    Would a prime Mike Tyson have defeated all his losses, and would he have gone on to become the greatest heavyweight champion in history if he had kept his trainer and was drama free?

    Yes he would have defeated all his losses, but would he have been the greatest heavyweight of all time? Thats an another question. Possibly

    Prime Tyson lost to Douglas, point of this thread? That, that Mike had one punch KO power doesn't mean he is the greatest.

    None.

    Holyfield always troubles Tyson, IMO
    50/50 on Lewis..

    Douglas get's KTFO & the rest besides the ones already mentioned.

    Holyfield would whip any version of Tyson's ass, Hoylfield wasn't prime either when they fought. Holy took Tyson back behind the woodshed and taught him a lesson about being a man.

    I think might have had troubles with Lewis, but a disciplined primed tyson would have probably beat Holyfield.

    I would probably say it is very much a possibility. Douglas, Williams and McBride can say that they beat tyson in their careers but not much more.
    Douglas had a few good wins to his credit before that but i will use a saying that i hate they had no right beating tyson.

    I don't think he ever beats Holyfield. Holyfield owned him.

    I think he would've avenged his losses but as far as being the GOAT at heavyweight? No I don't think so. I can see Mike of '91 beating Holyfield by decision, Lewis by late stoppage, and everyone else by ko. '91 Holyfield ain't bullying Mike like the '96 version was able to do imo.

    He'd obviously beat Williams and McBride, that's for sure.

    Douglas doesn't get enough credit for his win, he'd have beaten a lot of good heavies the night he fought Tyson. Unfortunately for Douglas he only ever showed up that commited once in his entire career so I suspect a fully trained and focused Tyson would beat him yes.

    Lewis and Holyfield....**** knows. I do know that Tyson of 86-89 would have done a damn sight better than the older version that actually fought them did. Would he beat them? Dunno but I think he'd have a better chance of beating Lewis than Holy, whereas I don't think any version of Holy could beat Lewis.
