    Floyd patterso was a great fighter but wlad is a real heavy, floyd was more of a bulked up light heavy/cruiser.

    Both klitschko's would have lost to Mike though, wlad 100% and the chisora fight exposed vitali, his own comment was "if he would have been faster I would have been in trouble" sure he wasnt in his prime but chisora is not even 1/10 of the boxer mike was.
    Both fights end in ko's for tyson.

    I've been saying this for the longest, Are they exciting No but its no reason to not to believe they would be difficult to beat in the any era, not only are they tall but are talented and athletic for that size

    Foreman also said Lennox Lewis is the greatest HW of all times.

    Foreman may well be right. Lewis had everything Wlad has plus an awesome body attack. I've got Ali and Lennox top 5 all-time heavy's.

    The truth hurts doesn't it? So that is LL, george foreman, mike tyson, all admiting the K bros would DOMINATE.

    Oh. Ya I agree with everything you said.

    Wlad and Vitali would have beaten Mike Tyson.

    I'm just saying Wlad's style is a bit risky against Mike. That is the truth.
    But you are also correct in your assetment that Mike really didn't fight any elite super heavys. The one time he did fight one he lost. (Although he was shot by then)

    It's not really his fault though, because like I said to this day there have only been 4 ELITE super heavys.

    Wladimir
    Vitali
    Lewis
    Bowe.

    More will come though.

    Deal with what?
    Wladimir himself said 'Lennox Lewis is my idol, I copy his style against David Haye from Tua fight'

    scene.



    They all respect each other, your opinions are pretty worthless because if we go through your posts 30% of your early ones are direct racial attacks against fighters of color.

    Nothing wrong with imitating lennox lewis style of boxing, they are both extremely tall and lanky HW's.

    The game is over though, EE's will stay dominating the HW division and "taking out the trash" as I call it for the rest of history. Blacks just don't have the genetics to hang with the big boys.

    oh no you didn't go there... why why did you pull the race card.

    LL, Tyson, K2, Forman, Ali... all are great boxers and would have hada tough motherfuking time fighting eachother... no clear winner could go either way on any given night. might favor some over others but not by much.

    now don't pull that race card anymore... play nice, otherwise it only takes away from your argument.

    credit to tyson for being respectful and fair in his assessment. i'd take mid to late 80's tyson over both, but it definitely wouldn't be easy. their abilities and athleticism for their size makes k2 tough for any hw in history and they've proven this over a long period of time (regardless of the less than stellar comp that's plagued the division)

    Ive said this for a long time yet I get called a hater when I don't bend over to kiss their ass and point out their shortcomings. Go figure!

    Tyson most overrated fighter of all time. Got destroyed by any real opponent he ever faced and was KO'ed by numerous cans

    Yeah sometimes we all get caught up in Klitschko bashing, but to think that Wladmir or Vitali is **** is a big mistake. The last 10 or so guys thought that and well they all got their ass beat. Since lennox lewis/lamon brewster, no one around has been able to beat them. and yes they dodge holyfield but if there is only one fighter in the whole entire planet of 6 billion who can possibly beat klitschko in the last 7 years, well they can't be that bad.

    I think they were trying to bait Tyson into saying they are ****, but they aren't Ukraine/kazaks has been turning out some very good boxers in the amateur level. Almost every other weight class in the final included 1 ukranian compared to zero American.

    And America has the greatest trainers anyone of serious about boxing could go join emmanuelle stewards gym in the detroit, he takes in kids there all the time and is pretty much the best trainer around. rooney is still training boxers in new york the last I heard, so there is no way to blame anything on anyone. Klitschko is very good, he is the best heavyweight right now, bar holyfield, till someone can beat him.

    If you are racist you will have a hard time with boxing, maybe you should go to the stormfront website and keep your stupid opinion over there.
