Wlad=won 51 (KO 45) + lost 3 KO% 83.33
Tyson=won 50 (KO 44) + lost 6 KO% 75.86
Damn their current records are very close!! Wlad shows to be edging iron mike on the stats, quite impressive!!! It will also go up after Haye feels a real punch!!
I love lennox's 1 2, one of the best hands down, but Wlad has what I call a laser right hand!!! If he hits u with that right, u get fucked up, ask same peter when he did the nigerian hoola dance lol!!
That was actually from a short little left hook. Probably didn't travel 12 to 18 inches, but you're right, it surely set him dancing down queer street.

According to Francois Botha, who fought both, Lewis hit harder.
what source was this? I could have sworn botha was quoted as saying wlad hit harder (even though lewis got him out faster). phil jackson saud wlad hit harder as well,,but I cant remember where I read that. anyway,,lewis did have great power in that right hand. they both hit as hard as hell
I don't think so, not at all. He did throw his right alot more than Wlad does lately, though. He'd throw that left hook straight right combo with lethal intent as often as he could find a hole for it.

Good post.
Tyson KOed a lot of journeymen, check BoxRec. He also fought a blown-up middleweights Spinks, and old heavyweights like a past-prime Holmes.
Spinks was no "blown up middleweight" That's a stretch there.
u forgot 1 thing tyson unified the division in a better era and was 5'10 the comparisom is stupid tyson had way more power
tyson didnt punch any harder than big wlad. he was just more viscious. he threw every punch with all his might and was much more agressive in his style
Mayweather has a higher KO percentage than Margarito does that make him a bigger puncher :rolleyes:
yeah how does that work for guys that jump up in weight?
You guys sound like u need some tail lol. all emotional. Tyson fought bums and so did wlad get over it.
very true.
is berbick , tubbs , ruddock , etc. that much better than byrd , brewster , ibragimov?
i don't think either tyson or wlad is on foreman and shavers level.
foreman and shavers were not the most technically correct punchers. it was just raw natural punching power.
tyson had unreal fast hands for a slugger and wlad's superior height let's them catch guys flush more frequently. both also throw their punches much more technically correct.
Yeah, KO percentages don't mean too much. Vitali has the highest KO % of any HW champ in history, but no one in their right mind thinks he hit harder than Shavers or Foreman. Earlier in his career, Wlad let his hands go much more, but his comp was pretty weak, so it's hard to make comparisons. I miss that Wlad.
