    Wait, I'll raise you 10 seconds and state without doubt that prime Tyson would be KO'd by Old Wlad in 20 seconds.

    Sure, why not?

    Two for the price of one. This event will be FANTASTIC.

    Wilder will also have to rematch a fully-buffet'ed Dustin Nichols. :icon_popcorn: Their previous fight Dustin wasn't able to fully charge up at the local BBQ Ribs and he felt a bit faint in the fight. A 100% Dustin puts Wilder into hospital :ambulance:

    Then on the undercard, Pac / Floyd 2 :b1:

    Its telling of Wlad that even his fans know he has no chance of success without illegal clinching.

    Prime Wlad went life and death with Sam Peter. Against Mike during the 80's with Miles Lane he doesn't see past the first round.
    Bruno tried clinching Tyson and after Lane threatened him not to do it again he got knocked spark out.

    Imagine Lane reffing a WK fight :eeek::qmeparto::qmeparto:

    Unlike you, some of us have a realistic view on boxing.

    Prime Tyson was savage and explosive in the ring. I believe it was you that noted that he's not the best style matchup for Klitschko, and I do agree. Then again, prime Mike is a bad matchup for most fighters.

    Without clinching I'd have to favour Tyson, and that's no knock on Wlad. I'd favour that version over a lot of guys. I wouldn't say he has "no chance", that's sheer hyperbole, but if I had to bet, I'd bet on Tyson.

    With clinching, I'm thinking Wlad will manage to ride out a hairy first couple of rounds and win a UD. That I would bet on, especially since you forced me to trundle through Tyson's old fights with clinchers.

    Tyson would knock him out. Just far too agressive for Wlad to handle. Wlad likes it when an opponent tries to box with him. Trade jabs. Tyson wasn't like that. Tysons ferocity combined with his speed and power would make Wlad crumble, both physically and mentally.

    Realistic view? You think Wlad beats Tyson and Povetkin beats Holyfield. You're living in some kind of fantasy world.

    Absolutely.

    Sounds like you are huffing paint, though.

    You ought to stop huffing paint. There's aromatics and solvents in there that can cause cancer.

    Also, maybe get a pair of specs so that you can learn something about boxing.

    Wlad hits him with a left hook early. They have to break out the smelling salts to revive him.

    Yeah, I think that would be his only chance at beating a young Tyson, hit and hold, hit and hold and put his weight on him. However The Wlad that fought Sanders would get destroyed by prime Tyson though, easily.
