    Only Foreman and Ali would beat him.

    As long as he was in good physical and mental shape.

    A prime Tyson loses to Ali,Foreman and Holmes but beats the rest. Quite feasible that Young takes him the distance.



    And yes he would've been top 3 at some point.

    Quite agree with you. Holmes never came into prominence until the last two years of the 70s.

    Prime Tyson beats 70's Ali. Foreman would be tough too. Everyone else he splatters Friday The 13th style.
