Mike Tyson vs Oleg Maskaev (2003)

[2128778]

This fight was supposed to happen on the undercard of Lewis vs Vitali at Staples Center in LA, but was scratched due to Tyson's contractual conflicts with Don King (King was threatening to sue Tyson, if he proceeds with the Maskaev bout).

Eventually, Tyson withdrew from the bout and would not return to the ring till July 2004.

But who would've won between Mike and Oleg, had the fight happened?

Maskaev by dec or late TKO, if Tyson wouldn't catch him earlier.

This is the kinda guy that Tyson could definitely catch early, but if he doesn't he gets stopped. I'd go ahead and say if Maskaev is still there at the end of the 3rd, he's going to win.
