I agree that pre prison Kevin Rooney trained Tyson beats them, but I think they beat washed post prison Tyson maybe even Tyson after he got with Don King and dropped Rooney.
Mike Tyson says he would have beat Fury and AJ in his prime

i was a bit hyperbolic on the washed part, but early 20s mike, absolutely. also if washed mike shows up against the worst versions of fury and AJ, im calling those 50/50

The jab of taller fighters neutralized Mike Tyson. Wilder doesn't have a jab.

Imo he could get on the inside with both and take them out. Fury can fight some on the inside and uses his size well but a prime Tyson potentially only need a few clear hits to floor him. Fury doesn't like fast pace either, I guess it depends on how much he could make Tyson hesitate. Would his feint heavy style and footwork do the job?He has an awkward jab but not sure if it's powerful and fast enough to trouble Tyson for long. Tyson would also rip his body merciless and Fury's form is flabby enough to slow down from those shots, might even get knocked down from a big body shot from Tyson.
AJ has an educated, sharp jab, potentially could hurt Tyson with his straights and uppercuts but too open to get countered, don't think that he could outbox Tyson for long and Tyson sooner hits him with something big in the pocket than AJ hitting him. AJ improved asa boxer since the Ruiz loss but Tyson is a lot better at basically anything than Ruiz and also brings pressure and AJ still looks shaky in the pocket against shorter, compact opponents, his defense falls apart a little up close. Povetkin also tagged AJ with some good shots before folding. So while AJ seems to improved on his boxing and probably does better against pressure than a few years ago, a prime Mike would be too much for him imo.
If Tyson gets in the pocket he'd have his way with them and I think eventually he would.
