Mark Hunt is 47. A world striker and was still competing well a few years ago. I actually think he would beat Mike in bareknuckle right now.
Any other MMA fighter in Mikes age range gets smoked

Someone with a boxing background (ie some ammy or pro fights to their name) as I assume t his is going to be in straight boxing not bare knuckle or mma. butterbean?
So no love for Tyson vs. Hunt? I know Mark doesn't have the name of a Chuck Liddell but he's 46 with a chin and power. He'll come to fight. Only 7 years younger than Tyson. It would be a good fight.

Any one of those MMA legends would make an awesome opponent for Mike Tyson in a 5 four round boxing match.
WTF?
Hunt would kill Tyson.
You guys are crazy. Even at 53 Tyson would make short work of any of those guys above in a boxing match. Hunt as much as I love him can’t hang with Tyson level of speed and power. I’d say Probably someone like ngannou or rumble and even still I’d favor Tyson by a long shot lol
Conor. And Conor would beat him easily he's just too old at this point.
Anderson Silva
Didn’t realize Tito was 45. That’s actually the best fight to make.
Hunt is not aged normally so the more I think about that fight the more unfair it is.
dinkledorf -Conor. And Conor would beat him easily he's just too old at this point.
Are you trying to get Mike killed? That would be a slaughter
Stipe
Anderson Silva
Both would get smoked, but better than most suggestions I’ve seen.

Tyson got his ass kicked and quit 15 years ago against Kevin McBride. People need to get realistic.
I wanna see Sagat Petchyindee vs Tyson under K-1 rules.
Anderson Silva makes the most sense. Not too many MMA guys around 200lbs pose enough of a realistic threat in the fans’ mind. Fedor would be a decent choice too.

McBride was a huge, super strong guy in his 20s who was an Olympian and a big prospect early in his career.
You’re right about managing expectations when it comes to a 53-year-old Tyson on a 15 year layoff
