Do you think Tyson in his prime could have beaten any heavyweight in history? If not, then who do you think could have beaten him at his prime?

Might as well answer one of these posts seriously:

I agree prime Tyson was about 21/22, I certainly don't think that he was the all time pinnacle of heavyweight boxing though.

I also think it's important to mention that simply because I think somebody would've lost to a prime Mike Tyson, that doesn't mean I think they in their prime were worse than the best version of Mike Tyson. 3 examples for me are Larry Holmes, Wlad Klitschko, and Tyson Fury. I think all of those guys would lose to a 22 year old Mike Tyson but I think overall all of them were better fighters in their prime, it's just that stylistically I think he'd be a nightmare for all of them.

The fighters I think would beat prime Mike Tyson:

  • Muhammed Ali
  • Lennox Lewis
  • Vitali Klitschko
  • George Foreman
  • Riddick Bowe
  • Ron Lyle (little wildcard)
  • Joe Louis
