But Tyson actually sees shades of a different heavyweight legend in the London 2012 gold medallist, as he explained how Joshua reminds him of none other than George Foreman.
"Joshua reminds me of a young George Foreman," Tyson told Sky Sports.
"He is just wrecking anyone that's in front of him to get to the top. He is demolishing everyone.
"In my mind, it's got to be Joshua early on - and I hope he does it - but if it goes late it could be Klitschko."
Foreman went 40 fights undefeated before his record was blemished by Muhammad Ali in 1974. He retired in 1977, only to return a decade later looking better than ever.
Grilling achievements aside, Foreman will go down as an all-time great in the ring and the way he treated a heavy bag is enough to give you nightmares.

And to receive such an amazing compliment from Tyson, who doesn't throw out comparisons like that lightly, Joshua will be filled with confidence ahead of the biggest fight of his life.
"I am looking forward to this one," Tyson added.
"I'm excited we are going to get to see Joshua. He is just a beast. A big beast."Explore more on these topics:
