    OK, cut the ****ing CRAP.
    You're talking BULL****. Ignorant BULL****.

    Getting past the sixth round and landing a few shots doesn't make him lose confidence! What about the Green, Ruddock, etc. Fights?

    I'd fight Wlad. If I can land a good punch, I'd crack his glass jaw.

    Look, I'm the biggest Tyson fan on ESB probably, but its widely known ...the man has said it himself....He lacks confidence. Anyone who didn't succumb to his bullying demoralized Mike. They longer they lasted, the worse he got.

    The Lennox fight is a perfect example. He realized he didn't have the quickness of his youth, and that he couldn't bob & weave past the jab to get inside. Without that he couldn't close the gap and he had no chance. Mike quit in that fight several rounds before it was a TKO.

    If you know 3 things about Mike they would be:

    1. He didn't **** that *****.
    2. He bit Holyfield's ear.
    3. He lacks confidence when he's not dominating.

    Of course I'm not saying I could beat a prime Tyson, that would be some ignorant ass **** to say.

    I'm saying that Mike's confidence is a lot easier to exploit than Wlad's defense or his 1+2.

    I'm 6'0" and would not even be able to touch Vitali's chin even if I extended my arms to their fullest.

    Tyson

    What you say is ignorant as **** you make it sound like, Tyson will simply roll over if you survive which is false, Tyson may have rolled over at THE END of his career when he was old and injured. But Buster Douglas and Evander Holyfield had to beat Tyson up for many rounds before they stopped him, and it can be argued that Tyson was cheated out of a come from behind win over Douglas. It can also be argued that Vitali rolled over for Byrd, or that Wlad rolled over for Brewster & Purrity, since niether were taking any punishment. The Teddy Atlas myth that Tyson will roll over if you fight back is bull****. Otherwise Tucker, Bruno, Berbick, Botha and especially Ruddock would've all beat him.

    And speaking of Mental toughness, how many times has Wlad panicked/fought scared? He did it against Peter (1st fight) and TOS.

    Wlad.

    Tyson would be like an unleashed pitbull in a bad mood and will be all over me. At least against Wlad, i can at least try to run for 12 rounds and maybe survive.

    Id rather face Tyson. Seems the way to beat him is more obvious.

    The fighters that have faced Wlad in the last few years have had plans that they and their advisers believed were rock solid. But we never see any of them executed. The best Heavies all start to look the same after a couple of rounds. Then people slag them off for not having a plan B. But the truth is that if your best laid plans are rendered useless so quickly then anything else you have to offer wont help much.



    If I were definately gonna lose then I would rather be KOed in quick order by a 3 punch Tyson combo than take one of these nasty, humiliating, sustained beatdowns the current contenders recieve. Wlad establishes himself in a couple of rounds then gets in his 10 rounds of sparring on your face. You probably never even land anything on him, even though he gives you ten rounds to try. The guy could walk down the street straight after and no-one would know he'd even been in a fight and you are made to look like a five fight amateur. All the while you are taking more damage to your head than you thought was possible. Try having your career peak with that.

    Id smash the giant Klits. Id focus all my strength and energy in countering Wlads jab and knocking him out. If he tried to clinch or lean on me like he did witj Haye Id land a huge uppercut. Id rather go toe to toe and take my chances then have him use his reach and knock me out or dominate. Unless Im Ali I wouldnt lay a hand on 80s Tyson.
