Mike Tyson 1988 vs. Wladimir Klitschko 2009

And old Klitschko put in serious troubles Joshua.
Not an easy fight even for a prime Tyson.

 

If Wladimir was hard to get to he wouldn't t have been jumping and leaning over guys backs so often

Note that this was shot Peter in the rematch who moved like he was in quicksand

 

I mean, I think this is within the prime of Wlad because it is 2007. He would use his reach a lot of though, that's a fact.

 

Just putting this out there:

Sanders KOs him in two but Tyson doesn't? Cool story guys.

 

Against who?

 

It could be Tyson, but if you want to be, & be seen, as fair, rational, unbiased, credible-why give a host of superlatives for Mike, & describe *nothing* favorable about Klitchko, just that he also hits hard?
Nothing about his massive size advantage.
No mention of how many years he dominated & was champion.
No other skills, nothing at all about technique.

Even the way you set things up & ask the question is highly unbalanced.

The jab & grab & how much it is allowed is a big question that likely would effect the outcome of the fight.

 

I automatically change my mind, Tyson wins by KO.

 

Is it too easy to say Tyson 88 destroy s both Klitschko brothers in the same night??

 

Sanders is much larger than Tyson with a longer wingspan in a south paw stance throwing straight, not looping, punches against a version of Wlad that had not yet perfected the jab n grab under Steward - the same style of fighting that gave Tyson problems throughout his career. The 2003 version of Wladimir is substantially different to the 2009 version, which is what the OP specified. But you knew this

 

Wlad could improve on what Tucker did and get the UD. He could also wear Mike out down the stretch, yo-yo him with the jab and land the crushing right hand that turns things. I say the above possibilities are more likely than Mike achieving an early blow out.

 

In the same round. As soon as he steps into the ring Wlad's glass chin explodes, and Vitali's face falls off and he dislocates his shoulder trying to catch it. Tyson may not even have to throw a punch.

 

Thank you very much. If the referee enforces a no-clinch fight, Tyson's chances go way up.

 

Wlad fought exactly like that. Against smaller fighters he constantly moved back to muffle their attacks by creating space, will prodding them with his jab and waiting for them to lunge in so that he could land his crushing right straight. And then when he ran out of ring the little guys got the huggy bear treatment. Tyson struggled mightily when fighters tied him up, and against Klitschko he's facing one of the best smotherers.

And yet Wlad beat Peter twice.

 

And yet, Tyson would still do exactly what Sanders did. And your original point about Tyson and Tillis is as loose a comparison as this is. But you knew this

 

WK coudt even do what Tucker did never mind do it better and thats box and move fluidly around the ring on the back foot.
WK cant box and move at the same time like Tucker. Why do you say WK could do things he couldn't? Waiting on an answer
