Mike Tyson vs. Tyson Fury: Froch Picks the Winner

British former champion Carl Froch has shared his opinion on who would win a matchup between Tyson Fury and Mike Tyson.

"Peak Tyson Fury had a good jab, was quick on his feet, and agile. I think Fury could keep him at bay for a while, but if we're talking about peak Mike Tyson, who became the world champion at 20, he would beat almost anyone. The way he got there, he was extremely dangerous. He never stopped throwing punches, accustomed to getting inside the reach. If someone tried to grab him, he pushed the opponent away and threw powerful hooks and uppercuts. If he hit the chin, opponents would lose consciousness. I believe, for me, the answer to this question would be: Mike Tyson would beat Tyson Fury," Froch stated.

Tyson Fury was named after Mike Tyson, his father's favorite boxer.
