Wlad Klitschko has no advantage at all over a prime Mike Tyson. And it's not because prime Mike Tyson was unbeatable but because Wlad Klischko's style is exactly the style tailor made for a prime Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson had a great chin, handspeed, head movement, and the ability to knock you out with either hand. Mike Tyson also can fight on the inside so Wlad wouldn't be able to hold him either. I don't think this fight would get out of the first round.
Prime Mike Tyson was 23 years old kid, too green to beat Klitschko. Also, having aggressive style with short reach and height isn't actually a stylistic advantage over Wladimir. His only hope would be to rush on Wlad but his inside game wouldn't prevent the clinch (Tyson also couldn't fight on the outside). His chin isn't actually a Wach-level chin. Not even as good as Povetkin's I'd say. Tyson also wasn't exactly the type of fighter that never quits. Klitschko knocks him out mid or late rounds, routine job.
Tyson's power is overrated. Mitch green, james tillis, bonecrusher smith, and tony tucker all went the distance with him. He would always have problems with a big guy with skills. When tyson can't knock Wlad out, and starts to get peppered by Wlad's jab and tastes Wlad's bazooka right hand, he'll mentally crumble.
they were all clear cut Tyson victories. Does a points win not mean anything to you? now you needto apply what happened to the above guys, to the situation you are trying to describe, rather than contrive the opposite meaning from what you just said.... you are arguing that green, tucker, tillis, smith all beat tyson. In other words you took the evidence, and assumed it meant the opposite of what it proves.
:deal tyson was nothing but a bully. Crumbled or tried to cheat or foul every time a real man hit him back.
It proves that Tyson isn't the invincible KO machine that his naive fans try to portray him as. If multiple big guys went the distance with "prime" tyson, I wonder how people came to the conclusion that tyson could possibly "destroy" current Wlad in a round? Tyson always had trouble with big guys who could use the jab and weren't intimidated.
yep, the klit****s read the evidence and make the opposite interpretation. so when they write wlad wins, they actually must mean Tyson kos him fast.
Tyson by annihilation. inside 5 rounds...quite possibly the 1st or 2nd. Wlads a great fighter but prime Tyson and Wlads chin don't mix. Tyson also could fight up close when Wlad would try his huggy bear impression.
