Great athelete during a down period of HW’s.
He’d have his workout cut out for him today if he became pro

You watch highlights you don’t watch fights.
You’re an dumbass
What heavyweight today is beating Tyson, Bowe, Holyfield and Lewis?
Even 40 year old foreman is beating most today

And you have tranny breath
But funny enough Foreman was a much better boxer than both Bowe and Lewis
Listen level 
Got beaten unexpectedly due to self sabotage, and faded into obscurity.

No he would clean up today possibly even more. This is still a down period, most of the top heavyweights aren’t better than those of the late 80’s/early 90’s and the best heavyweight just like Holyfield moved up from Cruiserweight.

Yep his talent level is Ali level but Tyson was never going to be as great because of his physical limitations(Height) and also his background he did well to even make it faras he did, anyone who had the background he had would probably suffer from mental health and not be able to be disciplined enough for a sport like Boxing.
It sucks that the people surrounding him were his personal downfall once his trainer passed. Dude main vice was the taste of fame, rather than embracing the hunger and gathering the dollars.
Imagine a hungry Aggy 80s Tyson going into the 90s.
No Don King being a dikkrider, no jawns trying to blindside, and level headed folks telling Tyson to stay focus.
Mannnn dude would probably retired a decade ago with a Mayweather type of record.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Good analysis. I think he had top 10 talent, but height and discipline; his circle basically; were never going to let him be GOAT. I also think if he was too tall (6'1+), he wouldn't have the tangibles that gave him through ferocity he was known for. Catch-22.
