Who could beat Mike Tyson in his prime?

Question

We know it won't come to reality but.....place Tyson in his prime against any boxer.

I find it hard to believe Tyson would loose. And the Buster Douglas fight holds claim to the PHANTOM 10 count. Go to www.YouTube.com and see the Tyson v. Douglas fight and you'll see the ref skip the 8 count completely. He went from 7 to 9 basicly

Answer 1

Ali would have a 50/50 chance of beating Mike
Louis would have a 65/35 chance
and maybe Liston would have a chance at beating a prime Mike also.

For everybody else the only way could win is if Tyson beats himself, by improper training and lack of motivation.

Answer 2

I feel the majority of the great heavyweights of the past would have an advantage over Tyson. However, a style like Joe Frazier's, for example, would have difficulty against Tyson just like it had difficulty against Foreman. And Frazier is clearly one of the great heavyweights. Frazier himself was a devestating puncher, but he also took punches while moving in. I'm not a big fan of Tyson, but he had very well timed punches, and he was an absolute killer (really a scary person). There was never a boxer that could have afforded to take punches from him. He might have beaten Frazier similar to what Foreman did several times.

Answer 3

Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, Evader Holyfield, Sonny Liston and Lennox Lewis.

Answer 4

Evander Holyfield , Buster douglas

Answer 5

there is only one, rocky marciano,he never lost and could punch like a steam hammer,i saw some of his fights and he was indestructable,he would be covered in blood but when he hit his opponent that was it lights out,one match i remember he hit his opponent in the ribs with one blow and broke 6 of his ribs,mohamed ali had one of those exibition fights with him were you only hit the body,after ali came out of the ring he said he couldn't lift up his arms after ,ali remarked later that he was glad that rocky wasn't around then,i think rocky was in his late 40s then,and ali in his mid 20s.do yourself a favour and get a dvd about rocky (not sly stalone)and se what i mean,he would have beaten all of the above boxers mentioned.

Answer 6

A well trained well coached Mike Tyson; the answer is nobody.

Answer 7

Just about any good heavyweight could beat Tyson. Name me even one outstanding fighter he ever beat? He ruled the division when the division was at it's weakest.

Answer 8

Robin Givens.

But seriously, Ali and Frazier could probably give him the most trouble.

Answer 9

Ali would but i agree with you no one else especially not lewis who beat tyson when the postman would have beat him.

Answer 10

hmm i would say mohammed ali could kill tyson when ali was in his prime actually if u think abt it he was always in his prime lol
