I don't think he could win against the guy that held the Heavyweight title after those guys aged.

Or Earnie Shavers, Ken Norton, Ron Lyle, Chuck Wepner, Oscar Bonavena, Jerry Quarry just to name a few. Hell Larry Holmes Ali's sparring partner used up the division for several years after that group aged. Norton would have been the champion in any other era as could a couple of others. Tyson never sniffed that level of competition. The 70' was the pinnacle of the heavyweight division. Tyson got beat by a light heavyweight for ****ssake. Call Evander what you will but he was nothing more than an overrated light heavyweight~
