Perhaps Louis scores an early knockdown. Then Tyson, like he did so many times, shows his heart and comes back from adversity and wins.

Tyson had all tools to stop Louis: speed, power, combinations. Louis was enough hittable and chinny for Tyson.

Agreed. And Louis had the all the tools to stop Tyson.
Which one is more likely to come back to win if he got in trouble early?

Not sure either way.

If Louis is still there after an early onslaught he would likely go on to stop Tyson. But if he starts slow as he often did then Mike can stop him early.
