Can a prime Mike Tyson KO Nikoli Valuev

[nathan_nall]

Good question... Because Tyson was known for taking people's heads off with single punches, its often ignored that he was a DEVASTATING body puncher. I remember this one fight... probably about Tyson's 12th or 14th pro bout, not sure, but Tyson couldn't get to the guys head... so he backs him into a corner and unloads 7 flush body shots in just over 1 second on the time clock. Valuev's size leaves his body open to punishment. I think a prime Tyson could have KO'd Valuev, but as its already been stated in this thread... it would be over several rounds and to the body.

Tyson would get to his head by making him lean on him with bodyshots. Taller guys who tried to lean on him were his food when he was young, they would give up their height just to evade his body punches and then he would uppercut em to death, please check this vid
