Usyk v Prime Iron mike tyson, who ya got?

What about seeing how Usyk does vs the current crop of HWs first?

 

Fighters with Tyson's style tend to have short primes.

 

" oh dear dear dear it's all gone terribly wrong for Usyk ...."

 

Tyson by KO.

 

Tyson only ever fought two top guys in Holyfield and Lewis and lost to them both. Tyson never faced a Russian or Ukrainian in his life. Tyson was only world champ when the biggest forces in boxing couldn't turn pro.

 

No excuses! Povetkin has a very similar style.

 

Povetkin is also 5" taller than Tyson too. Povetkin is around the same height and size of opponent Tyson used to face.

And no, they don't have similar styles unless you count throwing punches as a 'similar style.

 

If this happens in Tokyo and Usyk's mom dies in the lead up to fight, I got him.

 

Usyk too afraid of Tyson and locks himself in the bathroom!

 

The reach difference is literally just 3 inches between the two. Pretty negligible. Povetkin, like Tyson also fights opponents most of the time much bigger in size, height and reach than him.

Why does Tyson's style lend to short primes, but Povetkin's style doesn't?

 

There was a smallish heavyweight who had a style similar to Usyk where he just used movement and pitty pats to outwork bigger fighters, and that was Michael Spinks. He was undefeated and highly rated forr boxing ability and how did that work out against Tyson. If you don't have a super jab, power to get his attention, or the size, then you have nothing for Tyson in his prime.

 

he really doesnt, Luis.

 

Mike would not do much better vs Gassiev. I'm sure of that.

 

because they have different styles.
