never stated fact have had an easy time stating my more plausible opinion... you are the one who decided to state that you would like to travel to the world in which people believed diffrent than you...and you also have made many comments about what would definately happen in fights that could never happen so there you go pal peace
Noway, Holmes was ancient in that fight and didn't train for it. He's admitted just taking the fight for the money. Spinks was a scrawny lightheavy who had no business fighting Tyson. He scrapped by the ancient Holmes in two debatable wins. Thomas was at best an average heavyweight champ and Bruno got whipped badly by a very young Lewis. Tucker was a tall fighter with nowhere near Wlad's power. Wlad conquered the defensive wizard Chris Byrd, the powerpuncher and massive Sam Peter, number one contenders like Calvin Brock and avenged his loss by burying and humiliatimg Brewster. Wlad beat younger, bigger, faster and more skilled fighters than young Tyson. TYson finally met a big, strong, tall boxer in Douglas and was K.O'ed. He was never any good after that and he was a mental case and serial criminal to boot.
Because Tyson would be afraid and leave the sentence? :hey But honestly a fight prime by prime would have been quite of a challenge
You call winning the WBO belt 'great things'?? Douglas became undisputed champion when he beat Tyson, it's hardly the same thing. Also if Sanders did put his full efort into fighting when he was 38 years old, how come he was still fat?
No. For several reasons. - Douglas was 30. - Sanders was 37. - Douglas was inspired by the death of his mother. - Sanders had already retired once before, and admitted he only returned to get one more big payday. - Buster had a 12 inch reach advantage over Tyson and used his jab to perfection. - Wlad had all the physical advantages over flabby Sanders. - Tyson fought Buster on neutral territory - Wlad fought Corrie in his adopted homeland - Tyson lasted 10 rounds with Buster, and the fight should have been stopped in the 8th in Tyson's favour when Buster received a "14-count" - Wlad was bounced all over the ring and stopped in 2 rounds.
Yes, but WALD was never KO'd though, he has a granite chin I could probably dig out a few good Klitschko fan quote of the week threads from this 10 pages of crap, just can't be bothered though. Prime Tyson is the ultimate nightmare for Klitschko. As for the 'best jab since Larry Holmes' remark....:nut
hmm Douglas won because his mom died...great boxing argument The comparison was that they both had boxing skill but wasted it with a lack of dedication...way to miss a point
Douglas winning because of his mum is no more idiotic than WALD losing because of vaseline/blood sugar/CIA interference/little green men now is it? There is a difference in dedication here though, Douglas really dedicated himself and beat the most fearsome opponent in the division. Sanders still didn't dedicate himself, and beat WALD who was just the WBO strap holder. If Sanders had beaten Lewis at the time then comparisons could be made, but he didn't.
WTF? Tyson would not even have to be at his prime to Wladamir, who's scared of his own damn shadow! For instance, I reckon the Tyson of 1995/1996 would be too good for Klitschko. If Tyson was aggressive early, which we know he would be, Wladamir would be overwhelmed & too apprehensive. Klitschko may indeed be the best around to today, but he does compare to Mike Tyson.
