Higher ATG: Wladimir Klitschko or Mike Tyson?

Prime Mike Tyson would not be able to win against Wlad and probably get knocked out while trying to land his own monster punches. Style make fights and whilst Mike was able to land on many fighters taller than him, it would for sure be different with Wlad as he is much more skilled than the usual suspects.

If you compare the achievements of both it has to be Wlad as well.

Iron Mike was the devil in his prime but he just hasn't the reach. People like to state that Mike has good lateral movement and would be able to close the range, but I doubt that would be the case against Wlad as Wlad's punching power will be well respected by anyone who felt it. You just can't go straight in and drop bombs on him. If you try you will go down.

 

Mike had head movement he was also able to get on the inside ..Thoufh Wlad is a difficult task Brewster wasn't close to the fighter Tyosn was and he was able to beat him!

 

As soon as Wlad hugged Tyson. Tyson would start nailing that body with liver shots.

Pulev managed to get up close and personal with Wlad. If Mike did once the contest would most likely be over.

 

C'mon there was something foul with the first fight, that was obvious. In addition to that the fight was years ago and Wlad wasn't in his prime.

 

In mystery match ups tyson just like david haye beats everybody. In reality wlad by TKO

 

Throw Michael Spinks or the part retired version of Holmes that Tyson fought easily mikes best wins and I think Wlad wins easily.

See what I did there.

 

Tyson , I voted on a HTH prime version of each basis Tyson ko's wlad if they ever invent a time machine you will see

 

I rank Tyson slightly higher. While Wlad has longevity on his side, Tyson has beaten better opposition and when Tyson was the champion he dominated in far more impressive fashion. Tyson also didn't have those early losses that tarnish his record like Wlad did.

 

Who is the better opposition you speak of?

 

Ruddock, Thomas, Tucker and maybe even Holmes beat Wlad.

Even Holmes in the 90's moved better and had a better defence than Pulev.

 

Yes the only foul thing were the punches landed but hey what happened in the rematch Wlad took care of business

 

wlad would suffer several defeats, double figs, with tysons opposition.


Tyson would clean up wlads opps in single figure rounds.

 

Tyson losses are at comparable age to wlads early ones.


though against much tougher opps.

 

Tyson's best wins over the likes of Spinks, Tucker, Holmes, Bruno, Ruddock and Golota are better than Wlad's best wins like Byrd, Haye, Thompson, Povetkin and Pulev.

Golota on Tysons resume alone is as good as Wlad's best win Byrd as Golota drew with Byrd when they fought.

 

Tyson - Golota: N/C
