    Iron Mike beats all of Fury's opps. most of them by KO.

    yes Wladimir Klitschko you know the guy who holds the record for the longest cumulative heavyweight title reign of all time, with 4,382 days as world heavyweight champion, the guy who was Olympic Gold medalist aged 20, the guy who beat everyone and all different styles over a very long period. That guy. He would school Little Mike, and deliver one of his highlight reel KO's. Wlads longetivivity and consistency at the elite level is far superior to Little Mike. I don't think you realise just how great Wlad was , he had unreal power

    Newsflash:

    None of that is relevant.


    It doesn’t matter who won what, and what their longevity was etc.

    It’s how their styles would have meshed on the night.


    Wlad was knocked out 3 times in his 20’s, which psychologically scarred him, which left him as a safety first fighter.

    He became a very cautious boxer in his prime, using his size on mostly overmatched opponents.

    Whenever he was forced to fight, he was left extremely vulnerable.

    He hit the deck 13 times in his career, where even in his prime he barely survived a crude Sam Peter.


    Mike only had a very short stint at the top, but he was a wrecking ball.

    He’d have gone at Wlad in a ferocious manner from the outset, where’d he’d have tried to have knocked him out. With Mike’s great hand speed, upper body and head movement, Wlad would have found it extremely hard to have timed him. He’d also have found it extremely hard to have leant on him and tied him up like he did against Povetkin. Mike would have bobbed and weaved his way inside and targeted the body.

    It would have been a very tough stylistic match up for Wlad.

    He wouldn’t have wanted to have fought a prime Mike Tyson.

    He didn’t possess the mental strength for it.


    You’ve called Mike: ‘Little Mike’ but being small would have given Mike a huge advantage in this fight, as at 5’10 along with his great speed, being much smaller would have made him extremely elusive.

    Mike would have knocked him out.

    Wlad was a master of the game.

    Wlads jab could detee anyman from approaching. If Tyson wasn't on top beast form, he'd be pizza faced.

    Wlad was happy to box but hated being pressured.

    Mike would have been a terrible opponent for him.

    How would Wlad have jabbed a 5’10 guy with Mike’s head movement?
