This ones probably the toughest matchup so far IMO. Tyson beat out the toughest bracket up to the semifinals, and is rewarded with Smokin Joe. Meanwhile, Joe has solidly won each of his matchups so far.

Are we to assume Mike is off his meds for the fight

This one comes down to who has the most heart......and chin.

While they were both known for destroying opponents with body shots, I don't think Joe could stand Mike's left hook to the liver for as long
Tyson's defense was better than Joe's, as long as he wasn't fighting a tall guy with a jab. Joe's defense was kinda one dimensional.....Joe was also very susceptible to an uppercut, another of Mike's bread and butter attacks.

Are we talking both fighters at their absolute peak?

I don't think anyone beats 20 year old Tyson.

Yup, peak condition.
