Iron Mike Tyson vs. Wladimir Klitschko

[El Kabong]

Yeah Tyson would handle those guys just like he handled Buster Douglas right? The Klitschko's didn't fight Holyfield because what's the use of battering an old man?

All they've been doing is fighting old men, so why duck old man Holyfield?

Wlad looked like he was going into labor in his corner after being bounced around like a pinball from the likes of Ross Puritty, a journeyman with 20 losses on his record ... old Holyfield would do the same to him

Tyson at his worst, on a crash diet, tons of personal problems and minimal training nearly put away Douglas with an uppercut in the 8th round. Tyson, unlike Wlad who DUCKED Sanders, Puritty for the remainder of his career was looking for an immediate rematch with Douglas because he knew that it was a stroke of luck, a fluke, nothing but an aberration.

Wlad didn't even fight Brewster again until after he was inactive for 15 months and spent 9 months in a hospital bed recovering from a detached retina. Great stuff from Wlad, fighting disabled guys with only one functioning eye coming straight from the hospital.

And that Buster Douglas of the Tyson fight would beat both Klits in one night.

Ok when would a rematch against Purrity have made sense for Wlad? How about Sanders? Things never fell into place for that to happen BUT Wlad redeemed himself vs Brewster. Mike Tyson on the other had has NEVER won a rematch vs a fighter that beat him in fact Tyson has never gotten off the canvas to win a fight....Wlad has. I guess he's better at handling adversity
