    Was Tyson really that good of an inside fighter? He was cetainly great at mid range, but on the inside he seemed to be easily tied up and nullified by taller opponents.

    That doesn't spell good against someone like Wlad.

    After the tying up comes a break, after the break comes moments of mid-range action including the opportunity for a brutal KO.

    Tyson by early stoppage, if not i could see Wladimir outpoint him. Tyson hasn't really never been 12 rounds against a very good big boxer who arguably have one of the best jabs ever seen in the HW division.

    However i could see a prime tyson struggle against a prime Vitaly due to his awkwardness and his iron chin.

    Prime Tyson got absolutely destroyed by a fat, jag-off, nobody like Buster Douglas.

    It's hard to hnock someone out when they're running around the ring like a little girl

    Not really. Not if you have the skills and can cut off the ring.

    Haye was there in front of him all night. Wlad just didn't want to engage.

    Sorry, but Haye was a complete joke in that fight. It was a waste of time watching it. He took zero chances in that fight.

    Didnt you midget say that Haye will destroy Wladimir and will KO him ?
    You dont have a right to even spell Klitschko name.

    So was Wlad. They both were as bad as each other. Look at the size and power of Wlad and he was afraid to do anything more than throw a few jabs for 12 rounds.

    Haye walked out of that ring without a mark on him. Wlad was in his home town , in front of his own fans and promised Haye would be his 50th knockout.

    It was on him to push for the stoppage but he was content to play it safe and wait till the judges gave him the win.

    You can't say one was the joke and the other wasn't.

    I rarely agree with you, but this is true.

    Wlad didn't do **** in that fight either

    He deserves nearly as much criticism

    If they were both as bad as each other it would have been a draw. Wlad won comfortably. It's hard to pin down a smaller, quicker more athletic guy that has no intention of fighting. By the way I never said Wlad looked good in that fight, but he was no where near as bad as Haye
