I would have to say, he would still be the king of the ring. Boxing has been declining for years, tyson and Holyfiled were the last really tough ones If u know what I mean. The golden era of boxing has gone and we are left with a couple of medicore boxers and that is it.
I would say Tyson would have had more problems box in the 80's and 70's.

Great question! A young pre-King Mike Tyson would rip through this present group of Heavyweights with such rigor, they would all run and hide and have to be sued to have to fight Mike. The only Heavyweight out there that would manage to give Mike a problem, and what I mean by problem is this. In my opinion, Mike would lose a little bit of focus and might get frustrated with Wladimir Klitschko's style, Wladimir still has a little bit of that old Soviet Union, Eastern European style.
Wladimir keeps the majority of his weight on his rear foot and paws with his jab. The other thing he does quite well is, he uses his height effectively. It would be kinda tough for Tyson to land one of his huge hooks early on and Klitschko would have some success in keeping a young Tyson off him.
Mike would kill Klitschko's body and we all know that Wladimir has no chin and all it would take is a grazing blow from a young ferocious Mike Tyson until this bout would be stopped.
Thanks again Melinda for the great question.

If Tyson were in his prime fighting now he would be the Undisputed
Heavyweight Champion the only fighter he would have a problem with would be Valuev cause he wouldnt be able to reach his head.He would be to fast and to strong for any of these bums

He'd have a field day. someone like Tyson would be a breath of freah air for a splintered and somewhat boring division.

If Tyson was back in his prime, he would Smoke the opposition out there.

He would clean out the heavyweight division. IF THEY WOULD MAKE A MATCH WITH HIM. The 4 heavyweight champs don't seem to be in a rush to fight each other.

He would bring the title back to America.

He will rip them apart... If he doesnt get the job done with his hands, he'll use his teeth.
