personally i think this version of tyson is a menace to any heavyweight the last 25 years hands down ......
yes it is a serious question but i think it needs to be raised because i hear so much about this current group of heavies that one should ask ...... im just looking to see what people think:think
You know what, Im not a big fan of his and feel he is an overrated guy in a weak field, but Wlad stylistically beats Tyson head to head. 87-88 Tyson beats anyone else wiht ease then flips them over and goes again.
I would love to see the look in Wlad's eyes when he got hit with a tyson bomb the word TERROR! springs to mind.
Lennox and both Klits, all in their primes (we'll assume that current ES-tweaked Wlad is prime) beat Tyson handily. Too big and too skilled for Mike's considerable crack to even become a factor.
I would favour prime Tyson to beat anyone around at the moment, even Wlad. Wlad under Steward as a style that could give prime Tyson big problems. But Tyson has a good chin and with his speed and power I can't see Wlad going morethan 6 rounds without having to take one of Tyson fast power punches, at which point Wlad is hurt and Tyson goes in for the kill and KO's Wlad while behind on the scorecards.
tyson destroys both russians hands down .... he would have had both of them mentally beat before the fight
What are you smoking. Prime Tyson isn't Brewster catching 5 jabs with his eye and returning one half assed punch vs Wlad. Nor is he Tua who is a poor man's Tyson, and nowhere near as fast vs Lewis as prime Mike was. Truth is: Lewis nor Wlad have faced or will face anyone as fast, or powerful, with the style of Tyson. Haters will throw the usual "Lewis kicked his ass" and "Tyson crumbled when you stood up to him", which are pretty baseless arguments. Personally I think Tyson would kick Wlad's overrated (but at the moment dominant and pretty decent) ass. Vs a prime Lewis I have no idea, I don't really know enough about Lewis, but I think he would take him late, or win a UD. I really don't know, but I'm edging Tyson, I think Lewis' size and resume, while impressive, make people think he's god. I think he'd have trouble with Tyson's speed more than power, but Mike would get to him. My 2 cents!
I think Tyson would of beat wlad, wlad would struggle to retain his composure and i can visualise him in panic and his legs wobbling, vitali though would beat prime Tyson I believe, he is just too big and with his unique sway back style would be very hard for Tyson to catch. The best of Lewis obviously would beat the best Tyson also in my opinion.
Wlad looks good recently but when you look at the opposition its no wonder, he has been able to be comfortable and stick to his fightplan sinc ethe opponents have done nothing. Wlad boxes very well but against anyone with any fight in him who knows today. Wlad sticks to the gameplan and thats his problem, if he is ruffdled he panics and lunges in to grab, he doesnt have the imagination or variation in his work if he is forced out of his gameplan, no creative artistic variation. What he is is efficient and robotic. Have you ever seen him go inside and throw an uppercut? Tyson would ruffle his feathers in the way Peter managed but Tyson would have much more success, of course he could get tired out from being leaned on and held by wlad.
