Prime Mike Tyson vs Todays Heavyweights

[Dynamite Kid]

The problem with Tyson after he left Rooney was that his training habits began to deteriorate, on top of that Rooney knew Tyson in and out and had great ring advice. Guy's like Ronnie Shields and Freddie Roach don't know Tyson's style, they didn't know how to work Tyson in and out to get him mentally prepared for fights. Watch the Frank Bruno fight and then compare it the one with Spinks or any of his past fights, there is a difference.

against Bruno he did look easier to hit & he hardly threw anybody shots untill he finshed the fight with his signature Right hook to the body right uppercut to the head

Well he did look better in the Douglas fight, but looked nowhere his best. The thing is Tyson is a Cus D'Amato fighter, since Rooney was tutored under D'Amato he knew Tyson's peek a boo style along with a rigorous training secession. That's why Tyson was never successful under different trainers, and of course there was his mental weakness and poor management.

Prime tyson ko's all of them

[THE REED]

Prime Vitali Klitschko 6,7 250 lbs would beatdown 5'11 220 lbs Prime Tyson

This is a bad style matchup for Prime Tyson...The Klitschko's have a huge size and reach advantage.

whats the point in measuring out sizes? like that HAS or HAD EVER anything to do with mike tyson winning in his prime... it didnt matter WHAT size they were... they didnt last

Klitschkos and Tyson KO's

Tyson would be able to slip inside and make Wlad uncomfortable, but it's very possible Wlad just picks him off while Tyson comes in. That's an interesting match.

[Scott9945]

Wladimir takes no chances and dominates Tyson with his terrific jab. Thompson would have been a tough matchup for Mike. Tyson beats the rest of them.

When has Tyson ever beaten a guy like Wlad or Vitali? Let alone a guy as big.

[Jim Jeffries]

Anyone that says prime Tyson easily KOs all of them vastly overrates the competition that Mike was fighting back then. And the last great Heavyweight? Holyfield and Lennox Lewis anyone?

Very interesting. I think that if Wlad gets lazy with his jab and tries to set it up, it's trouble for him.
