    Buster Douglas could do it if he was willing to carry Tyson the last few rounds.

    You don't know that.

    Let's say it's possible he does would you Cross Trainer make Valuev the favourite over Michael Gerad Tyson?

    Under the conditions of this thread, it's quite possible that Tyson fouls him. Unless there's some rule against deliberately being unsanitary that I don't know about.

    You want someone with a good chin obviously. Also proven over longer distances, and being from when much more clinching was allowed would also be a big advantage. I'm thinking maybe Ed Dunkhorst.

    I thought I did, but reviewing my post again, it appears not.

    Body Odor Valuev definitely survives 12 with max clinching rules in effect. I rate the chances that Tyson gets so frustrated with BOV that he fouls out below 50%, but still high. So I still favor Tyson under max clinch rules to beat BOV like he beat Bonecrusher.
