Tyson by kayo. Too fast, explosive and hard-hitting for Louis.

Strongly favour Tyson. Better chin, equal (or better) power, fast starter (vs slow starter JL).

Louis is the greater fighter but Tyson is a terrible match-up for him.

Tyson KO r1-r3.

I think Tyson could very well KO Louis inside 3 rounds, however if he didn't Louis would begin to bust him up, and slow him down with his stiff jab and body shots. While he'd be getting caught a lot by Mike he wouldn't exactly be standing still without giving anything back.

So it's all a matter of if Joe can make it past the first 3 rounds while laying in his own effective work. Round 1 is gonna be absolute f*cking hell for him.

I don't know. I'd have to favor Mike.

Could go either way. If Louis could land cleanly early, I think it's a long night for Tyson. If Tyson is slipping them, he could take Joe out early. Peak vs Peak, I think Tyson wins the first fight and Joe wins the rematch and the rubber.

When it looks bad, Tyson reaches down deep and pulls it out like he did so many times.
Just kidding. Louis. He was too fundamentally sound.
