I’m watching just for the car wreck scene. Although if he comes out and does a three to five round fight he still has that knockout power. So he has a chance against some of the guys his size and weak chins. Not the super heavyweight type fighters though

He could take any of them out if he landed one clean.

Presenting the new AEW Television title at the Double or Nothing PPV tomorrow night. Obviously not the same as seeing him fight but I'm hoping to see him get involved physically like he did with Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold way back when.

Wouldnt mind seeing him fight Ruiz or Kownacki but the Gypsy King would easily handle him.

Gipsy Kings?
Think of a taller, fatter, tougher Brad Pitt from Snatch.

I've seen the idea floated of exhibitions against Evander Holyfield, Ken Shamrock and Shannon Briggs. All of those guys are way past their primes but not gonna lie, I'd tune in....
Have you seen Evander lately? He's a stone's throw from Joe Biden cognitively speaking. It's sad.

I think all those top 10 contender types could probably handle him but everyone below that would likely be a good fight.

Probably, would be interesting. Tyson never went up against 6'8 guys, he did fight and handle guys who were 6'5. None of today's top heavies have faced a guy with the head movement, hand speed, and power that Tyson brings. In rounds 1-3 I think Tyson could take any one of them out. Beyond that, he gasses and gets pummeled.

Anyone with a great jab would destroy him. Think Fury. Someone like Wilder though? If Tyson were to get inside, those short, quick hooks to the body with an upper cut? Yeah...I think Tyson could still take a guy like that out.

Fury would give him fits because of his jab, size, movement and defense. I agree that Tyson could handle Wilder, who'd try standing and punching with him. Wilder's shown he doesn't have a great chin.

Wilder isn't a technically sound boxer either.

Kind of an off topic bump but Fury Wilder 2 replay is just starting on FS1.
