When Exactly WAS a prime Tyson?? Who would beat Tyson in 1989?

Like the truth did until Mike chined him like he would chin Vlad.fight over.

 

Tysons prime was 86-89. Most heavyweights don't have a longer prime. The difference was, when Tyson started slipping and his defense and head movement took a hit he was a sitting duck for the tall jabbers. His style was taxing, depended on pitch perfect execution and delivery, and unreal athleticism. That's why Manny Steward predicted that Tyson wouldn't be successful past 25/26 before it even happened. His physical dimensions simply didn't allow for versatility, there was only one way he could fight the bigger guys and he couldn't maintain it for long.

 

And I think Tyson-Bruno is a pretty good display of how Tyson-Wladimir would go. Bruno is the closest thing to Klitschko that Tyson fought and he had no trouble with that style.

You just don't beat Tyson with a jab and odd right hand. You need to back him up, and to do that you need to press the action, which Waldo, like Bruno wouldn't do. Too much pressure. He'd try to maintain distance and give Tyson all the space he needs. His offensive limitations would be utterly exposed as Tyson easily slips past his 1-2s and crosses the real estate. You need an uppercut or real good timing on the right hand to nail Tyson coming in and Klitschko doesn't have either. Klitschko would clinch his way out in the first few rounds but eventually he gets cracked.

Vitali has a much better chance.

 

Ya can't go and make a thread about Azzers boyfriend without him jumping right in to defend him lmao

 

Tyson stopped Bruno faster than anyone ever did in brunos career, apart from Tyson!

you appear to be an idiot advancing an idiot argument - that Tyson in doing better than anyone else against Bruno, was (somehow in your warped world) a missed opportunity for Bruno in which he easily could have taken him down...

basically arguing black is white, or trying iceskating uphill.

 

Tyson was his own worst enemy. He caused his own decline by ousting his people and replacing them with his ghetto brothers who dnsab and partied on the big money.
Nobody is to blame but Mike, but hey, kids will be kids.

 

he was prime, but in his prime, he was a loose cannon as the guy says.

 

he became undisputed hw champion at 21, by beating the top titlists and contenders with relative ease.

Next time someone does that fresh outta HIGH SCHOOL, you can tell them they haven't stepped up either. Oh, it wont happen again.

 

Prime Tyson failed to stop Tillis and Green.

 

So?

 

Tillis was stopped several times, but Tyson couldn't get him out of there.

 

And...?

Every fighter ever failed to stop some mediocre opponent, especially early in their career. It happens.

 

cut the guy some slack, Tyson a year out of high school against a full grown fully prime man, and he still won nearly every round against one of them and one sided the other.

 

why are you still arguing that the strongest ever performance against Bruno is a weakness for tyson?

what kind of fkwit are? stay down.
