I guess it depends on what time in their careers we are talking about. I think that prime Tyson would KO Wlad at any time of his career. In the McBride time, I would favor Wlad.
Nonsense. Wlad is made for Tyson. Wlad panics and fights scared. That is taylor made prey for Tyson. To win Tyson you need fighter who can handle the pressure. Wlad has shown over and over again that he can't handle it.
See I think prime Tyson has a very good chance (>60%) of KOing a Purrity & Sanders time Wlad. However, IMO he'd have very little chance of KOing prime Wlad. I'd give a prime Tyson a <20% chance winning vs. today's Wlad, that's about it.
Who is this guy Dai? Constantly trashing on K2! Im assuming he has far surpassed what WK has achieved in his career? Does he have a right to make these sweeping statements and criticism's of K2? Just who the **** are u to criticise the greatness of WK? Honestly....You criticising WK is like Kim Kardashian criticising the works of Chomsky! Now your credential's please?
Hmmmm, well I think I would still favor a prime Tyson against prime Wlad. Though I feel that Tyson would have to KO him in the first half of the fight, and if he didn't Wlad would outbox him to a decision. I never really thought about this match up before tonight.
You are wrong, there's no two ways about it. Wlad ducked Chorisa twice and Manny is on record saying he was relieved Wlad got out of the fights. This is a Fact. Manny knew Wlad inside and out and knew what his weakness were. He knew Chorisa would bring pressure and take Wlad into a slugging fest, which is the way to best him. Vatali nearly fell over from going 12 rounds with him after he walked through everything Vatali threw at him. Chorisa might not have won, but its a risk they did not want to take as they knew Chorisa's style was all wrong for him. Now if Chorisa was enough to cause them worry, what the **** do you think prime Rooney trained Tyson would of done to him? Prime Tyson was knocking out iron chinned fighters who had never been knocked out and would go on to never being knocked out again. But brittle chined Wlad is going to brush of blows from one of the hardest hitters in boxing history like its nothing? His stationary stance and 1-2 is going to combat Mike's handspeed , footspeed, upperbody speed and counter punching from angles with bone breaking power? He does not have a prayer. The only punch Tyson was vulnerable to was the uppercut, and Wlad doesnt have that punch in his arsenal. If you cant see how Mike is stylistically a nighmare for Wlad, you're uneduacted. Simple as that.
You have to be joking right? Wlad did not duck Chisora. Wlad fought Haye to unify the WBA belt. If Chisora had beaten Vitali, Wlad would have fought Chisora. However he lost to VK and Haye hence he is out of the picture! It doesn't matter what the Klitscko's do, the detractors will find something to criticize.
Haye /Wlad was years in the making the fight had to be made. Wlad pulled out from Chorisa twice and Manny was thankful the fight never went ahead. This is a fact. It doesn't bother me what you know or dont know.
Prime for Prime, I think Wlad tko's Tyson. Tyson looked amazing against low level opponents cuz he was carefully matched and the hype worked pretty well. Lennox Lewis and maybe Ike are the only heavyweights that would beat Wlad in a prime for prime fight. Actually Lennox This content is protected a prime Vitali , who was a superior fighter than his brother , not to mention about his (Vitali) strong durable chin.:yep:deal
Holmes, Tucker, Spinks, Bruno, Smith, Ruddock, Golota are low level are they? Compared to the over 40, past 50 ranked guys Wlad has beaten and past 100 ranked guys he was beaten by.
