Could Tyson land enough to beat Valuev?

Prime Tyson, yes. Suck Tyson, probably not.

 

btw, why is a man who won a title in his 30s (then immediately lost it) called white Tyson? trouble selling tickets?


wonder if we'll ever see a black ruslan....

 

Wass, how old are you? If you witnessed the way in which Tyson destroyed the opposition on his way to the top back in the eighties then you would understand why it is difficult for me to take your thread seriously. Anyone who watched the ease with which he destroyed top quality fighters would reinforce my point of view.
I'm not saying that Tyson didn't have his flaws but his talent level was so much higher than Valuev its untrue.

 

5'11", and about 10lbs heavier than Tyson's best weight when he beat Valuev. I'm sure that made all the difference against his 350lb opponent...

 

Boxrec lists him as 5'11".

 

Tyson would not even be able to reach Valuev, his tiny reach is to small for modern heavyweights.

He would be batted all around the ring. Tyson never fought anyone 6'8" or taller. People today that think great fighters of the past could compete with modern giants, are kidding themselves.

 

So thats why Jess Willard beat Dempsey and Primo Carnera got the better of Joe Louis!! No wait that is the alternative reality that you both inhabit!!

 

Tyson would be a great cruiserweight.

He is just to small to be a threat to the giants we see today.
