Iron Mike Tyson vs. Wladimir Klitschko

[generalbulldog]

Wlad's chin is so bad, I say Tyson probably wobbles him by throwing one of his famous forearms or elbows during the clinches. So Tyson brutally kos him within 3. With Vitali I say it goes the distance but who wins is a different kind of question.

The chin is the only issue for Wlad. Other than that, his style is great to go against Tyson. Tyson would more than likely catch Wlad and follow up maybe around 2-5. If Wlad makes it past 5 its his fight to lose.

Tyson doesn't beat Vitali.

All this "Tyson was unbeatable with Cus" is bullcrap. Tyson was vulnerable and he would have been battered by plenty of fighters.

That is true, but one of those fighters ain't Wlad. If someone were to say Vitali has a good chance of beating Tyson, that wouldn't be so laughable. But china chin Wlad? Hell, I say Amir Khan for his own weight class has a better chin than Wlad.

[El Kabong]

Yeah yeah glad you're being reasonable about it

Amir Khan doesn't get ready to go with every clean shot he is hit by, like Wlad

his whole style is based upon protecting his fragile jaw

To the people saying that Tyson didn't beat any good heavyweights in his prime and it was a weak division. Here's some food for thought.

Give me the list of Heavyweights that Wladimir has beaten that wouldn't have lost to Larry Holmes in 88.

Just gonna throw that out there. Of the list of heavyweights that Wladimir has fought and beat, can you give me even 5 that would have beaten Larry Holmes even in 1988?

Vitali couldnt beat an old, shot Lewis who took the fight against him on short notice after Vitali paid Kirk Johnson to let him fight Lewis instead

He nearly gets blinded and has half of his face mauled off against the only ATG (who was practically retired at the time) he faces and he's going to last against Tyson?

Please try and rationally explain how he's going to beat Tyson when pension collecting, retired shot Corrie Sanders nearly had him out in round 1? If Sanders' hand speed bothered him then imagine what his fate would be against Iron Mike? That stupid awkward style of his is exactly what Mike preys on. Tyson was the master at punching at angles ... he would get in range and start pounding his body and Vitali would lean back and back track towards the ropes where he would be at Mike's mercy.

If an athletic, mobile stone chinned Tony Tucker who was far more skilled than Vitali loses a decision against Mike then how would Vitali survive? You need more than just size to beat Mike ... Vitali will either hold and lose a decision or get stopped in the middle rounds. Vitali doesn't have the power to make Tyson earn his respect nor does he have the skill to keep him away.

Vitali couldn't even hit Chris Byrd clean and damaged his shoulder from MISSING. Tyson would put a beat down on him. I see him being finished the same way Bruno was in the second Tyson fight ... getting mauled when trying to hold on for dear life.

Vitali is only a "beast" in Klitschko land, full of fantasies and myths. In reality his record is piss poor, even worst than Wlad's and he never even fought a contender ranked higher than #3. His style of keeping his hands low and chin exposed will spell disaster for his chances against the most accurate, most powerful, explosive boxer to ever live. A lethal, lighting fast combination started with a right hook to the body, left hook to the jaw followed up with another right to the head of Vitali Klitschko would end his night.

All this "Tyson was unbeatable with Cus" is bullcrap. Tyson was vulnerable and he would have been battered by plenty of fighters.

Please tell me any fight that Tyson looked "vulnerable" from when Cus was around? Or rather I'll extend this to include Rooney.

You're a fucking moron. The "Cus style" changed 0 from the days of Floyd Patterson and eventually Tuson would have run into his Sonny Liston. It could have easily been Foreman but all his defeats are chalked up to "He was past his prime".....bullcrap he just finally hit a fighter that stood up to him.

Yeah fucktard because Berbick, Ruddock, Tucker and all of the others just stood there and let him punch them. Carl Williams fought back and "stood up to him" and we saw what happened to him. This stupid, fanatical idea that Tyson would just crumble if someone would fight back is childlike reasoning. The Douglas fight was the greatest upset in boxing history where the stars aligned and everything went perfect for Douglas and wrong for Tyson. Why do you think Mike was so eager to get a rematch done with him? He knew it was a fluke, an aberration, a stroke of luck. Douglas knew it too but he didn't want the mystique of that fight to be dispelled which is why he never fought him again. Its not the same as Wlad who gets ready to get KTFO every time he gets hit clean.

And Tyson's style was slightly different from Pattersons, and his chin and power combined with his hand speed were far superior.

Wlad is a carbon copy of Lennox Lewis but far more cautious with less in his arsenal of punches. And an even worse chin than Lennox. Lewis could fight at mid range and inside, Wlad is holding on for dear life as soon as someone closes in.

Only retards believe that Mike would lose to old Foreman ... who was out boxed by Holyfield and glass jawed Tommy Morrison. Holyfields attack had him dazed, what's going to happen with a much faster, harder hitting opponent?

So which is it?
Wlad beats Tyson with his left hand tied behind his back?
Or Tyson "around 2-5"?

You sure are confusing with your flip-flopping.

It's a hypothetical situation dumb ass Tyson could win or not I gave my account of what's likely to happen. But go right ahead and be a twat about it

I just dont go for the TYSON in 88 was unstoppable , yes he ripped through the HW's but he was beatable , he just fought poor fighters , when Tyson faced better fighters who fought back he lost via KO , he was not unbeatable.
Lets also not forget Tyson was a very small HW , he never faced anyone who was the size of Vitali , Smith was 16 stone 4 , i loved watching Tyson in his prime but he was over rated.
