🚨 Teddy Atlas names British heavyweights that could beat a ‘peak’ Mike Tyson

Posted by

Teddy Atlas worked with Mike Tyson at the very start of his boxing career.

Tyson is a boxing icon and blew everyone away in the 80s before being shocked by James ‘Buster’ Douglas in 1990.

He became the youngest ever heavyweight champion at 20 years, 4 months and 22 days, a record which looks unlikely to be beaten despite the number of world titles now available.

Atlas, 68, has given his thoughts on how a peak Tyson would have matched up against the current crop of British Heavyweights and suggests they all pose different problems to the ‘former baddest man’ on the planet.

Speaking to CanadaCasino.Ca he gave his assessment on the fantasy match-ups.

On Anthony Joshua vs. Mike Tyson:

“If the other guys were good enough to beat them, the guys today would be good enough,” Atlas said.

“I mean, Joshua would have a tough time, because Tyson could get to him and catch him. But Joshua also could have a chance to catch him on the way in, but I think Joshua would be an underdog in that when Tyson was at his best. With Tyson’s speed, with his elusiveness, he could get in and have a chance to land one on Joshua, where he’d have a chance to hurt Joshua.

On Tyson Fury/Daniel Dubois vs. Mike Tyson:

“With Fury it would be a little harder.  I think Mike Tyson and Dubois would be really interesting, because I don’t think people realize how solid a puncher he is.

“He’s a thick, really good, solid puncher almost like a George Foreman, blunt force type puncher.”

How do you think the fights would have played out? Let us know in the comments.
