    Can Tyson get inside on Klitschko without paying a heavy price? Maybe a young Tyson just overwhelms him, or maybe Klitschko ties him up inside and hammers away from a distance for a KO. Depending on the day my view changes on this. Maybe the difference in chins decides.

    Either Tyson early on or Wlad by KO in the middle rounds. I'm leaning towards the latter option.

    Tyson knocks Wlad out or decisions him to a UD.

    speaking of fear. Isn't Wlad the guy whose universally known as someone who excessively clinches against nearly everyone of his opponents?

    and somehow this guys going to turn up unafraid of the most intimidating fighter that's ever lived? I dont think so.

    Tyson would never lose to Wladmir

    All this crap about Wlad "freezing". :lol:

    He's 38 years old and in the same shape as he was at 30, he's immensely strong, he's retained his speed, he's very fast, highly experienced, seasoned, supremely confident. He's had 66 fights, lots of them big-time fights.
    His record is 63-3 (with 53 KOs).

    People see want they want to see. They see "panic attacks" and "fear" and still hold the losses to Brewster, Sanders and Purrity as relevant.

    Hey, I don't particularly like his style of fighting. And, yes, his opposition hasn't been great.
    But let's not pretend the 21-year-old Tyson was something more than he was either.
    He'd be an underdog against Klitschko probably.

    Tyson would never win a UD vs. Wlad. You don't win UDs vs. Wlad unless your name is Ali or Holmes.

    If Tyson wants to win vs. Wlad he has to KO him.

    People keep bringing up the Smith fight, Once Wlad realises who hes up against, hell get on his bike, he has the skills to survive which would mean a Tyson UD.

    as soon as Wladmir opens up, hes going to sleep

    so why does he excessively clinch in nearly every single one of his fights?

    its not just one odd occasion, its a regular thing. Surely there is a reason behind this?

    It also serves to wear down his opponent.

    so he has to resort to a tactic which is illegal?

    im beginning to sound like Dinovelvet, but if Wlad tried that **** in somewhere like the US, hed get penalised for it.

    He has frozen in the past watch when he's been beaten

    And the :lol: response is not surprising is it after all classic posters always think that they are experts and everybody else shouldn't have an opinion unless they agree with them . Get to ****

    by the most excessive clinching I have seen. he clinched within four seconds of the pulev bout beginning, and then kept it up all round without being penalised.

    normally people will get penalised for it but in cheating Germany the pro-german boxer doesn't suffer it, basically cheating, and a loss by DQ. Which would be unfair becuase Mr Pulev was crap and uncommitted and wasn't wanting to win anyway.
