What struck me about Tyson, after he got heavy and his quickness left, was how much punishment he could absorb and how bad he was at avoiding a punch.
I doubt a fight between him and Kimbo would A) last more than one minute and B) be all that entertaining from a real fighting perspective.
Then again, that's how Tyson built his own reputation 20 years ago - pounding overmatched and carefully selected opponents in 45 seconds. Some irony there.
