What I don't understand is, how people say Haye is too small for Wlad, yet a Tyson at 5"11 could deal with him, as he dealt with many tall ones.
tyson ko9? he never scored a ko past the 7th round he would storm wlad and ko in the first round spinks style, holyfield would stop wlad and ko 5 for lewis sounds about right
They all would've knocked him out. Lewis probably would've knocked him out quickest because he has the size and the length to get to Wladimir quickest. Tyson would've taken a little longer to get to Wlad's chin mostly because Klitschko would've been scared shitless of Mike's advances so he would've clinched at every opportunity. And Holy takes the longest to knock him out because he would've taken a more tactical approach to deal with Wlad's reach advantage and he's obviously a lesser puncher than both Lewis and Tyson.
So this is where the haters are hanging out licking their wounds talking **** about fantasy matchups which can never be confirmed? Holy would get his ass kicked in and TKO'd within 8-10 rounds. Tyson would be decisioned or TKo'd late as well. Lewis vs.Wlad would be one for the ages & truly an even matchup. Both have strong jabs, big right hands, great left hooks and average chins.
I agree with the Holyfield assesment ..I can see longer exchanges between these 2 as opposed to other 2 based on their power .
The only fighter I have any confidence in Wlad beating is Holyfield. Holyfield struggled with big heavyweights in Lewis and Bowe and nobody utilises his height and reach better than Wlad. Wlads negative style would be the perfect foil for the much smaller Holyfield. Holyfield also lacks the kind of one punch power to really turn a fight his way. Tyson unlike Haye is a natural heavyweight and his style is much better suited to getting into a position to land punches on a tall elusive opponent. Haye tends to pot shot, Tyson throws combinations and has a good enough chin to be willing to take a punch to land a punch. He also knows how to cut off a ring better than anyone else and those who have done well against Tyson have not given ground but stood with Tyson which Wlad would not do, he'd allow Tyson to come forward and fight his fight. Tough one to pick but I'd favour Tyson's workrate and sheer aggression to force a stoppage at some point. Lewis would overwhelm Wlad early for obvious reasons.
