Wlad is too stiff and one dimensional to beat a prime Tyson.

Bowe handled Holyfield and Holyfield handled Tyson. Surely prime Wlad a chance, as Lennox Lewis has shown. Golota caught some big Tyson punches but he hung in there until he walked out.

 

Tyson would catch him over and over, he was better of the two. He also hit as hard, but in faster combinations. Klitschko would be too slow.

 

A significant part of boxing is mental. Tyson would scare the **** out of wlad. wlad would get KTFO absolutely no doubt.

 

Listing all the black fighters you can who's success bothers you, ain't ya?

:bart

 

I usually say I couldnt see him lasting 3 rounds, but maybe your right.

Either way, short night for Tyson.

 

Good post. This is how I see it too.

 

Another thing is that Wald would be spent before round 5 throwing at the same workrate Buster did for the Tyson fight. Wlad is a lot more nervous in the ring with an aggressive opponent too. That extra nervousness uses up a lot of energy. He could not afford to gas out against Mike either.

 

This is about prime Tyson, not the shot version who fought Lewis. Styles makes fights, so I do not see how Holyfield handling Tyson (closer to his prime) means Wlad has a chance.

I admit Wlad is great at using his reach advantage... but one have to see mostly against B level fighters. However, I do not think he would be able to survive the pressure from Tyson.

 

Tyson Vs WK would be the same as Tyson Vs Biggs, Tyson wears him down eventually....

 

Bowe handled Holyfield, Holyfield handled Tyson....but what would Tyson have done to Bowe??????

Lennox fought by far the worst Tyson ever, now times that Tyson by 100 and you have a prime Tyson. Lennox still took 8 rounds against that over the hill Tyson.

Golota hung in there because he has a better chin than WK.

 

Maybe being stiff and one-dimensional is enough. To beat Tyson is not primarily about talent, although it's obviously important, it's about being clever.

Leverage. Inside. Tying Up Effectively. A Lot. Bull Tyson around. Make him carry your weight CONSTANTLY. Throw uppercuts on the inside and do little else.

^ Blueprint for fighting Tyson for the first half of the fight. Expand in the second half.

 

U also need good footwork to avoid Tyson and make him miss


but more importantly u need a good CHIN, because Tyson WILL hit u, Douglas was on his ass and even Holyfield ate some shots.....

 

Yeah chin is all-important, and that's why even with a great gameplan, Wlad could not beat Tyson.

Footwork? It would help when you find yourself on the outside for sure. But frankly it's best to just constantly smother the hell out of Tyson.

 

Wlad would probably loose brutally via KO.

VItali would dominate Tyson and anger him to the point Tyson does something stupid and gets DQ'd.

 

confident,undefeated tyson would wreck that ****er in 1 no doubt. ya'll must've forgot!
