That was joke right? Tyson's an old timer? Boxers have better nutritional science/training methods today? I guess it doesn't really show since most of the HW division are fat asses who can barely throw a punch properly.
Lewis beat a shell of Tyson, furthermore a peak Vitali got his faced ripped apart by an inactive, out of shape 38 yr old Lewis, so your point is quite moot.
Prime Tyson, I reckon, is the kind of guy you'll be able to drop into any division for decades to come, and he'd still be a force.
The only thing that's true is your nutrition statement. Your training methods comment is ****, Manny Stewart has been using the same training techniques for years, little adjustments for the Klitschkos but basically the same training Hearns recieved. Usain Bolt is breaking all kinds of records using similar training methods to that of Owens.:deal As for your genetics comment, it's taken approx 250,000 years to evolve to this point, and you think genetics have made a big leap forward in the last 30? Let alone the fact that Tyson only has 10 yrs on Wlad and 6 on Vitali.
Course you do. Wlad would get wrecked. If Chageav at one point made him actually back up just imagine what Tyson would do. And Chageav just slipped, weaved, reset back on the outside with no activity. He didn't have the temperament. Real Tyson brutalizes him. Vitali would lose too, probably on cuts but not loss in as devastating fashion.
Tyson would be dangerous, would have won a championship, and yes he has a good chance of beating a Klitschko.
Tyson is definatley top of the division with at least one belt...... I dont want to hear no klitschko crap, YES they are good fighters with the resumes to back it up, but lets face it, they dont have the flair and EXPLOSIVE finishing power in BOTH hands that tyson did..... 88 Tyson easily finds the path through wlads jab & gets close enough to let the bulldozers find their target, wlads brain would be rattling aroung his skull & he'd still have a headache 4 days later... I'm Ukrainian & as much as im proud of the Klitschkos for their achievements AND being from the same country as them, they are BORING as hell to watch & their Offensive-style is way too bland compared to the Ali/Frazier/Foreman/tyson of yesteryear.........And anybody who thinks otherwise doesnt deserve to be a part of boxing
Sure he is :rofl I guess you forgot the way Axel Schultz & Tommy Morrison totally outboxed the the second version of Foreman. In fact, Michael Moorer was throughly outboxing George too until he got careless.
The 80's heavyweight division is comparable to todays climate, terrible. Tyson would Bruce Seldon him. Wlad would be so intimidated of Tyson, it would make his fight with Peter look like nothing. Wlad has never shown to be tough when his oppenents are aggressive and start to land. This does not bode to well for Wlad. Vitali is the only fighter that I think has a chance against prime Tyson, though his lack of speed and the fact that he backs up to avoid punches instead of slipping to the side. I think will leave Tyson some openings. I see Tyson having trouble getting past the jab at times, but I do see him landing enough to win a decision on the cards.
