I'd favor him over Marciano, Patterson, and Klitschko

He loses to the rest.

Gets disqualified vs himself

Tyson stands a great chance of blitzing anyone but against the elite it's not so easy...

He loses a fight to Louis. Louis may have to get off the floor but I imagine he stops Tyson somewhere between rounds 8-15.

I'm not sure Marciano's dimensions can see him through. If Rocky can take what Tyson is dishing out then he can impose his will for a late round stoppage. BUT I'd go with Tyson to win in 5-6.

Paterson is an early night. Mike finishes it early.

Liston would put a beat down on Tyson and stop him in 8.

Ali would win a decision or a late rounds stoppage.

Wlad would give Tyson plenty of problems before getting banged out.

You forgot Holmes, Ezz. That's one fight where I'd favour Holmes, but I'd rank Tyson's chances as considerable. Not a safe bet.

Close one.

I like Tyson over the first half of the fight. Holmes later... If I had to choose I'd go for Holmes but you never know.
