AJ has the reaction time of a stop sign....Vlad is worse than that.
Lummox Lewis...pulls straight back into punches...that's what he got blasted by SMALLER journeymen.
POOR

TIME
Joshua & Deontay are both Olympians. How many people did Tyson face with Deontay & Joshuas height? With their experience?. Wasn't Tyson an alternate for the US team?.
You didn't get people that could guage the distance as well as having a superior size advantage in those days.
In layman's terms big men where bums compared to post Lewis. Facts.

Tyson was a bob and weave fighter.
He'd be inside behind left hooks before those Super heavies could react.
Today's overrated big guys do not gauge distance well AT ALL because they lack REACTION time.

In Tysons day & age you didn't get Super HW's dominating Olympics and championship belts. They might have had reaction time but they could not box compared to this era.
Today's big men are way way way way better than their predecessors.

Were McCall or Rahman considered "Super HeavyWeights" when they jaw jacked Lewis?
I'm just asking.
Yeah, there is a jump in the size, but relative skill level can be debated, and I think Tyson gets downplayed quite a bit at times on here.
I'd probably favor these big HW's over him, but at his peak, Tyson I feel could trouble anybody fighting today.
It's fantasy fight shit, so who's right or who's wrong is in the bushes.

Trick question, Wilder would run and hide from a fight with Mike, just like he did with K2. He's a disgrace to the HW division and boxing in general. His only real accomplishment was smacking up that internet troll.
Ask yourself this though, what do u think Tyson would've done to Charlie?

[QUOTE=StudentOfDaGame;17643386]
6 foot 5 guys like who?. Did they have amateur pedigree like a Bronze or Gold in the Olympics?. Tyson @ 5 ft 9 would get put in a stretcher by both these beasts. It's a different era.
[QUOTE]
Tucker, Green, Biggs were all 6'5" and seasoned pros when they fought Tyson. Tucker would later go on to fight the distance with a prime Lewis, so applying your logic, either Tucker was that good or Lewis was overrated, choose one.
Biggs was an Olympic Gold Medalist, he beat Lewis in the amateurs and had over 100 fights. So there goes your amateur pedigree argument.

Originally posted by bluepete View PostTyson had great headmovement, and that would've nullified the reach of both men here. Neither has delt with anything like the ferocity of Iron Mike. Joshua goes the way of Bruno for me. Wilder has the big straight right, but I'd expect Mike's perpetual motion to disarm it ala Bonecrusher. He might do a Ruddock and have a shoot out for a few rounds. But I think Mike knocks him spark out.
