    You are a rising HW contender, and an offer is made to you from both Tyson(pre 1988) and Klitchko for the championship belts. If everything was the same, i.e. money, arena, etc, which would you fight?

    Tyson. Because when you look back with hindsight you can see Tyson only fought in 1 dimension. Get inside him and he flaked.

    I'd rather fight Tyson because I'm bigger than him. I still think he'd kick my ass but Wladimir would kick my ass long distance style. :yep

    Tyson much bigger payday, now if I were a lamon brewster type, obviously Wlad because I'd have a better chance.
    Edit: Since everything is the same, I'd fight Klitchco, If I have decent skill I might not get KTFO, against Tyson it's pretty much a given.

    Tyson. At least then it would over quick, instead of a prolonged beating. Plus I wouldn't get a bad ****ing back from being leaned on constantly.

    Agreed tyson but nothing to do with this reason. Prime tyson had more than 1 dimension. At any rate, you're gonna get starched quicker with Tyson and you'll make loads more money doing it then get UD'd or stopped late by klitchko

    Klitschko. I'd be less likely to get murdered. Could always pull a Kevin Johnson and survive and then brag about it as if I was good.

    Tyson.

    If you can get past the sixth round and land a few shots, he starts losing confidence.

    Wlad on the other hand is mentally stronger, bigger and hard to get close to.

    In other news, Tyson KO's Wlad inside 4.

    I'd fight Wlad. Tyson would actually hurt me before I could get to the canvas.

    Tyson would try to absolutely destroy and humiliate me.

    Klitchko would actually paw, grab, and carry me for at least a few rounds.

    No brainer, I'll fight Klit.
