How would he have fared against the likes of:

Ali (After his reinstatement)
Frazier
Foreman
Holmes
Norton

Ali vs Tyson and Frazier vs Ali would've been EPIC. Tyson never faired well if the fight went past 5-6 rounds and against the speed, size, and boxing mastery of Ali I think he tire out and lose, but if he caught Ali with a vicious hook, you never know. Frazier vs Tyson would've been a slugfest, the perfect heavyweight matchup, with Tyson coming out the winner I think.

Tyson vs Holmes (both in their prime) would be more or less the same as Tyson vs Ali, speed and technical mastery vs power (and speed lol). George Foreman I think would've dispatched the smaller Tyson much the same way he did Frazier.

Norton - The easiest of the five. Tyson by wide decision or late stoppage

Ali was prone to lose to sluggers.. he would still win 2 out of 3 against Tyson
Foreman would punish Tyson
Frazier and Tyson is a complete toss up
Holmes prime would frustrate Tyson. I got Holmes
