Hard to say . With the " advances in medicine " and training facilities , even diet he would be outnumbered in the ring . If all were equal...Holyfield . He had the heart/guts and the jaw in his day . He has proven this . I think the young Tyson might have had a chance , he was strong and studied old boxers .

Jack Johnson was a ring tchnician would great boxing skills and a great defense. I believe that Evander Holyfield would have given him a challenge but Jack would still prevail. I believe that Jack would have cleanly outboxed Tyson, Bowe, Foreman, Moorer, Lewis, Ruiz, or any of these guys today. I believe that Jack was definetly better than anyone over the last 20 yrs.

Jack Johnson would have been a simple journey man in the time of the begining of Tyson's first reign until the retirement of Lennox Lewis.

I think a pre-Don King Mike Tyson might have given Johnson a fight, but Johnson still would have prevailed.

Holyfield is the only I see that could have given him a good fight.

Let's go with Holmes and Holyfield. Go back 10 more yrs and add Ali.
