How might the HW division look if prime Mike Tyson was active now

Surely you are joking on the Wilder statement. But not sure about the Broner thing. Broner is good and talented.

But P4P means nothing. The Heavyweight Champion is No. 1 in boxing. No matter who he is.

And Prime Mike Tyson would beat any active figther today.

 

LOL

Any & everybody (NOT named vladimir23) already knows the answer to this question. There's really no respectable way to even pose it without coming across as trolling.

In all seriousness, i would pick about 5 guys that Tyson fought in the 80's and early 90's that would clear the current crop of Heavies out... and that's from top to bottom.

Would also pick the same 5 or so guys to go thru Wlad or Vitali's entire resume with either LESS or the same amount of recorded losses.

 

And these 5 guys are?

 

Tony Tucker would box circles around Vitali and cut him up like Lewis did.
Wlad never fought anybody the size, skill and athleticism as Tucker.

 

He ****in was.

You ever saw either Klit throw an uppercut properly?


Fool you know **** all about boxing.

 

Tyson smashes the **** out of todays **** pile with ease.

 

Are you serious????

A prime Tyson KOs everybody in the top 25 no question at all.

 

Wlad loses to...

Ruddock
Douglas
Tucker
Smith
Bruno
Holmes
Spinks

That's 7 actually.

He'd probably luck up against 1 or 2. Or manage to come away with a knockout over the weaker chinned, weaker punching gentlemen listed above. But just about everytime Wlad has faced a devestating puncher/ pressure fighter, he's ended up flopping around on the canvas like a wet fish. Of the 3 biggest punchers he's faced, he either ended up KTFO or bounced off the canvas multiple times. Even the light punching Wach had him momentarily on ***** street.

Ruddock, Bruno, Smith & Tucker are had more concussive power than anybody he's ever been in the ring with.

And Holmes, Spinks & Douglas possessed a high degree of boxing skill which has never been seen out of a Wladimir Klitschko opponent. They would all have to be favored over Wlad.

And Vitali loses to...

Spinks
Holmes
Tubbs
Douglas
Tucker

Spinks & Tubbs match up extremely well with the slow, mechanical Vitali Klitschko. He would get ears effectively boxed off by either one of the two.

Tucker, Douglas & an old Holmes i would favor Vitali for similar reasons that i outlined a paragraph or two above. He just doesn't have anybody on his resume with either the skillset or pedigree of any of the men above, where i would comfortable favoring Vitali to beat said gentleman. Nor does he have a stylistic advantage over either of them that i can see.

 

How are you so sure? i mean Tyson fought mostly small guys compared to the heavyweights today! Back then the guys Tyson fought would be mostly Cruiserweights or small heavyweights!

 

Tyson had no qualms with tall guys who were 6'5+. :conf

 

LOL. Tyson reigned in the weakest HW division in HISTORY. Was destroyed by countless bums like Douglas and Williams.

 

Weak? **** off clown, McCall for example is still around today and neither Klit could put him away.

 

the mid to late 80's were not quite as big as the 90's but they weren't 'crusierweights'.
Tyson fought a bunch of guys 6'3-6'6 and 230-250. I think you are under the misconception that Tyson fought during the 60's or something. Tyson's era weren't an era full of midget sized guys. They were mostly 6'3-6'5 225-45 Muscle bound heavys.




The 90's era got even bigger and actually produced the most amount of good 230+ 6'3+ fighters in the history of boxing.


Bowe 6'5
Briggs 6'4
Lewis 6'5
Bruno was a legit 230+ muscle freak
Golota 6'4
Henry Anwikade 6'7
Ike Ibebachi at 240+
Grant
Zeijko 6'4
Tucker 6'5
Biggs 6'5
Ruddock
Smith




there's actually more good fighters during the 90's 230+ 6'3+ than there are today.


Starting from the 80's (Tyson's era) the guys got really big.. overall the guys today didn't get that much bigger comparing them to the 90's fighters...


Once again... guys like Ruddock,Bruno,Tucker,Golota etc... are not small heavys...


For you to call 6'5 Tony Tucker a 'cruiser weight' is a bit ignorant. Especially when Wlad fights at around the same weight and is only 1/2-1 inch taller.

 

Kilttards think anyone under 6ft 5" and 240lbs is somehow too small to trouble either brother. It's funny how they bang on about past heavyweights fighting light heavyweights and cruiserweights when 6ft 7", 245lb Vitali quit on his stool against a former middleweight

 

Scared!!!
