    If a Jean marc mormeck forces Wladimir to hold on like 20 times in one round imagine what a tyson would do.

    If Wladimir and Tyson ever fought it would be Tyson as winner by DQ or KO.

    He"d be champ except for the Klits who are too good for him to walk through like he did guys in his era

    He'd be the #2 or even 1# Vitali is way past his best he would definetely lose against prime Tyson nowadays. Wlad Tyson would be interesting Wlad would be his best opponent beside Lewis and it would be an interesting fight Wlad's problem is his lack of uppercuts. The interesting thing is that Wlad is a taller opponent who throws mostly straight punches which is exactly what Tyson was trained for and Tyson is a short boxer who comes forward trying to get inside which is exactly what Wlad is trained for. I imagine Wlads clinch would bother Tyson but the lack of uppercuts is good for Tyson the only punches he has to look for are jabs straights and a few left hooks but Wlad is great in all of these punches. But it's pretty obvious that Tyson would probably beat everyone except Wlad which would be a hard fight for both, MAYBE onlx maybe Haye has a chance on a very good day but he is probably too small but he would at least have the handspeed the uppercuts and the power to bother Tyson but I think he is too small to beat Tyson maybe if he could put on some weight for a Tyson fight but he doesn't like being heavy

    Tyson was ahead on the score cards in the mcbride fight before he quit, so "technically" he won that fight.....

    Are you assuming Helenius would fight Tyson with one arm as he did Chisora???:patsch:patsch:patsch

    But yeah, even the most confident and healthy Helenius from the Brewster-Peter fights is still a 7-9 rd TKO win for Tyson.:lol::lol::lol:


    And.....NO bigger Helenius fan on this board than I.:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

    85-89 Tyson would be #2 in a division with 08 Vitali, and current Wlad.

    Vitali
    Tyson
    Wlad

    I don't think ANY version of Tyson beats any version of Vitali prior to his 38th birthday.:think

    Wlad OTOH....would absolutely HAVE TO KO Tyson inside 2-3 rds. It'd be very doable but we all know Wlad. He's a purist, a scientist. And unless he came prepared to drop the Steel Hammer down early, like his 3rd punch in the fight, he'd be stopped. Tyson TKO2.:scaredas:

    I think it's obvious Helenius would lose to Tyson, Adamek would get ko'd no doubt he had problems with Cunningham and Chambers because they aren't big slow HWs and Tyson is much faster than Adamek and hits harder and I shouldn't even need to explain, Cunningham is too small and doesn't hit hard and his chin isn't great it would look like Spinks all over again, Fury is improving but just not on that level (yet?), Vitali looked abd in his last few fights (for his standarts), Pulev hasn't got the power and just isn't the right guy to beat Tyson. Who else is there left, oh right Povetkin who isn't a big HW himself and fights from mid- close distance and hasn't good stamina himself I'm not saying he get the Marvis Frazier treatment since he's a much better fighter but he gets Frazier'd after a few rounds

    :deal Anywhere but in Germany Wlad losses via DQ.
    Prime Vitali would be very good fight but Wlad is tailor made for Mike!

    Prime Tyson destroys every HW today, his hardest test being the Klitschkos.

    And there are many fights Wlad should have finished but didn't and Tucker could probably be a contender today, have you seen him fight he was actually a decent boxer
