Maybe because it's not hype?
A Prime Tyson coupled with his problems still managed to become youngest champion ever.
Seriously, i don't know of another boxer who had so much trouble outside the ring than in the ring than Tyson.
If it was not his family dying it was his coach dying, if it was not his coach dying it was manager dying, if not that it was his wife leeching money and wrecking his mind, if it was not that it was Don King messing up Tyson and Don King's Money issues, if not that it was Don King making Tyson fire his trainers etc.
Even then Tyson was a real rare talent and had his career progressed like a normal boxer, could have achieved so much more.
Only other boxer that had a hectic life outside the ring was Ali, who lived in times of bigotry and was scrutinized by the government for not being their tool.
These are moder day boxers who faced troubles. You'd think in this day and age life would be easier and in contrast to HW's back i the days of Black Fighters at around the Jack Johnson era.
I cannot try to favour Wlad (or Vitali for that matter) against a prime Tyson.
Seriously, their very talented fighters, but don't let the disgraceful state of the HW division make them appear to be better than they are.
Wlad showed his limitations against mediocre fighters. Against a a first tier HW Champion like Tyson, i don't think Wlad stands much of a chance in seeing the final bell, in my opinion
