Tyson made 9 defense s before running in to Douglas ,how would he have done facing these Wlad Klitschko title Challenger's instead? 10 opponent s as follows. Chris Byrd Calvin Brock Ray Austin Lamont Brewster Sultan Ibargimov Tony Thompson Hasim Rahman Ruslan Chagaev Samuel Peter David Haye That s 10 opposition over 3 years, would he get through undefeated?
Could run the table and look spectacularly doing so, but I'd actually expect him to pick up a loss somewhere along the way. Underrated lineup.
He`d beat all of them, most of them quickly, Bryd is the only one that would give him any trouble, I feel Tony Tucker would have beat all of these also except for Byrd, Tyson was something else but this was the way to beat him: This content is protected
LOL, they are all tailor made for him...if a green Ike can run thru Byrd Tyson would murder him.......Ibargimov, lol , he has absolute nothing to keep Tyson off him...........the rest are simply slow, plodding , fat cannonfodder.....most would take career beatings or getting knocked out so quick people would scream the fix is in. David Haye would literally soil his pants while his handlers are blocking all the exits so he cant escape.
You mean like Holyfield Briggs and Klitchko just ran completely through Ibragimov?? Because if I'm not mistaken no one completely ran rt through him. So I dont see what there is to laugh about.
Because Holyfield was a 100 years old, Briggs sucks beyond suck and last but not least it shows how shiddy this so called "dominance" decade was when a supposedly super big super strong greatest technique ever, WK stunk the joint out for the whole decade while walzing with this no hoper Ibragimov. Fact : The K brothers conditioned Fly By fans like you that their subpar performances were the new norm in the Heavyweight scene........while both being known more for their losses than wins. But I am obviously talking to a stone wall in you because you are convinced that Marciano would beat Wilder.
And I'm sure your one of these guys that rates Wilder as the best rt hand in history ect ect. Guy didn't even know what to do with 100 yr old Ortiz
Tyson was more aggressive in his prime than all those fighters and Briggs would have been destroyed easily by Mike.
More agressive and alot faster. With a chin so good that it allowed him one of the most agressive and vicious styles in Heavyweight history while being able to rely 100% on his chin to keep him on his feet until he gassed out It's an amazing statistic if you think about how agressive he fought. He didn't suffer any flash KDs from headshots. The guys on the list that are slick enough don't have the power And those that have the Power are just way too slow and hittable. And Haye is just nowhere near good or proven enough as a HW Old Holyfield And 6'6 Wlad don't fight anything like Tyson. Holyfield was never good at chasing guys down, he looked bad even in his prime against Larry Holmes who just waddled from corner to corner. Holyfield liked his bigger opponents to come to him where he quicker Hands, timing and skills would outmaneuver them. Lol at comparing Wlad to Tyson. Completely different styles,completely different personalities. You could tie a guy up on a chair and place him in front of Wlad in the ring and Wlad would still take about 2 minutes to make sure the other guy wouldn't hit him back before knocking the poor guy out.
Obviously Tyson has to be a decisive favorite in each of those fights. But its important to remember that Iron Mike showed vulnerability in several instances before Douglas changed history. He dropped rounds to Quick Tillis, he looked unimaginative and labored at times against Mitch Green, he struggled with Bonecrusher's constant clinching and got buzzed in the final round. Of course Bruno rocked him, and Tony Tucker took him the full 12. There's nothing wrong with any of that, but it does, in my opinion, show the silliness of saying that Tyson would run through all Wlad's opponents without a fuss. Feel free to hate Ibragimov, but he was a durable, mobile, fast handed southpaw. I could easily see him having success against Mike. Chagaev and Byrd could do well too. Ray Austin would get wrecked though, and that version of Lamon Brewster would basically be a target.
A prime bird could beat Tyson from the Douglas fight. Prime Tyson beats all. By ko or dominate dec. N possibly a couple of hiccups along the way.
