    think you got one of the srong tabs from the middle of the batch mate,the ones which soak most of the LSD up when drying:nut.

    no way dus any version of any klit beat a prime tyson,no way dus any klit keep tyson at bay for 11 rounds before throwing a right hand,no a chance :deal

    I just don't see what tools he has to even keep Tyson at bay, never mind win by stoppage.

    His jab isn't good enough, his defence is terrible and his power was average..... he can't fight inside either - his only plan is to hold.

    Tyson would love that, being able to fire away with the uppercuts at his leisure.

    As I've said, if a fat Sanders can knock him down, you've only got to wonder what Tyson would do :yep

    It's alright citing examples of Douglas and Holyfield as men who beat Tyson, but both fought pretty much flawless fights throughout and took plenty of shots.

    I don't see a man who quit against Chris Byrd fancying the job too much.

    Which Klitschko. They are both different people you know? And the results would not be exactly the same which ever it was.......?

    Wlad would be very lucky to survive the first round.

    Klits are even more ****ing overated then Tyson.

    This would be like Tyson VS Bruno 2. :deal

    Except Vitaly might last nearly 4 rounds, BUT Waldo only lasts 2 rounds.

    Such different levels it's insane; both Klits would get destroyed by Tyson inside a round.

    There are quite a few 70's, 80's and 90's Heavies I'd pick to force a similar outcome, Wlad is much better than Vitali (whose best performance was a loss to the out-of-shape Lennox that Rahman sparked) but still too outmanouverable by a high-level operator.

    As consistent as his jab seems, he would be hard pressed to dissuade say, Jerry Quarry, Max Baer, or George Foreman :yep or Shutout say, Mike Dokes or Ike Ibeabuchi.

    They are consistent, but basic.

    Tyson, who I have at no.8 on my alltime HW list, is so much better I couldn't envision the Klits beating him one out of ten in his prime. Neither has ever looked as good as Buster Douglas did that night, and that was against a disinterested Tyson, who still managed to pull out a big KO punch.

    But 'Kid Dynamite' at his peak? There really aren't many I'd favour at all, Joe Louis has some good stylistic things in his favour, although Tyson would well blitz him, Lewis could well keep him off with his jab and has underrated punch resistance, Larry Holmes has the canny and powers of recovery, and Foreman was a force of nature.

    Ali-Tyson you could go over again and again. It's easy to say 'Tyson is a two-handed Joe Frazier' but a) he isn't quite b) Ali pre-exile was even more elusive.

    Again, Tyson Vs The Klits: mismatch. His chin is better than either of theirs too.
