Tyson in his prime. Easily. He was a machine.

Thank you.

People are forgetting 'Prime' here.

You need to take away Robin Givens and Don King - we're talking Tyson with Cus.

Tyson wouldn't be detracted by any of that dancing or Rope-A-Dope crap - he'd bully him like Frazier x100 and knock his head off.

Prime Ali dancing with a jab couldn't keep a prime Tyson always bobbing and weaving and approaching forward being the aggressor of him for longer than 10 seconds.

There’s evasion, and then there’s evading Iron Mike. One good shot, one chink in Ali’s armour, and it’s good night nurse.

I’d be very intrigued by a Wladimir Klitschko v Tyson fight. 8 inches of extra height and 10 inches of extra reach, added with Klitschko’s intelligence and mobility could be enough, as someone else pointed out, for him to withstand Tyson’s attacking rage long enough to tire him out.
