    I'd love to see Tyson getting inside, and Wlad having a panic attack.

    Wlad has different style than those tall b level fighters tyson fought in the 80's. Wlad would grab and clinch tyson just like he did with haye. Watch first 2 rounds of tyson-lewis fight to see how it would look like. ofcourse tyson would land some nice punches here and there but they wouldn't have that power on 2 m tall wlad that had on guys like berbick or spinks.

    I bet on Wlad last night (although was supporting Haye), I think he's a good boxer, with great attributes and clearly better than Haye. However, I think he get's beaten by all 3 in their prime.

    He has most chace Vs Holyfield. However, Holyfield managed to get around Lewis's jab and I don't see it much being much difference with Wlad.

    Prime Tyson, would be able to truly slip the jab (Haye last night was pulling his head back to slip as opposed to side to side so was even further away from Wlad to counter) and then be explosive on the inside i.e. KO. However, the Tyson that fought Lewis, I think Wlad handles him like Lewis did.

    Lewis clearly wins. Even if you have the argument that they are a similar level of skill and ability (which I don't buy), Wlad throws jabs by the vast majority, Lewis throws jabs and combos. 1 hand Vs 2!

    I do admit though, that the issue is that Wlad has been so much better than his opposition that we have never seen him in the trenches. That means people (including me) are maybe underestimating his ability to come through a war. All 3 of these fighters would make the fight a real "fight" and I think people are dismissing Wlad based on the fact they/I don't think he could win a "fight".

    The problem is no one has been able to challenge him enough to put the pressure on, him to come through it and answer the doubters. The only times he's been pressured he's been KO'd and you can only go by what you have seen in the past.

    Holy would go into a fight. Slight chances that he will win, though. Most likely he will receive a lot of hits for 12 rounds and lose.
    Lewis more likely would win, though it is hard to predict, since they are very similar style.
    Fight with Tyson... He had quite good arguments for the fight, but I never saw him beat a fighter of level Lewis or Klitschko. Yes, he had impressive wins, but against who? Too much uncertainty. Some years ago I would definitely give this fight to Tyson (he definitely could do something that Sanders could do), but now (not after the last night, but in recent years) I would say that Wladimir has a good edge - even though he would show a lot of clinching before he'll break Tyson down. Still, even now I can see a knockout from Tyson.

    Only Lewis would be the favorite. Tyson is too small, even if he was very good in his prime. Wlad's jab is pretty much the best jab in HW history and even Iron Mike would've respected that jab. UD or late KO for Wlad.

    Holyfield would've went to the cards. A close call, but I would give Wlad the edge.

    Lewis could win via KO, but same with Wlad. Like I said, Lewis would be the favorite (60:40).

    People seem to forget how well of a counter puncher a prime Holyfield was ..Wlad would be in some serious trouble ..He's not like Bowe where he can shorten up his punches ..

    Nobody is hating on Wlad for winning. They are hating on him for how he fight against a much smaller man...an ex-cruiserweight champion. They said Haye wasn't as skilled as Holyfield, so why was Wlad so cautious?

    Wlad beats Holy, loses to prime Tyson and Lewis.
