Iron Mike Tyson vs. Wladimir Klitschko

[TitoFan]

There's several schools of thought regarding Tyson and the Klitschkos:

a. Tyson would have no chance against either Klitschko.
b. Tyson would mop the floor with either Klitschko.
c. Tyson would definitely beat Wlad, but would have a harder time with Vitali.

Interesting... I've never heard anyone say Tyson would beat Vitali, but maybe not Wlad.
That alone says people in general feel Vitali would have the better chance.

I'm in the "C" group. Wlad's chin would prove disastrous against Tyson. And Wlad appears to fight with fear of getting tagged. One thing is to "hit and not get hit", the art of boxing. Quite another is to spend 12 rounds pawing at an opponent, hoping not to get smashed. In Wlad's case, his opponents have come in with fear of their own, making for horrible fights.

Lyle, you say I'm sarcastic. But I've offered two basic reasons why Wlad would have little chance against a prime Mike Tyson. All I've gotten in return is a quote from an old Mike Tyson, and a post somewhere saying that Tyson is retarded. Hardly a convincing counter-argument. Meanwhile, the Tyson "nuthuggers", as you call them, provide reason after reason as to why Tyson would win.

It doesn't matter how long Tyson reigned vs. how long Wlad has reigned. Yeah Tyson burned out. What does that have to do with who would win in a head-to-head contest. In the end, Wlad will have the better career and better numbers. But again, how does that translate into Wlad beating Tyson?

Short answer: It doesn't.

1985-1989 Tyson would def mop the floor wıth Wlad...and he would also BEAT soundly Vıtali the way he beat Bonecrusher Smıth or Razor Ruddock. POST prıson Tyson would have some problems wıth Vıtalı but not wıth Wlad. I stıll say Tyson up untıl 1996 would also beat Vıtalı.

Mıke Tyson's LOSING effort ın the 1st Holyfıeld fıght showed just what a fantastıc chın he had whıch we really never knew about untıl Holy landed bomb after bomb and Tyson kept throwıng bombs hımself. That was a great heavyweıght fıght. Tyson untıl then stıll had plenty of fıre and decent defensıve movement. He was stıll good enough ın 1996 to wıpe Wlad out and wın agaınst Vıtalı--though maybe not by KO.

And talkıng about Tyson who fought Lewıs ıs totally fuckıng nuts. Tyson was already about 36 years old. No chance to beat Lewıs at that poınt. Dont even know why he tookk the fıghtç

So which is it was Lennox Lewis "old & washed up" or was he in "top condition" vs Tyson because in the fight right after that 1 calendar year later vs Vitali, Lennox was said to be "old & washed up".....so which is it fellas

All Holyfield had to do was roll & counter the entire night, those fights showed what a ring general Tyson WASN'T because he never adapted to Holyfield. Fantastic chin, Evander was said to not have any power and he gave back to Tyson better than he got. Look at Tyson's KO's who the fuck are those guys? You're telling me Wlad doesn't have the brains or the skill to fight better than Bruno? Better than Ruddock? Better than Smith who was more than a tad chinny in his own right?

TysonBomb I love your enthusiasm but your good points do not need to be personal. El Kabong likes the Klit brothers but he does give Tyson credit so there is no need to get personal with him.

You even made @TitoFan defend Wlad for his performance against Haye which says a lot.

LMAO, @Master.
I'm glad you see that, even if Lyle doesn't.

My thoughts exactly. But maybe coming from you, it'll be better accepted by @El Kabong.
From me, it's just sarcasm.

No, obviously you've studied everything so thoroughly that I will let you create my opinion.....ok, what do I @TitoFan think of this? Because I'm not able to form ideas of my own, I guess I was too busy with my slaves and stealing money from the working class and snapping the suspenders that hold up my seersucker pants
