bailey is a v.clever person thumbsup Wlad KO8 Tyson - it be like teh Lennox And Douglas fight mixed-up togethar. :deal :deal
Waldo does great till they both meet in the center of the ring and tyson lands either a right or a left. 88 Tyson kills any version of either fighter.
Tyson by KO within 4. The height difference wouldn't matter and Wlad wouldn't be able to deal with Tyson's ferocity, speed and power.
I´m not even a Tyson fan, but looking at Iron Mike in his prime it´s obvious that this man was something very special. Speed, power,technique, defense, offense, he had it all. Wlad is only good as long as he can keep his opponent at bay. And that would´nt be possible for 12 rounds in a fight with prime Tyson. No way Wlad can win this.
I'm one of the few people that thinks Wlad would give most top 10 heavyweights all they could handle, but Tyson is a horrible style matchup for him. Any version of Wlad gets KO'd.
This would look like the Tyson-Bruno fights. Wlad's never faced anyone with the power, speed, bodypunching and accuracy of young Tyson. If Mike can't reach his chin he'll pound the body until he gets in that left hook. Tyson inside 5.
Tyson would kill Waldi in 2-4 Rounds. Tyson was to fast, powerful, precise and his defensive would Waldi look bad. Tyson would crush Waldi´s body in the first rounds then blow his Head away.
Not even. Wlad would open up and get slugged out, still. Safety first new Wlad versus 1990's Tyson would be more even.
I initially thought Wlad would have a chance due to his size. Then I saw the Peter fight the other week and thought If that was the Tyson I remember from '87-'88 in the ring instead of Peter, no way would Wlad survive more than 2 rounds with his negative tactics. Oh yes, he does improve as the fight goes on but there would be no way on earth he would even see the second half of the fight unless he did something drastically different. You have to remember, for the first few rounds that Brooklyn badboy came at you like he wanted to kill you.
