He honest enough to say that. He was a damn good 4 round fighter at that.
