He was convicted of raping a black beauty contestant for which he served time, he got out of prison and had an accident in his car. He rear-ended a car and when the elderly gentleman got out to survey the damage Mike Tyson in a fit of rage kicked the old man in the testicles. He bit Evander Holyfield's ear off in a boxing match he was losing and threatened to annaly **** a reporter at a boxing event when he took offense to a question. You dare to ask me to show RESPECT when your hero behaves like that?
Tyson KO1 who the hell even thinks he stand a chance against Iron Mike? you gotta be dumb or be a lover of Wlad. I'd give Vit better chances, Vit has got a character and chin, what you can't say bout Wlad.
I used to think Tyson would blow out Wlad in about two rounds of short work, but Wlad has added to his resume and even added to his overall boxing skillset so I no longer think Tyson blows him out in just two short rounds. Now I think Wlad makes it to round THREE before being horribly decapitated by Tyson's powerpunches. :yep
i can't believe some people actually think wlad would beat tyson. first off he ain't knocking out tyson. ruddock landed some brutal shots on tyson. he ain't gonna be landing fluid three punch combos like buster douglas. and wlad is ALWAYS measuring, and measuring, and measuring, pawing with his lead hand, to land that concussive right. he's horribly rigid and his defense consists of probing and cluelessly backing up in a straight line. this is a match made in heaven for tyson
Idea of boxing is to hit and not to get hit. These debates seems to be taking shots against more important than hitting opponents. Golota would not have done any better against klitchko than he did against Lewis. By the way Golota has always been easy to hit and Wladimir Klitschko again and vice versa
Big Tyson fan as I emulate his style in the gym, but because of that, I know its shortcomings. If this was the Wlad before he had this amazing run, Tyson KO3. But this Wlad is different. If you get in too close after dodging all them jabs, he will grab you to death and you'll get tired trying to get that 240 plus weight off of you. It's not like Wlad's slow and he's pretty tall compared to Tyson with very very long arms. He also has power. Anyone expecting an easy fight for Tyson has got some really really rose tinted glasses glued to his eyeballs.
It gots to be Iron Mike. Although, as a lot of people have pointed out, if Wlad can take it to the middel his chances rise considerably.
While at 25 Tyson still may have been in his physical prime he had already started to decline. This is prime for prime which would suggest a younger version of Tyson like the one that fought Spinks. If you are simply going to base prime by age then lets pick a 27 year old Wlad that got smashed by Sanders. That version of Wlad would gets annihilated.
Tyson TKO9 and I'm discussing the improved Wladimir Klitschko of today, the Sanders one gets destroyed in round one. I don't care how great Wladimir's jab is, prime Tyson moved his head, used his legs, through punches in bunches in every opening he gets or every attempt. Prime Tyson didn't run out of gas throwing single punches for 5 rounds like he did late in his career which sadly is how the majority of fans think of him as. Wladimir Klitschko does have stamina issues and against someone like Tyson he will be forced to throw all the way to late without being able to take a break like he does against the fighters of today.
If you're going to play ******ed then it's easy for the rest really. Brewster, Sanders and Purrity, remember them?. Wladimir Klitschko was knocked down in one fight more than Tyson was his entire career.
Remember, this was before Stewart's entry into coaching. Also, Lennox Lewis losing before he exchanges trainer. Someone like Mitch Green's certainly not go to end and lost only by points with current wlad. It is clear that Tyson has had problems against tall boxers similarly as was David Tua
