Admit It, Wlad Klitschko is better than Prime Tyson...

Agree/Disagree?


ps: I think Wlad would have KO'd a prime Tyson. He's too powerful and has a huge reach...

Wlad is OVERALL a better boxer and athlete. He's built like a damn chiseled stone statue.

Tyson had better footwork, better hand speed, better head movement, better combinations, better body punches. Wlad has a better jab and maybe better power when he is willing to actualy let his right hand go and maybe better defence but that is more because he uses his height so well, I wouldnt pick Wlad over Tyson i could very well imagine that Tyson would have psyched Wlad out and win the fight before it started. Vitali is a different matter.

Wlad and Vitali share the same fate as Larry Holmes, in that they do not get the credit that they deserve do to the state of the HW division. But by no means do I feel as though Wlad is better than Tyson in his Prime. He may be better than Tyson after he came back. But a focused, young, powerful, relentless Tyson with bad intent couldn't be stopped. Tyson moved his head, new how to get in, and was so quick and powerful that his fights were over before his opponent knew he was in the ring. If he would have sustained the drive and focus he had early in his career, who knows where he would be on the list of all-time greats.

The **** he is Wlad scared and boring, Tyson scared people and was exciting end of story. Tyson had a chin Wlad doesn't and is unwilling to dominate in entertaining fashion.

i agree with T.S

Tyson is maybe the most overrated boxer of all time

Maybe Wlad could have won but excitement wise, Wlad couldn't shine Tyson's shoes. I think Tyson could even beat Wlad (prime Tyson); there is no denying his power and agility.....Wlad would be running for his life most likely

Couln't have said it better myself. Wlad's chin is suspect and not good to have a glass jaw fighting tyson, even if your almost twice his size. Vitali would have a far better time agaisnt Tyson, has the size but is tough enough and aggressive enough to keep Tyson at bay long enough to frustrate.
