Personally I doubt Wlad would be calm and collected. He's fought scared against the likes of Sultan (who was in turn scared of him). So what makes you think he'd be calm and collected against the human wrecking ball?

Also, "I could see him keeping Tyson at range or tying up on the inside..." The only way to keep Tyson at bay was for the opponent to use his body, and to throw meaningful combinations, like Douglas did. I've seen plenty of Wlad fights and have never seen him fight like Douglas did that night. Douglas was taking it to Tyson, while in the process taking some shots of his own. Wlad fights in primarily a defensive pose. Always ready to use his arms to shield him from any dangerous shots. Also, not too many people were successful at tying prime Tyson up on the inside. What makes you think a scared Wlad would've been able to do it? Wlad tried pathetically to tie up against Brewster... and what happened?

I think the "downhill train wreck" is by far the most likely scenario.
Right, feed him your reality of a hypothetical situation....see @ninjaspy3 this is how you become "open minded" by having your own ideas and then having someone say "Yeah, ummmm you're wrong and here's why", this is what TitoFan does just say "You're right, I can't argue with you on this hypothetical situation that'll never happen" because he won't allow you to use your logic and rational, because an "open mind" to him means "his way"....get used to that.
