I believe a PRIME MIKE TYSON would rule the heavyweight division at this time,do you?

When I look at Holy vs Tyson, the speed is a big step ahead of the Klit, way ahead. But again, Pacman is way faster then them too, but I never heard him chalenging them. The Klits are huge, they hit hard and are fairly good boxer. They are 30 pounds heavier then Mike, and that would probably show.

But geeze Mike Tyson was fast for a HW, and hit really hard.

Close call.

 

Yes we do with Vitali giving him a beating then him running into retirement .... after his mama said "don't fight that man again son hhe will hurt you":deal

 

Right now yes.

Wlad leaving his left out like he did against Chisora would see his chin shattered.

Vitali would last longer but he'd be grabbing for dear life.

 

alls you can do is look back and try to dream :|


Klitschkos #1 ....ever :deal to big to fast and powerful ...

 

mike was far too unstable and insane to "rule" anything. the k bros are so successful over a long period of time because they are dedicated professionals. mike is the type of guy destined to have a short blazing career, not a long dominating one

 

I just tweeted Mike to ask him his opinion. He may not answer, but what the hey.

 

Based on what similar opposition that Vitali has fought in terms or handspeed, power and defense?

The thread is prime Mike vs the current versions of Vitali and Wladimir.

Not their prime versions.

 

Mike was mentally crazed and unable to fully dedicate himself to the sport over a sufficiently long period of time such as a decade. And that's what it takes to 'rule' a division let alone 'any era of the HW division'.

Could a prime Tyson win fights today? Could he win against Wlad or Vitali? Sure could potentially. But could he 'rule the division' over any length of time? No. Too unstable, too crazy, too stupid. He'd win belts and lose them against bums. Mike was too unpredictable, inside and outside the ring.

 

He'd mangle & murder the lot of-em:yep

 

tysons the most exciting fighter all time.,

 

If he beat the k's, IF, who's gonna beat him from the rest of the current division? I take your point but current hw div is horrible.

 

Winning the championship in a division doesn't equal 'ruling' in my book.

Tyson would have to defeat the K brothers. Beat them in rematches and then defend his title for the next say 7-10 years. Given how unstable and crazy Mike was there's no doubt in my mind that Tyson would fail somewhere along the way. And it doesn't take ATG fighters for Tyson to fail. He'd lose to mediocre fighters every once in a while, simply because he was crazy and not always 100% concentrated. He couldn't keep his dedication and concentration for longer than a couple fights.

So the answer is 'No'.

 

Yes

 

Die

 

Tyson would crush both Klits

Lennox would crush Tyson (already has)


The Klits are lucky they are in such a weak era
