With 44 KOs and 50 wins, Mike Tyson is undoubtedly one of the most revered heavyweights in boxing.
Iron Mike or Muhammad Ali? Fans will always debate who is the greatest in their prime.
Tyson, 55, who made his comeback last year against Roy Jones Jr., has had his own thoughts on how he would fare against the best heavyweight fighters.
The fights will be fought by Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, the Bronze Bomber.
Take a look at what he thinks of super-fights.
MIKE TYSON vs TYSON FURY
BACK at his most dangerous, Fury (6ft 9in) beat Wilder in Las Vegas for the WBC and The Ring magazine belts.
Tyson was a Fury fan from before his win. He watched Wilder's controversial draw.
Tyson claimed that he hoped for Tyson Fury in the first fight. He was named after him, so I pulled for him.
"He surprised many people by getting up. He proved he's tough by getting up to win the final round.

"I thought it was over. Then he got up, and it was Rocky. He then fought back.
"It was incredible, it made me a friend. It takes courage and belief."
Tyson, like AJ, said he would beat his nameake if he were in his prime, but admitted it would be difficult.
The American stated: "Listen, if someone asks me if it was 20 years ago, then no, there's not any doubt.
"They are really good fighters, and I respect all their skills. It would have been difficult to fight them."
MIKE TYSON vs ANTHONY JOSHUA
AJ, the current WBA, IBF and WBO champion, bounced back from his shock loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in December 2019 to regain his belts.
Joshua will defend his titles against Oleksandr Uzyk on Saturday. He is a fighter who has many strengths and very few flaws - Iron Mike knows this.
Tyson said earlier this year: "Hey! I really like him. Do you know who he is? He is a breath of fresh, clean air.
"He looks really clean. He's a clean fighter. He's a good puncher.
"You only wish him the best.
"I don’t know. My ego tells me that 'nobody would beat' you, but when you look at him, you see that he is beautiful.
He just looks like a fighter. He seems like he was meant to do the things he does best. He will get more experience, but he is still learning.
Tyson, despite being quite tight-lipped about the occasion - while speaking to his Hotboxin' podcast -- had previously stated that he would easily defeat Joshua.
Tyson answered "Yes" when Tyson was asked if he would beat Fury or AJ. If you ask Tyson if he was twenty years old, then the answer is yes.
"They are really good fighters, and I respect all their skills. It would have been difficult to fight them.
MIKE TYSON vs DEONTAY WILDDER
WILDER lost his final fight to Fury in the seventh round. He was unable to retain his WBC and Ring magazine belts.
However, Tyson was beaten by the Bronze Bomber's hard-hitting style.
Wilder stated: "Me against Tyson in ‘86, I’d kick the hell outta this guy."
"Listen, it's real. People always look at the old school, but I don't think there is any school that I wouldn't be No1 in the world.
Tyson replied to Fury's comments, being typical diplomatic and saying, "I don’t know [if I’d beat him]."
"I love that he thinks this, because that's how I would think.
"He is supposed to think like that, he's the heavyweight champion in the world, and that's something very unique."
Jeff Fenech, Tyson's former trainer was certain who would win...
Fenech stated that boxing is not the same as it was a few years ago. I can guarantee Wilder would be knocked out if Mike Tyson had trained for six weeks.
"He would hit them. Tyson Fury would knock these guys out if he was a good fighter but not a big puncher.
They are not at the same level today. Mike is not on the same level today. I think he could beat these guys if he trained.
"Fury has these other skills but Deontay wilder has a punch and none of them else. It's over if you punch him.
"And Mike, don't miss."
