Answer to: Wladimir Klit vs Mike Tyson? What do you think

[Benny Leonard]

Wlad hadn't hit his prime yet

Wlad's prime started when he beat Peter

He has been undefeated since that fight and he avenged the Brewster loss...dominated Brewster in a 6th round TKO win

And yet you think Tyson, without Rooney and all that was said about him leading up to the fight with Douglas was somehow in his prime?

Picking and choosing at its best.

Read my earlier post

Here's my analysis

Vitali would keep the smaller Tyson at bay with his superior jab and pick him apart with lead left hooks and big right hands....The mental midget Tyson would get frustrated and discouraged when he realizes he can't intimidate or hurt the iron chinned 6'7 monster Vitali....Tyson either quits or gets KO'd.

Vitali by KO or TKO

And yet Tyson was able to out-jab 6'5+ Tony Tucker who had a much better jab than Vitali...faster for sure.

You also forget body-shots. The key for Tyson while with Rooney, besides the jab, head-movment, combinations, etc. was that he threw to the body. Even tall fighters can be taken down with body-shots. Throw to the body and the arms and head dip low enough for you to **** it. THat's what Happened to 6'6 Ribalta.

Mental Midget Tyson yet Vitali quit against Byrd. Good job.

It took how many years for Tyson to finally quit on his stool?

Figure, he didn't prepare for any fight after Spinks, got his ass kicked by Douglas (and didn't quit), went to prison, came back out and went all the way until McBride.


Wlad gets beaten by Tyson and Vitali will give him trouble. Never really broke down the Vitali fight so I'm not sure. One thing that Vitali should never do with Tyson would be to keep his hands down which he often does.

If we could just mold the two Klitschko brothers together that would be some fighter.

How do you know that Wlad hits exactly 10 times harder than buster douglas you dont he may hit harder but never 10 times harder thats just ******, and any one that thinks buster douglas is a bum has not seen any of his fights outside his poor showing against Holyfield the guy was a very good fighter, better than sanders purrity and brewster.

According to McCall, Douglas hit him harder than Lewis and gave him his toughest fight.

[Benny Leonard]

Buster Douglass is a bum, he couldn't even hold onto his belt one time... Got ko'd in the 2nd round by a cruiser-weight...

Which should show you what happens when you are motivated to fight and not. His body shape showed us what his mind was saying. Cash-out time.
