So long as we're entertaining fantasy matchups vs. Tyson...this is the fighter I'd run him up against:

Come on, George?  his two TKO losses were against Foreman and Frazier. His biggest win was probably against Quarry, which is who I would compare him with. He had a big heart and one of the best chins, but did not have the firepower/skill to beat a top contender or champ. It would be an interesting fight, but I don't think he would have the firepower to stop Mike.

i have no idea who would have won bwtn chuvalo and tyson but buster friggin douglas beat tyson in his prime so i dont think you can really for certain that any competant boxer from the past couldnt beat him

I'm not saying anyone from the past couldn't beat tyson. I'm sayin Chuvalo is cheaper version of Jerry Quarry, and I think Quarry would not be able to handle a prime Tyson. And yes Buster "beat" Tyson in his prime, not his best fight but in his prime. And Technically Buster lost that fight, watch the 8th round knockdown and you will see the ref blew the count, and blah blah blah tyson lost and deserved too with his performance, but he Ko'd buster in the 8th and in my imaginary little world ;D

I still loved to watch Iron Mike's crazy ass fight people. It was sad towards the end when he was getting knocked around, but in his early days, intimidation being the factor or not, his fights were fn to watch.

I would love to see boxing make a comeback like it was in the old days. Nothing was better than a good heavyweight fight.

Yeah I'm looking forward to it, also Andre Ward vs. Sugar Poo on showtime.

And this tidbit, I'd love to see this fight.

I really havent watched a boxing fight in a while, but Mack is pretty good from what i've seen.  He's Calm and waits for his spots, great power when he wants to let the fly.  LOL STreetfight
