    nah, we havent

    Tyson's from the 1980s before the age of the super-affleets

    Khan befuddles him with his amazing speed and incredible boxing acumen, but because he is such a sweetheart, he takes pity on "Iron Mike" and gently dispatches him with a 3rd round right hand to the soul

    Difficult to call since Tyson never fought any prime Pakistani-British Junior Welterweights

    Didn't he spar with Welters, though? Where he wasn't allowed to hit back at them?

    I think Tyson takes this. IMO, he hits heavier than Prescott, & he beat a few decent boxer types. None on this guy's level, obviously, but still.

    Tyson was a bully who couldn't deal with a jab. What happens when Khan stands up to Tyson and keeps that stick in his face all night long? Khan piles up a big lead on the cards and then knocks Tyson out, that's what.

    I'm honestly not biased. I think Khan would have problems with some of the guys Tyson fought - for instance, I could see Lennox Lewis or Razor Ruddock troubling him some - but this is just an easy matchup to call. And I'm obviously not the only one who thinks so!
