I dont think Wlad would have beaten,Tucker,Ruddock,Holyfield,or Lewis...While im pretty sure a prime Tyson would have beaten,Brewster,Sanders,Purity,Byrd,and Ibragimov handily... And mainly i think prime for prime Tyson KO's Wlad handily
Tyson was robbed of his prime - when he was doing time, probably his own doing, but thats my opinion.. At his best in the boxing ring - I believe he wouldve knocked Wlad out in 2 rounds, Tyson was ruthless and actually knew how to fight, Wlads jab wouldnt have existed - because Tyson wouldve been inside it from the get go.. Credit to Wlad and how he is coming along as a fighter, but to say he could beat tyson, its a big stretch..
Or Holyfield by easy win over Cooper, Holyfield over Moorer, Ali over Norton, Moorer over Foreman, Foreman over Young, etc. Just because one is the better fighter doesn't mean he automatically wins. Boxing history is full of cases where a great fighter loses to a boxer he shouldn't lose to.
Problem would be we are not Caucasian from America, who **** on trousers to see small black man..black fighters dont have fear factor against East-European fighters.
ya corrie sanders/ross purritty.............ummmmm wlad would shitt is pants b4 the fight .....mismatch..............vitali would be tougher cause he believes in himself and is not intimidated..............BUT TYSON WOULD HAVE CHOPPED HIM DOWN.....AS FOR LEWIS/HOLY....LEWIS BEAT A COKED OUT 35 YR OLD HAS BEEN....WHAT HOLY DID IS MUCH GREATER THAN WHAT LEWIS DID.
I like Mike but he had a some lame fights and those were against big man, Tucker, Smith,and Green. Would of been intersting to see how he would against the Klitschkos, They r better then those i mentioned.
Ever hear of Duane Bobick? Great white hope in the 70's, beat Teofilo Stevenson once and then was bombed out in his heavyweight debut against Norton. He looked scared as hell. Good point.
Tyson obliterates every single one of the opponents Wlad has faced. The only one who might maybe, MAYBE (but probably not) pose some problems is Byrd with some of his slickness. Tyson still beats him though. Everyone else is beaten EASILY. Now as for Klitschko against Tyson's opponents. Klitschko beats them, but loses to some of the guys Tyson lost to. In particular Lewis and Holyfield. Wlad beats Douglas, Williams and especially McBride. Fighter's who Tyson beat but stand a chance to beat Wlad are: Ruddock, perhaps Tucker, and much less likely, Bruno
