Can Mike Tyson do what Andy Ruiz did? Mike Tyson & Andy Ruiz style not identical, but it is still in the same spectrum. Can Mike Tyson make Anthony Joshua retire o the ropes?
Prior to Andy Ruiz, plenty of folks will favor Anthony Joshua. Now we know Anthony Joshua will not fight on when his health is at risk, which is the wrong mindset to face Mike Tyson
I don't think you would have find many that would have favoured Joshua Even before Ruiz, Whyte hurt him, Takam made him think and he boxed cautiously at range against Parker for 12 rounds. Tyson KO 1-3
Wrong skillset to fight Tyson too, getting messed up by a counter hook against Ruiz isn`t good going in against one of the best hookers in the history of the game, plus Tyson was a better counter puncher than Ruiz is, no way could AJ have beaten Tyson by running around the ring, Tyson was a master at cutting off the ring.
Plus Whyte like Ruiz hurt AJ with a hook, Tyson`s leaping left hook was one of his best shots, he destroyed Berbick with one hook and Tubbs, no way could AJ take the hook that wrecked Tubbs.
i think Joshua is a hard nights work for most HWs in history. Apart from Tyson who will mow him down in a few rounds. Too much power, intensity and variety for Joshua to withstand.
Only AJ can get up off the canvas 4 times but people still question his heart and whether he has it in him to keep fighting.
Dude, there are a couple of skyscrapers around that couldn't take the hook Tyson flattened Tubbs with.
A quote below from a similar thread I posted on. Emphatic win for Tyson. I can just picture Tyson's head movement, ducking and bobbing in close then that sharp right to the body followed instantly with a devastating and perfectly timed right uppercut flush on the underside of AJs chin - BOOM!. To use Frank Bruno's quote after his own loss to Tyson. "he'd be on AJ like a harbour shark"
Tyson 88 v Joshua after Ruiz 2 would be a good matchup. Joshua learned to protect better his chin. 50/50 fight
