Prime Tyson vs Wladimir Klitschko

Why don't you try addressing what he stated?

 

Klitchko will suffer the same Achilles heal as he did Joshua.

And that's being pressured into a close range fight and getting blitzed even faster here against an elite counter puncher off opponents jabbing which renders Wlad entirely here.

Only way this goes 12 if Tyson let's Klitchko clinch and doesn't punish him and decides to cruise to a decision win.

This is far from an easy fight however as Klitchko if he does get into rhythm could knock Tyson without question if he can make it out of mid rounds.

The Peter fight will show how difficult it would be for Wlad.

Tyson by K.O round 4.

 

Tyson was one of the best close range HWs of all time. How could a small fighter with small reach whose only goal was to seek and destroy his opponent with short hooks and uppercuts in close be anything other than a close range fighter?
The myth that Tyson was no good in close generated from his later years when he was a slow footed one shot hitman and when uttered by people its usually a sign that they are casual newbies.

Basically an admittance that Wlad doesn't posses the skills to mix it with Tyson for half of a 12 round fight. The likelihood of who would be a corpse after 6 rounds would certainly be Wlad given his history of poor stamina , poor punch resistance and his mental fragility when faced with adversity which also leads to energy drainage.

Hugging Tyson consistently means being up close and personal with Tyson minute after minute , round after round. The odds of Tyson getting off none of his shots to head and body even while clinched are minimal. The odds that Tyson gets off before Wlad gets in the clinch are a lot higher due to his superior speed of hand and foot. Wlad getting caught clean as he reached in with the clinch would end the contest right there and then.

Thats all assuming Wlad would even be allowed to clinch but seeing as how Bruno was almost DQ'd in the second round of the rematch for holding and Jesse Ferguson was actually DQ'd for holding , its safe to assume that Wlad would be without his holding tactics in this fight.

A Wlad who has to fend Tyson off with just his pawing jab which doesn't hit Tyson once , gets one shot dropped with a left hook counter and finished off with an onslaught he has no ability to defend against.

 

Pinklon Thomas endured a savage and brutal beating at the hand of Tyson round x after round before he was stopped in the 6th.

 

Frank Bruno had similar attributes to Wlad. Good jab (not great like WK's) strong right hand (not great like WK's) slightly better on the inside, more fluid puncher with more variety....

Tyson decked him

 

Well that clearly explains what I asked.

 

Funny you'd follow what you said to me with this

 

The only thing Bruno did better than WK was rabbit punch - Bruno was a great rabbit puncher. Other than that it's a joke comparison.

 

Tyson would look like a small boy next to Wlad. Giving up about 8" in height, 9" in reach, about 30 pounds in weight.

Mike would need to land a bomb early. Otherwise, he's in trouble.

In an interview Tyson when asked how he would do vs. the Klitschko's Tyson hedge a bit by saying he doesn't know and every generation of athletes is just a bit better than the one before.

 

Jim Smith managed to tie Tyson up okay. You're telling me prime WK from 2008/09 isn't a league above Smith in every department? WK jabs Tyson to death and ties him up. And prime Klitschko can go 12 no problem, superior conditioning and vastly more experience to 87-88 Tyson.

 

Hot, salty tears.

Put them in a jar for me.

 

Pinklon Thomas was old and washed up and he still neutralized Tyson by tying him up. So did many other people. Wlad would school him.
