    Wlad was a very great fighter, I have him in my 10 ATGs. But 88 Mike was just...

    Tyson blows him out in 2.

    Peralta can go the distance with Foreman but Frazier can't make it past the 2nd?

    I had to stop right here because you have obviously either never seen the fight or don't know how to watch a fight.

    People actually voted for Klitschko ....

    Lol

    Wladimir Klitschko would be intimidated 100 percent of the time by Tyson

    Have to go with a Tyson TKO here. Wlad might be awkward to find for a time but he'll get there somewhere inside 5 or 6 for mine.

    The big guys are best served getting Tyson's respect early and Wlad don't fight that way. Tyson will have too much freedom as Wlad tries to evade and tie up and simply doesn't doesn't utilize enough offense to give Tyson pause. Tyson will find his mark under these circs.

    I slightly favour Tyson due to his intensity in the first few rounds and Wlad's dodgy chin. But bear in mind Wlad is one of the hardest HW punchers ever and could ko Tyson coming in early on. Also if it goes past 6 I favour Wlad as his jab will win him rounds as Tyson tires.

    Says the guy who just claimed Wlad controlled entire fights with his jab. You obviously don't know how to watch a fight because the data and optical evidence will categorically prove your statements to be false.

    My guess is your going off faded memories of when you watched the fights live and i believe you avoid re watching those awful performances as you fear your delusions of this guys ability will be brought back down to earth.. Basically everything you utter about this guy is categorically false.

    Assuming that Wladimir Klitschko brought his microscope with him so that he could see that fierce, angry midget ...

    Answer: Deer in headlights. Panic. Sleep paralysis. The runs.


    Question: What is Wlad's routine leading up to a Mike Tyson fight?

    Nobody is going to ko 1988 Tyson early (except perhaps Foreman). You would need to lay a consistent beatdown on him as Douglas did.

    Both Klits get KOed the same night

    This time he can't run and cry to his big brother to avenge him because he's also getting knocked out

    Unless Tyson slips and injures himself from the **** and diarrhea both Klits leave all over the ring due to fear

    People are deeply delusional about Tyson's abilities.

    His fanboy rating is over 9000, however.

    Barney Malone can stop Silberbauer in the 212th round but Canelo has an ice cream shop?

    Klitschko doesn't have the chin either way so it doesn't even matter

    88 Tyson would KO him through his guard

    He couldn't even handle Sanders hand speed ... Tyson was a step above him in hand speed
