If tyson fought like a klitschko

If tyson won his fights like the klitschkos do, do you think he would have been anywhere near as big as he was?

hell no.

And if the Ks, especially Wladimir, had any sort of killer instinct they would be much bigger in the US.

Not even close. He was huge because of his balls to the wall aggression. Casuals love to see early, violent knockouts and Tyson's style was perfect for that. He'd be a club fighter if he fought like a Klit because he doesn't have the size or reach to do so. He'd just get outboxed and schooled.

Tyson wouldnt have even become a champion if he fought like a Klitschko. It wouldnt have fit his body type whatsoever.

[charlier14]

I dont mean if he adopted klitschkos style, I mean if he still won and lost all of the fights that he did but in the type of fashion that the klitschkos win their fights

nope, a huge factor of the klitschko's success is the quality of the Oppositon and their height and reach advantages. don't get me wrong, they are talented, but I really think those factors are more relevant.

if Tyson tried fighting an outside fight like that, he would get outboxed easy. he had a great ******* jab, but he just was too short to fight from that distance IMO.

I probably should have seen that.

no, he wouldnt have been as famous. a huge part of his popularity was how he destroyed people so badly and in such exciting fashion.
although being the youngest HW champ of all time would have been a fair amount of publicity on its own.

When you're 5'10 215 there is only one way to fight.

I don't think the Klitsckos fight enough alike to lump them together. And Vitali has fought differently since the 4 year break than he did before.

That and if Wlad fought like Tyson, he probably would've had the same 2 or 3 year prime Mike had, instead of going on more than 6 years now.
