Then I've read a lot of genius opinions since joining Sherdog.
with that level of power. Power on the level of foreman, shavers, dempsey, joe lewis
He was the fastest heavyweight ever and would of destroyed Ali and Lewis. A fight with a prime Foreman would have been a classic!
So was Floyd Patterson.
So who wins Floyd vs Tyson in a 12 rds fight.:icon_chee

he would never beat ali! what has he ever accomplished in the ring that leads you to believe he would even have the SLIGHTEST chance with Ali?
I love ali as much as the next boxing fan and would agree he acomplished much much more in the ring then tyson. That being said a prime tyson pre buster fight would have destroyed ali.
it would not have been a good fight as well
130-135 Camacho had some of the quickest hands ever.

Since this thread has begun to call Mike's skills and chances against other boxers into question.
I'll restate what I said in another thread.
Tyson will always be the boxing world's greatest "what if?", and one of it's biggest tragedies.
With the phenomenal physical gifts he possessed, combined with the work ethic, determination, and boxing IQ he exhibited in his early career, he could have remained unstoppable and stood among the all time greats. Maybe even in the top 5 greatest heavyweights of all time. Unfortunately, immaturity, and poor management resulted in his downfall. It's really rather sad to think about the fighter he could have been.
So much wasted potential.

The first thing you learn about asking people Mike Tyson questions on Boxing forums is... Don't bother.
For some strange reason "hardcore" boxing fans don't like to praise Mikes boxing ability. It's a bit like Lesnar in MMA, he could beat Fedor with no remaining limbs, yet hes still just a "big strong guy".
A prime teenage Mike Tyson was the most exciting boxer EVER.
