Wladimir Klitschko vs Mike Tyson

[burningspear]

Everyone picking Wlad say he would hug Tyson to a decision. Fuck that bs no wonder HW boxing has been in the doldrums for so long.

 

[defjaam]

And Tyson is the better fighter and worse matchup of the two.

Sanders battered Wlad inside.

Then why doesn't Tyson have a win like Sanders, who has Klitschko on his resume?

 

[Absolut]

Holmes? Spinks? Berbick? Tucker?

Lamon Brewster....

 

[StewDogg11]

Watching Wlad flail around the ring like a baby deer on ice against Lamon Brewster makes me think there’s no way he’d survive 36 minutes with Tyson.

Uhhh. What?

 

[Stormtrooper85]

So you think Tyson was in his prime when he fought Buster Douglas?
There were 2 Mike Tyson’s;
with Cus
after Cus

Cus died when Tyson was 18 when he was 12-0 so, was that it? 12 fights in his prime? Tyson was 23 when he fought Douglas which was still his physical prime.
Making terrible decisions prior to the fight doesn't mean he wasn't still in his prime. This excuse needs to stop.

I think you need to reformat this post.

Sanders victory over Klitschko is better than any of Tyson's victories.

So how is Tyson a better fighter than Sanders @PUO3?

I wouldn't say that at all, when Sanders beat Klitschko his best wins were an old Ray Mercer and Chris Byrd.

And the wins he had later on were better than Byrd, who is underrated as fuck?
Also can you please stop quoting me? I wasn't talking to you.

You just quoted me so i'm replying, also Sanders doesn't get more credit cause Klitschko got better later. I don't think the Klitschko that Sanders beat is better than Tyson's best win.

Sure tyson was better. May be relevant, may not be. Sanders and Tyson fought nothing alike

Different wlad that sanders fought also.

I dunno. Sure tyson could blast him out early. But if he doesn’t? Its probably jab jab grab, occasional right hand in a decision for wlad

Tyson for the most part had problems with fighters who did what wlad can do

I understand but after Cus passed Don King was able to systematically remove all the people that kept Tyson grounded and focused which eventually caused his demise.

Wlad didnt have the chin or skill to beat a prime Tyson or even last 5 rds with him. His brother Vitaly I think would be a better fight. Wlad dominated in a weak era say what u like it was a weak HW era ........ finally HW is getting good again.

Tyson knocks any version of Wlad out within 3 rounds.

Yup. Terrible match-up for Wlad.

Because the all-time greats Tyson faced did not have glass jaw.

They never faced anyone great.

 

[Boy God]

Would not last a round

If you watch the Sanders fight it is painfully obvious how Tyson is a problem for Wlad. He gets inside and wrecks his shit.

Wlad doesnt have the chin to stall Tyson for 12 rounds.
