Yes or No: Usyk would have beat every opponent Tyson faced pre-Douglas.

It's the ONLY tongue, squire.

The actual language spoken matters not a jot. It's the profound eminence of our word.

Our truth tongue is godly and truly universal. It's understood by every living creature to ever have lived on planet earth. Even Dinosaurs know our tongue...

If we say things, are, they are.......

 

I would like to offer my aide to UTV from the US, we'll keep these fools in check!

 

Again, the wins aren't there. You have used the word "fact" incorrectly. It is your OPINION that Tucker is underrated.

 

Not all of Tyson's 38 opponents are up for consideration.
But from Trevor Berbick, so on.
IMHO, Bruno (after the Berbick fight) and Marvis Frazier (before the Berbick fight) would have the best chance.
Usyk would also beat Tucker and Smith on points.

 

I think that he does, but I also agree with the forum that some of those guys would stick around for a bit longer than they did against Tyson. Spinks for one in particular would have a much better time against Usyk (though I reckon he'd still lose) than against Tyson.

 

Exactly. And if you look at all these fantasy match ups with Usyk vs old time greats, they are always brining the worst version of Usyk vs the best version of his opponent.

What these guys don't get is that prime Usyk will have a huge advantage in almost everything against this past great fighters.
He won't be giving 20 reach, 15-16cm. height and huge weight advantage, and won't be 19 months older than them, and also 37,5 years old a shadow of his former self.
Yeah he will give some advantages away, but prime Usyk, aka Gassiev, Glowaci, Huck fight, will have cardio for 24 rounds on the highest possible pace, best footwork in the history of the business, and speed equal to Kawazaki Ninja.

And Mike Tyson would be a midget next to Usyk. He ain't going to land a thing on him, and will be gas out by the 5-6th. round. Let alone any of the Tyson opponents.

And if you stop being a fanboy and look at all of this old time great, their technique is nowhere near top level. They hold their feet for way too long, and their guard is wide open. Also constantly lowering their hand, good luck with that against modern fighters.

 

It doesnt matter. It means nothing. Tyson would have beaten Douglas, so what? he lost anyway.

 

Easily.
And Tyson was a roided hype-job brand.
Easily beaten by Holyfield and Lewis in 'superfights', fighters who are also overrated. Holyfield got stopped by a MW and Lewis got stopped twice by journeymen.

 

That might be the understatement of the week. Spinks was a practically a statue. Good call.

 

Ion know if he would've beaten Spinks..................Ion think he would've beaten the best Holmes either (neither would Tyson), although he would beat "that' Holmes Tyson fought.

 

Yeah none of them would be much of a challenge for Usyk at his best

 

Usyk not having to give physical advantage does not imply that he would be more dominant. Usyk arguably had an harder fight against Briedis than Joshua. According to himself Beterbiev was his toughest opponent in the amateur despite being lighter. I guess it's not silly to think that Frazier or Tyson would be tougher for Usyk than Joshua or Fury
