Lol no.
An in-shape, sober Tyson is the best boxer ever.

THIS
A boxer with one punch was beat Ali. Tyson by KO obviously. If Frazier could do it, you know damn well Tyson could.

Agreed he would have come at him like Hollyfield..with stradegy and let him wear himself out. Then he would have "ROCKY NOW!" his arse.

Ali beat Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, Joe Fraizer, Ken Norton and George Foreman when he was a beast. Ali all day everyday, people forget how good he was.

Exactly. All of those guys were power punchers just like Tyson, to say Tyson would wipe the floor with Ali is asinine. And Tyson didn't have a chin like Frazier, Norton or Foreman. We didn't find out about Tyson's chin until Buster Douglas because everyone was afraid of him.

lewis and ali were 2 of the best heavyweights ever imo. lewis beat the hell out of tyson - who was past his prime and just there for a paycheck - but tyson also fought guys past their prime. also, the ref in the lewis/tyson 2002 was cheating like hell against lewis

I was so disappointed in that fight because I hoped to see the resurrection of Iron Mike so bad.
After the Buster Douglas fight, Larry Merchant asked "Will Mike Tyson ever get up from this knockout? " He never did, so sad.

tyson never had a chance against lewis. lewis was too big, too strong and technically way better than tyson ever was

Mike was a good defensive fighter, as well as a beast power-wise, when he was with Cus and Rooney.
One of the biggest sports "what might have beans?" to me is what Tyson's career arc would have been if he had stayed with Rooney.

After the Lewis/Tyson fight Lennox said that boxers peak at different times and Tyson had peaked in his early 20's whereas Lewis peaked out much later in his career.

Trick question! Mayweather wouldn't have fought either of them! Everyone knows Floyd only fights people he knows he can dominate in the ring.

So sad, Pac/FM won't fight

I would have loved to see a Sober healthy Tommy Morrison face Mike Tyson in his prime. Talk about a fricking war that would have been.

Boxing and the Heavy weight division in particular were in decline in Tysons heyday. He would have fit right in the 70's.

Another good point, could he have dominated in the 70s with the heavyweight division being as loaded as it was? I think absolutely not.
