prepared for 10 pages of "herp derp he didn't want the fight in 1985, his shit is paid for" as this is very analogous to a pacquiao fight
My honest belief is that Tyson would knock him out in the first round. Perhaps even the first minute. The reason i say this is because, although Tyson is only about 3 inches taller than Mayweather, he is in fact around 70 lbs heavier and this I think would make a difference. Tyson routinely knocked out men much larger than himself. He had tremendous power, in either hand and ridiculous handspeed which would be used to deliver that power. As such, given that he's naturally that much smaller, Floyd will undoubtedly be knocked out cold with the very first punch that lands. So my prediction for this one would be Tyson KO 1
Absolutely...but let's check out who beat him. 6 heavyweights, all of them taller than Mike. That makes a difference IMO. He's been beat by guys that weigh well over 200lbs. Floyd is a 147lb guy at best. Plus he's much shorter than Tyson. No way could Floyd possibly duplicate that feat. As such i have to stick with my original position and say Tyson KO 1 What do you think Loaded (with alcohol) Gloves? You think Floyd could duplicate Lewis' performance for example?
word. Floyd would never fight him. No commission would sanction the bout. But that's why this is a mythical matchup..no?
