    Wlad really could beat most of these guys even today, hell, I give Wladimir a chance against AJ and Fury.

    As for the worst style for someone who is in their 40s etc. I'd say the Mike Tyson style, basically brawling/infighting is your enemy in your 40s.

    I always think defence first personally. I love boxing, but I also would love to hang it up with braincells. A passion for a hobby isn't worth dying for
    Mike Tyson’s style requires the utmost athleticism because it’s a counter punch defensive slipping shots simultaneously,it’s why he couldn’t even replicate it in the late 90”s as it was designed.

      Did really well against a prime Holyfield despite being 42 & chubby. He was clearly past his best but still put up a great fight, the only thing that got Holyfield through that fight was his youth.
      First person I thought of
