Iron Mike Tyson vs. Wladimir Klitschko

[generalbulldog]

As someone here has stated, to assume Wlad beats '88 Tyson that would mean Tyson never did land 1 clean head punch on Wlad. That version of Tyson always landed one clean and hard punch to every opponent he faced up to that point, that would include fights where he went the distance with guys like Tillis, Green, Tucker, Smith. And I would say Tyson would be able to land one on Wlad. With that being said, would Wlad be able to take the punch? I would say no, considering we know that Wlad has a below average chin.

Yaar he wouldve pulled out citing menstrual cramps and bleeding ... And then duck him until he went to prison and then end up retiring while Mike was in prison claiming Mike didnt want to fight

Wlad has a better chance than you may think , You are over looking the fact with his sheer size , I dont think Tyson would be able to bite Wlad's ear off , I think he is just to tall

David Haye took 3 rounds from your boy and made hum look foolish at times by dodging 4 and 5 punch combos with ease

Tyson was breaking ribs, moving cervical disks out of place, wiring jaws shut, and breaking bones in people skulls

He regulary beat guys as big as the klits ... David jaco, sammy scaff, tyrell biggs etc ... That leaning back arms out nonsense that the klits call "defense" would be an open invitation to Tyson ... Guys who did that and moved back suffered the worst beatings

You guys have to understand that this is an wildabeast vs lion matchup ... The ungalate may look formidable with its size and horns from the exterior but its percieved strengths are just superficial and wont save it from the hungry jaws of the lion

Beyond his size Wlad is a panic attack glass jawed disaster waiting to implode.. He has never seen anyone like Tyson while Tyson never fought anyone who wasnt taller and bigger than him

I think a difference of opinions in life are healthy , but to clear up a few points , Wlad is not "my boy" as you put it.
To compare Sammy Scaff / David Jaco to the brothers grim is just silly , dont forget Wlad would be punching back.
As for your child like stamping of the feet quoting the breaking of bones etc , i dont remember to many world class fighters he fought suffering these injuries.
Tyson was a bully , very good yes , unbeatable no.

The klits dont punch when they back peddle, they extend their arms forward and lean back

Razor Ruddock and Andrew Golota suffered these injuries ... Both of their careers were changed after that ... Razor Ruddock was a harder puncher than Wlad yet he couldnt contain Mike Tyson with his monstrous power ... and he was the most dangerous and feared heavyweight in the world after Mike. Andrew Golota was also a world class boxer, although a head case. Him quitting saved him from further serious injury against Mike.

Mike Tyson is the most explosive boxer in history, bar none. Watch Tyson vs. Ribalta and look at Ribaltas reaction to Mike landing the greatest, most powerful uppercut in history sending him across the ring and to the canvas. His facial expression says it all. Wlad would be unconscious, out cold if that ever landed on him.

A list of tall heavyweights 6'4" and above that Mike fought and for the most part, easily defeated

Sammy Scaff - 6'5"
David Jaco - 6'6"
Mitch Green - 6'5"
Jose Ribalta - 6'6"
Alfonzo Ratliff - 6'4"
James Smith - 6'4"
Tony Tucker - 6'5"
Tyrell Biggs - 6'5"

There are more but this should suffice.

You Klit lovers will STILL claim that their size would save them. Why didn't it save all of these other guys? Most of these guys had a similar style to the Klits too, they jabbed and grabbed for the most part.

Tyson had DYNAMITE in both hands and would finish either Klit.

I get your disdain for Wlad. But didn't you just exaggerate one point just a little bit?
Exactly WHICH 3 rounds did "I hurt my toe" Haye take from Wlad?
He landed 72 punches in the ENTIRE FIGHT.

See here's the thing: Sometimes Wlad's opponents are just as scared of Wlad as he is of them.

Cmon guys.

Would prime tyson beat a prime Wlad?

Lets ignore hindsight and all that and respect that wlad is the man of this era but he comes up short against iron mike.
