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

[jri9d0]

but no ones going around saying Wlad is an unstoppable beast

That's not what I'm implying, one could argue the disparity between levels of competition between the two, but no one can argue against how Tyson BRUTALLY disposed of his. Which is why most is labeling Tyson as some unstoppable phenom. Unfortunately the same can not be said about Wlad.

Isn't that all this thread is, is opinion.

Yes but the way you worded your previous sentence to me implied that it was a fact more than an opinion

[cooper5]

Hard to imagine a fight between them going 5 rounds.

so in your words (and I quote) Tyson "never had the ambition,frame of mind or physical gifts to be everything that he was hyped up to be" ?

So I guess those early round brutal Ko's where an illusion to the public?

Listen, I'm not stating Wlad would just get walked over in this fight but just think, if a southpaw golf enthusiast in Corrie Sanders can beat Wlad like he stole something from him what in your opinion would Tyson do to Wlad?

Wlad + Power punchers = loss

Fair?

[Frighteous]

There are no things certain in boxing, a good example is when Toney fought Ruiz, a draw didn't seem like a possibility but it happened. Just like it would happen if Tyson managed to swarm in and nail Wladimir on the chin early with a left hook. I'd say Wlad had a 75% chance of defeating a prime Tyson, while there was a small chance he'd get blasted on the chin. If Tyson connected flush on Wlad early in the match enough for Klitschko to go down, Tyson would finish him.

[Wreckless]

A prime dedicated Tyson would abuse Wlad.
It's been known Tyson hardly trained nor had the motivation and dedication to always be at his best. Although he always had the heart to fight.

[antrob]

Agreed. If they fought head to head at their prime, Klitschko keeps Tyson at bay with his jab all not long before he stops him late. I commented on a thread like this on PCFLBOXING.com a couple of weeks ago and they were calling Tyson a all time great.

If he isn't better than the best heavyweight of this era how is he a all time great?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I'm almost 100% convicned Tyson stops Wlad in one round.

Corrie Sanders would have beaten Danny Williams and Kevin McBride.

If you want to say Tyson will win just because of one fight that Klitschko took lightly then you obviously haven't really put any thought into this.

When Tyson doesn't prepare correctly, under trains and underestimates his opponent it's "Oh that's just one fight he is still the greatest"

When Wlad does the same thing it's "Oh he sucks, he lost to Corrie Sanders"

The fact that you take the chance to refer to him as "golf enthusiast" just goes to show that you cannt bring yourself to be unbiased on the matter.
