BTN: Who in Today’s Heavyweight Division Would Beat Mike Tyson in His Prime?

Mike Tyson, in his prime, was a knockout machine—fast, powerful, and relentless. But could today’s top heavyweights handle him? Let’s see how they stack up:

Tyson Fury: At 6’9″, Fury would have a size and reach advantage, using his slick movement to keep Tyson at bay. If Fury sticks to his jab and frustrates Tyson, he could win on points. But if Tyson gets inside, Fury might not handle the power well.

Oleksandr Usyk: Usyk’s footwork and technical s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s are top-notch. He’d have to stay sharp, use angles, and avoid getting caught in exchanges. Tyson’s pressure could overwhelm him, though Usyk’s stamina and ring IQ would give him a chance to outlast Tyson.

Anthony Joshua: Strong, powerful, but not as fluid as Tyson. Joshua’s size and power might hold up for a while, but Tyson’s aggressive, fast-paced style would likely wear him down in the later rounds.Deontay Wilder: Wilder’s one-punch knockout power is scary, but Tyson’s defense and ability to close the distance would make it tough for Wilder to land his bombs. If Tyson dodges that right hand, he’d likely take Wilder out early.

Zhilei Zhang: Big and powerful, Zhang could cause trouble if Tyson didn’t respect his power. However, Tyson’s speed and movement would likely be too much for Zhang to handle.Joseph Parker: Parker’s durability and solid s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s make him a tough opponent, but he doesn’t have the knockout power or speed to keep Tyson off him. Tyson would likely win in the mid to late rounds.

Daniel Dubois: Young and strong, but lacking the experience and defensive sharpness to handle a prime Tyson. Tyson’s relentless offense would break him down quickly.In the end, Tyson in his prime is a tough matchup for any heavyweight, even today’s best. Fury or Usyk might have the best shot, but no one’s walking away without serious damage.
