There were no specimens like Lennox or the Klitschkos back in Tyson's era. You can always try to discredit them about some of their losses (to Rahman , McCall , Brewster , Sanders )....But head 2 head... Guys like these would be a nightmare for anyone including for any versions of Tyson. Maybe he'd beat them , maybe not. But you can't be 100% certain especially when he lost against Buster Douglas. Struggled to finish the likes of Mitch Green , Tillis , or James smith ... He was human too...Just like them. Only the media transformed him into a demi-god.
Tyson's 45. He couldn't beat Kevin McBride. If Wlad's critics point out they don't think he'd win phantom fights against bygone fighters where he can never prove them wrong... that must mean... HE's CLEANED OUT THE DIVISION.
So would Rocky Marciano, and Burns too, and Colbert would dance his head off...Sulivan would really do a barefisted job to him, as would the 187 pound Dempsy of Williard. Jackson would make him look a fool. Roy Jones would murder him take him out in four....and Wlad dodged Ruis too. To tell you the truth the division is so weak Tex Cobb would beat him. Don't have to bring in Ali....the Young who beat Forman could out box him. Charles and Walcott would eat him for breakfast.....and he'd faint if he had to fight Joe Louis....Max Baer would tear his head off for true......Then there is Primo ....Eveyone knows Primo is lots faster than Wlad too. The only guy Wlad can beat is Patterson.
Tyson was a quitter. Wlad wins better question would be Tyson smashes Haye? Evander Holyfield showed us the real Tyson
This Tyson stuff is crazy...I mean he did what he should, he KO'd bums and got a lot of interest generated for boxing. I loved watching him, and I grew up in his prime, that being said, he was destroyed by the vast majority of quality fighters he faced. I'm not saying Wlad would beat him, but he's damn sure not walking through Wlad the way some of you imply. I'm really astonished that this many people would buy into this ****, Wlad would be a hell of a fight for anyone.
Wlad is what 6'7? Reach is probably 80 plus? It would take probably 3 rds for Wlad to wear himself out trying to Avoid Tysons Attack. Trying to keep him away with the Jab but That little Side 2 side Head bob ducking left hook would land Flush too many times in the 4th!
Yep. Only differences would be Tyson would be discouraged first right Wlad connected with instead of the uppercuts Lennox landed in the first round that pretty much ended Tyson's fight. People do not understand how good Wlad's footwork and speed are...he would frustrate the hell out of Tyson because Tyson would never be in a position to go off. And if he ever did, Wlad would tie him up.
