Chances are the best Tyson knocks out the best version of these men. The likelihood would of course vary from fighter-to-fighter, but I would install Tyson as the starting favourite for all of these fights.

So would I but I think Bonavena would make it a war and am not convinced Tyson could stop him.

I think Machen could win over the distance . . .he'd frustrate the hell out of Tyson and put together eye-catching flurries for the judges.

I'd also think the very best Walcott comes up from some KDs to beat Mike.

I'd favor Tyson over the rest. Bonavena though would be interesting as he'd make it a war and he had a granite chin. Ditto with Lyle, who at his best could fight on the out and inside, but I think Lyle's porous defense lets him down here.

Walcott is the only fighter I see here that would have any kind of realistic chance against Tyson to me. I think the rest of them would get either knocked out or thoroughly beat up.

Tyson-Lyle or Tyson-Bonavena would be the most entertaining, for sure.
