Wlad is already a greater champion than Mike Tyson.

Some people need to be put on a electric chair. Klit better than TYSON?! GET THE **** OUTTA HERE!

 

Maybe a greater champion based on his dominance and the length of his reign, but he's nowhere near as great a fighter as Tyson.

 

Yep, Tyson was a shitty boxer....:blood, good slugger though.

If Tyson said that Tiny Forman would have been tough for him, Lewis, or the Brothers would have been more.
And as lightfooted and using side stepps like Wald was using tonight, Mike would have had trouble....

 

maybe his record is better, but at Tyson's prime he would find his way to the inside and hurt Wlad and win via KO.

Tyson just pissed his career away and was done by the time he was 26. Wlad had the discipline to build himself a legacy.

 

Frankly, i dont see it. the guy can easily fight for 3-4 more years (2 fights a year) with the style he is using as the recognized ring champ. You might be right, waldo might get stopped at some point, i just dont see who?

Waldo will end up with a far longer reign and way more title defenses. Tyson really doesnt have an incredible resume. What makes people in awe of tyson is the way he became champion and the "show" he put on outside the ring. If waldo hangs on..He will surpass Mike.

The question teh original poster posed...is he better now? well I havent seen a proper analysis from anyone to answer that for sure. I suspect No.

 

Yeah that's all fair enough I suppose....as I said I suspect he's got another loss in him anyway which will make all this talk redundant :rasta

 

Some people should read the headline of the tthread they are posting in...

 

You dont compare lennox lewis with james braddock based on h2h fights. These are different eras. You can only look at who they fought and how dominant they were in their eras as well as what titles they held and defended.

 

Better = Greater champion. That wat i was meaning brotha.

 

Wlad is hard pressed to be in the top ten due to his lack of rivals, and his 3 KO losses while young. It might already be beyond his grasp.

Wlad's chance to become top 15 or higher (I currently rank him around 20-23) is to have ATG longevity. That doesn't mean champion for 2-3 years (unless he fights 5 times a year ) He needs his reign to be among the longest in history and only probably only behind Louis if he wants to be listed among the greats.

When Tyson crushed Berbik, Biggs, Hoklmes, Bruno and Spinks then he lost his way because of things outside boxing.

Wlad's best performance was tonight, but he has been rocked many times over his career and has never been as dominant as Tyson.

 

I always knew you had it in you to be the man.

 

Would a prime Tyson have struggled with any of Wlad's opponents ? Honestly ???
