Wladimir Klitschko vs Mike Tyson Power-When both are as powerful as they are it doesnt make a difference who is slighty harder-hitting so instead i'm listing this as strength in the physical sense which i believe wladimir wins easily Speed of foot/hand-No question its mike Chin-I feel Wlad's chin is vastly underrated but i also think Mike's was one of the better chins out of the 80's/90's era considering lennox lewis,tommy morrison etc fought during that time.i give it to mike Defense-Wlad has an unusual defense in a way as it doesnt take speed,reflexes or insane mayweather-like skill to execute it.He simply uses his long reach and height to his advantage behind a powerful jab and to great effect as it is his offense and defense.Mike's defense in the 80's was awesome and is often overlooked due to KO ability.his head-movement and lateral movement was second to none and his peek-a-boo type denfense of his face was very adequate.however i feel that he would have a ahrd time penetrating wlad's denfense as would almost any HW under 6'5.so i give this one to wlad Weight advantage-Not really a big deal as theres no limit but i think wlad has the advantage in the sense that extra weight wont really affect his gameplan due to his relatively stationary style.Mike however would depend on speed,stamina and ferocity in this fight therefore he would need to be relatively light (around 220-225) maybe OUTCOME Mike's style and tenacity makes Wlad uncomfortable in the first 3 rounds or so and mike land a few grazing body shots but nothing to the chin.Wlad's long punishing jab starts to take it's toll and mike begins to swing and miss,taking some hard rights along the way.A cut,bruised tyson is stopped in the 7th-8th round in what was a surprisingly easy and textbook match for wlad.His size would simply be too much for a 5'11 hw even of tyson's calibre FEEL FREE TO DISAGREE
Disagree. I think a prime tyson gets under wlads long jab and right, which will be thrown consistently. Tyson dips under and rips body shots, slowing wlad. Not to say it isn't a very tough fight but I think Tyson gets wlad tired and discouraged by the 6th round and moves in for the ko and finds it.
Tyson by first or second round KO. His style is made for dodging under the jab and landing big combinations to Wlad.
Tyson almost certainly. For Wlad to not just survive but win, he'd have to fight the most perfect fight of his ****ing life.
Considering only very tall boxers have ever troubled Wlad (same as his brother) it's very hard not to give it to Wlad. Wlad with his 8 inch height advantage and possibly the best Jab and straight in the sport Tyson simply wouldn't be able to fight his fight, ie get in close and do the buisness. I see Wlad picking of Tyson with the jab and straight and really frustrating Tyson and building up a big points lead, Tyson wont really be able to get within 3ft of Wlad, if Tyson isn't KO'd around the 8th or 10th rounds then Wlad would go on to win easily on points.
People keep forgetting tysons ring general ship. They keep thinking because one guys tall and knows how to fight tall that, that means he wins. Not true. Tyson would cut the ring off and get wlad in a corner of the ropes eventually, and we all now tyson power+ wlads vulnerable chin= a tyson win. Some of the heavyweights today can bang but none like mike, and no one could execute their plan like mike. He has the confidence, brains, and tools to do the job.
Tyson knocks him out rather quickly. If Sam Peter could get under the jab, Tyson can even easier, only he'll throw punches..fast hard ones.
