Mike Tyson, who fought everyone, always on the attack, could take as much punishment as he dished out, is a weak-minded glorified clubfighter. Wladimir Klitschko, who panics every time his opponents throw a punch and clinches every chance he gets, is a dominant champ that would have been a title holder in any era.
mike tyson was a h2h monster till douglas beat him, post prison mike was good but never on the level as in the 80's, wlad does what he needs to do to get the winsand his longetivity is great, eventhough he sticks with a simple style as long as it works why change it? h2h Tyson is a stylistic nightmare for wlad, him and frazier. but both are solid champs that deserve credit for what they have accomplished.
mike was a h2h monster till he fought good fighter, than he got whoped. Hype can only take you so far
Just watch, as the years go by and Klitschko retires, he will be held in the same esteem as Tyson, if not even higher... AND HE DESERVES THAT 100%
I'm sure if Tyson got to fight Fat Peter, Haye, and Ibragimov instead of Holyfield and Lewis he would've kept winning.
Release the hate *******, it will set you free. Just sit back & be happy in that you were around to see Tyson & the Klitschkos make history. Both will have their places among the all time greats.
Who did Doulgas beat outside of Tyson? Tyson is the worst fighter to ever be call an ATG in boxing history.....
Now can i get a hallelujah someone with common sense, Mike Tyson fought better opponents than wlad. Mike fought lennox, holyfield and buster douglas more entertaining and harder opponents than wlad has fought.
Really? Why don't you name a few then dumbass? Was it anicient Larry Holmes that impressed you or was it Micahel "here for the check" Spinks? Maybe the Steve Zouski or Peter McNobody fights impressed you? The fact is you could say the same about every former champion since they've all fought their share of bums.
:nono Iron Mike still has a spot in my Top 10 All Time Great Heavys because he was the youngest and because of the fear he put in his opponents.
Oliver McCall, Page and Berbick were decent wins before tyson, Who the **** did Purrity beat other than Wlad?
