    Ruddock took him to hell & back twice! None of these men are remotely comparable to K2. Most people on this forum seem to think both Klitschko's would lose to basically every solid Heavyweight of the past 80 or 90 years LOL. Truth is probably the opposite...

    Let's quote a trainer who has eyewitnessed both Tyson and Wladimir Klitschko:

    Question:
    "You have worked with a lot of world class fighters. Is Tyson the hardest puncher you have ever seen or should I say felt?"

    Freddie Roach (trainer of both Mike Tyson and Wladimir Klitschko)

    "Punch for punch I think Klitschko probably hits a little bit harder but Mike’s much more explosive."

    Larry Merchant about Tommy Brooks (trainer of both Mike Tyson and Wladimir Klitschko)

    "Tommy Brooks... perhaps paid one of the highest compliments to Klitschko, when he said, his hands are faster than Tyson's were."

    Emanuel Steward (HOF trainer):

    "That's a tremendous compliment, especially when you consider the man is 6'6""


    Yes mike had a good uppercut. But the hook speed and the uppercut get less and less relevant the more your opponents get out of reach. Thus such "surprise punches" come especially in close-range situations and therefore there is basically little chance to surprise the Klitschkos since they have perfected the skill of keeping opponents at bay.
