Prime Mike Tyson vs Wembley Klitschko

Wlad never faced anyone with Tyson's headmovent does that negate the jab? If it does Wlad has no offence because he won't let the right hand go until the jab is in the groove.
Absolutely, Wlad is a better boxer but his inside game is a glaring weakness - Manny rebuilt him on jab and hold. Get the jab working, launch the right hand.
Look at the Potvekin fight smaller guy hugged, him leaned on him and stopped him. I don't think Mike would be so easy to pin down and he's much faster on his feet with quicker hands than AP.

 

I don't normally disagree with you but in this case I think you're totally off the mark here.

Tyson had a much better chin than Wladimir he took single punches better than most Heavyweights in history.

The punches Tyson/Ruddock exchanged in their 2 fights had Wladimir even took half as many power punches he would've been finished off.

You really think Joshua does better than a prime Tyson would against a 41 year old Wladimir ? I have to say I'm baffled by that to be quite frank.

 

Fair enough mate. I don’t see it the same way but happy to agree to disagree on this one.

 

Not little people with Mike`s handspeed, Wlad never faced anything like prime Tyson.

 

yawn

 

Mike had fast hands, can`t you make a decent counter arguement? Do you know anything about boxing? Have you seen any of Tyson`s fights while he was being trained by Rooney?

 

1) Mike has a short reach
2) Wlad has a long reach
3) When Mike steps in to throw down, Wlad will step back, making him have to reset or miss.
4) Mike throws hooks. Wlad throws straight punches. Straight punches are longer and faster to the target.
5) If Tyson gets close, Wlad will clinch him.
6) Clinching Tyson has always shut him down
7) Grabimir Klinchko from Klinchiev is going to use Tyson as a footstool in the clinches.

Lewis was trained by Steward to fight little guys the same way. The difference is that Wlad gave shorties no chance at all whereas Lewis was OK trying to blow them out. Wlad's right straight is lethal for a short reach guy trying to get in, whereas Lewis' uppercut is harder to land:
