Does wlad now possess a tyson type aura?

[Zizou3]

Wlad is a greater Heavyweight Champ than Tyson ever was.

Wlad is more humble, intelligent and a better role model for children.

Tyson's so called "aura" was the product of him being an absolute animal.

for those who don't know who tucker is i have something special for you. ALL should grab a bag of popcorn & a beer.

i bring to u PAST PRIME TUCKER VS PRIME LEWIS LOLOL

notice that A past prime tucker SCHOOLS prime lewis in the battle of the "big man" jabs & blow for blows in the very first round. pay CLOSE attention to the first round and look at how tucker deals with lewis. although a past prime tucker was down 2 times in this fight he fought a hard close competitive fight with a prime lewis. lewis won a close tightly fought UD. that tell us that tucker was NO bum in his prime. prime tyson was GREAT

No, it started way before he acted like an animal. It was for knocking guys out early in devastating fashion, something Wlad lacks. Most of the time Wlad has to wear down his opponent to get him out of there, like Ali. Its not done impressively like Tyson did. Wlad is boring, Tyson was freekin amazing early on. When you watch a Wlad fight, you are not expecting a KO early. When Tyson fought, it could happen at any time with any punch. Now that is what you call amazing.

lol @Freedom fighter for ignoring my post. You know what I say is true, that's why you give red k. The truth hurts.

Lennox Lewis turned down a career highest purse in 95 and accepted a miniscule amount of step aside money to avoid fighting Mike Tyson. Lennox had never seen a payday close to what he would have gotten.

Your case simply holds no water. Tyson is the most intimidating boxer in the history of boxing. Some may argue Sonny Liston and I am fine with that.

But to say either Klitschko is more intimidating than Mike Tyson is ignorant and ******.

I think you have a point because I did notice how scared ole Buster was of him.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL look at this vid and welcome yourself back into realty.

tyson was a boxing god vs anything to do with wlad LOLOL

I want comparing him to tyson. Tyson is by far the better fighter, I'm not doubting that. I was just saying wlad seems to beat his opponents from the moment they sign the contract. They all say they have the gameplan to beat him and will ko him, but when they get in the squared circle they freeze up and choke when they see him.

I dont see it. Im a big fan of both guys, but Tyson had you beat before you even signed the contract. I think alot of the guys fighting Wlad go into the fight thinking he is soft which gives them a chance. It isnt until a round or two in that they realise what they are up against.

The big difference is that the Tyson aura of invincibility was one of excitement and terror. As in, "this dude is a badass and he will destroy you", YOU MUST WATCH...Whereas the Klitschko aura is that *yawning* "should I even bother tuning into watch" type of predictability that comes with watching a nine foot tall robot prod his much smaller opponent around until all life and resistance has been jabbed out of him.

I this Wlad and Tyson are both tremendous fights but they are very very different.

People feared Tyson for sure, he was intimidating as a personality as well as a fighter. People were afraid of his viciousness but I think alot of people didnt avoid him because they thought they could handle him by boxing him and keeping him at distance with the jab, ala Lennox. Only in his prime that was impossible to do because of his incredible defense. His defense was what set up his offense and was highly underrated.

Wlad on the other hand... people know they really only have a punchers chance and they are going to take 9-12 rounds of a savage beating. People are afraid of this.

Ask yourself... would you rather be knocked out in one or 2 rounds Tyson-style, or be savagely pulverised by a battering ram jab for 10 and THEN knocked out Wlad-style?

Most would go for option 1 and thats why Wlad is being avoided. Fighting Wlad (or Vitali) means a long sustained battering that will reduce your punch resistance for the rest of your career.
