Wlad (that fought Haye) Vitali (that fought Lennox) Ike (that fought Tua) Holmes (that fought Marvis Frazier) Frazier (that fought Ali #1) Tyson appeared to be in fantastic shape in this fight, he was alot more cut that the one that fought Tony Tucker in his previous fight. He had lighting foot speed and blurring hands. Interested to hear your opinions on these match ups? Cheers
Tyson beats them all. Hed hunt Wladmir down, neither Klit likes having too much pressure put on them, esp Wlad. Wlad would be forced to clinch to save his life, all his offense would be negated by the smaller faster Tyson who woudl duck under his punches. A) Tyson knocks Wlad out or B) Wlad goes the same way as Bonecrusher and hugs his way to the end. Vitali is too slow both by hand and foot to deal with tyson. Out of Frazier is more of a pressure fighter, that works well against certain opponents, but its the wrong game plan against Tyson. You dont just walk into Tyson. Take into consideration Fraziers suspect chin.
I'd favor that version of Tyson over every one of them, with Holmes being the closest fight. If Frazier could land his hooks early and slow Tyson with bodypunches, he could potentially be serious trouble later on, but I think he'd get stopped well before that. The Klitschko's are great H2H heavyweights, but they wouldn't beat Tyson (I think Vitali might last the distance, though).
Joe Frazier would be in serious trouble from Tyson's vicious uppercuts from hell. Look at 00:58 & 1:09 (Mathis jr fight) to see the side-stepping style Tyson would implement against Frazier to land killer uppercuts. [yt]XcgsRIekwO4[/yt]
Tyrell Biggs was one of the most naturally talented (World class) heavyweights in the 80's he beat very dangerous top ten ranked fighters and boxed Mike because he was the Number 1 rated heavyweight in the WBA at the time... Audley was beaten by men who had not reached past their potential in the UK.. The Haye fight only came about because he shouted his mouth and talked his way into a payday... Audley v Tyrell "Peak" would have seen Audley shoved around by a man as big as he is but super mobile and far too busy... Their names dont belong in the same sentence... Biggs had a huge heart and Audley is still searching for the can his was supposed to arrive in.....
