Alexander Karelin or Mike Tyson

I have not seen a great deal of Karelin. But Tyson may be as an atheltic specimen one of the best I have ever seen.

So from what I have seen Tyson.

 

Karelin was an awesome physical specimen in stature alone. BUT Tyson is by far the most unique talent iv ever seen in boxing. In never seen a mixture of such raw power with speed precision coordination and pure inate talent as a young Mike. Mike wins this for me.

 

Yeah, but there was similarly never a talent like Karelin in wrestling - in fact, he was a lot more dominant than Tyson at his respective sport. Problem is, its more exciting Tyson's dominance at boxing than Karelin's at wrestling because of boxing's general awesomeness.

 

Physical speciment and athleticism? It's gota be Karelin by far.

 

Well basically it breaks down to this. Barely anybody is into that Greco ****.

 

which is like saying barely anyone is into radiohead because pop idol is where its at baby!!

generally the mainstream is full of mediawhores and stupid people who think that anything without bright lights and a budweiser advert every 5 minutes is not worth mentioning,hahahaha

id rather look up a karelin highlight or documentary on youtube than sit through a hopkins or mayweather press conference/fight and have to listen and watch these morons pass themselves of as the greatest thing since sliced bread following a 12 round sparring session with baldomir or a hug n hold fest!!

 

Today i say Tyson Tommorow i will say Karelin Both are one in a million athletes. You will never see such pure physical talent again in your lifetime.

 

Haha what a post man :thumbsup

 

What does this have to do with Tyson?

Look, if you got 2 people out of 100,000 that want to do Greco, and the guy that beat him was a out of shape lookin hillbilly with an incomplete hand, maybe Karelin wasn't that great of an athletic specimin.

Just a thought.

Besides, mother ****er came out of the Soviet Era, so it's likely he was unnatural anyway.

 

Hahaha yeh and Tyson was natural!!

 

it doesn't matter if you like greco or not, do you know that guy's stats? karelin takes this for me but only just barely. tyson was a treat to watch but karelin was a monster in his sport.

 

It's very close.

They both saw their dominance taken away by a pudgy dude with man tits.

 

Tyson could play a skill position in football.....Karelin would play O line. That's the difference.

 

Or you just know jack **** about Greco roman rules and circumstances :good
