Would Tyson Fury have the guts to trash talk a prime Mike Tyson from 1985-1991?

    Actually now y'all's got me wondering about a Fury / Mike Tyson matchup. First instincts would be to pick Mike by demolition, but then I start wondering how Mike would deal with Fury's dimensions, reach and mobility. This could actually be a fun one.

    Yes and I also wonder how Tyson would cope with Joshua. The man has almost 2 stone on Tyson and a massive height advantage. Mike never faced anyone this young, powerful and aggressive.

    Fury's best bet is to hold Tyson throughout and stink out the joint.

    Mike Tyson would probably knock him out.
    I think Fury is the best heavyweight around today and his defensive skill and huge size might help him last the distance but I think the size factor is also Fury's downfall because ultimately Tyson would be too fast for '2Fast' Fury.

    Tyson wasn't paticularly insecure; no more insecure than you or me,
    in fact i'd go as far as to say he was less insecure than most people.
    When he was younger he got bullied abit and that depleted his confidence and made him insecure about being bullied, but that was stamped out soon after he started fighting because he knew no-one would be trying to bully him any time soon.
    Then he met D'amato after that and D'amato gave Tyson everything he had not just in terms of boxing knowledge, but pride in himself, Tyson loved himself, he developed an extraordinary ego.
    Tyson had an extreme confidence in himself, that's what comes with being extremely talented.

    What? Don't talk out of your ass and say he hasn't got a chance.

    I think Tyson will UD him like tucker, green, smith or maybe even get a knock out if fury makes an error but even to go the distance fury will have to fight the perfect fight.

    But he is not going to be an offensive threat to Tyson at any point.

    Joshua has not fought anyone on Tysons level, his big muscles will work against him. At the moment he is just like a poor persons frank Bruno

    Absolutely not. Mike would have beaten Fury to a pulp. He'd be as scared as Michael Spinks was.
