    Mike Tyson vs Wladimir Klithscko is a good debate subject for this.
    Which popular boxing statement do you agree with more?
    Styles makes fights or a good big man always beats a good little man.
    Wladimir is a GREAT big man.. Tyson is a GREAT little man.
    Yet many people thinks that Wlad's style is tailor made for Tyson.

    So Prime vs Prime. Who will you favor.

    The great big man or the guy who's style counters the great big man,

    I think those rules apply differently depending on the particular context, but in this case, I'd favor Tyson.

    Ya. So you definitely favor the 'big man over little man' if both are equally skilled right?

    'Bigger, stronger,heavier, 6'6 - 5'10 etc'

    If the fight was in the US, would Wlad be able to hold as much as he does In Germany?

    Wladimir is the best heavyweight as of now, i still do not consider him as a "Great". Imo as a "Great" you have to be able to compete in a war. And that´s an ability Klitschko clearly is missing. Stylewise Tyson with his speed, aggressiveness and power would be a nightmare for him.

    See Ali-frazier 1.
    But the answer is yes, he would be able to do it even more.

    Neither Ali nor Wlad can make fights like this:

    Wars are exciting, yes.
    Lyle - foreman.

    But at the same time it is stupidity.

    Wlad goes for pure outside fighting, if he gets in a war it means he failed his style.(If war is defined as trading punches)

    Tyson, KO. Wlad was terrified of guys like Peter, Tyson would run him right outta the ring.

    You mean like Klitschko-Ibragimov. :rofl

    You do understand that fighters like Holyfield could Box well but still be entertaining?

    I would say a good big man beats a good little man if they have similar styles otherwise I'd go with the style match up over the size on most occasions. Obviously there are exceptions.

    Wlad would be able to box him at range and then hug the **** out of him if he got close

    Prime for Prime Tyson would've drop Wlad so easily. The contenders that Wlad fought have no killer instinct and sometimes no power. Tyson by KO, early.
