Could Mike Tyson beat Wlad prime for prime

[Toe Injury]

the 5'11" peekaboo in me says tyson but the sports better says wlad

out of 10 fights wlad would take 7 tyson 3

out of 10 fights with vitali, vitali would take all 10, tyson not a round

i disagree, I think Tyson would fare better against Vitali cause Wlad maximizes his height and would make it extremely difficult for the smaller Iron Mike to plant one on his chin. I think Wlad wins 9 of 10 against Tyson just based on sheer height and reach advantages alone. Tyson-Vitali would be a lot more competitive.

You guys are all rookies of the sport. Tyson's head movement strength, speed, power in both hands, BODY WORK, and uppercut would ravage WLad. Tyson >>>> Brewster.

Tyson would KO Wlad me thinks.

Wlad was having a hard time hitting Haye. He couldn't line up his right hand and wasn't hitting Haye that cleanly with his jab. That bob and weave Haye was doing was frustrating Wladimir and making him very hesitant to commit to his punches.

Tyson just had too much speed, power, and explosiveness.

Bottom Line..... and i like Wlad

Tyson was good at slipping through someones outside defenses though and we all gasp in anticipation when someone slips inside of Wlad's defense and have seen what can happen. That's the 30% on chucking in Tyson's direction VS Wlad.

Vitali is about the same at every distance. He can fight similar to Wladimir at long range but also tie you up, parry and counter you at infighting range. He loves guys who walk forward into punches. The only guy who really gave him a hard time was Lewis and that's because Lewis was losing/retreating and Vitali carelessly walked into a couple of Lewis' defensive jabs. Against guys who are moving forward trying to initiate, he breaks them effortlessly and sends them off balance until they just cover up and look like they've given up. Between that, and having maybe the best chin ever, he would be able to weather Tyson's infighting and dominate him everywhere else. I don't see where Tyson would really be able to take advantage of him.

I can't see Tyson beating Vitali either. I don't think Vitali would KO Tyson, but he probably would win a decision against Tyson. I remember the Lewis-Vitali fight Lennox landed an uppercut that damn near took Vitali's head off and he didn't go down from that...His chin is too good. I don't think Tyson can crack it.

I don't know if Tyson would win or not but I do know that he would have taken way more chances to try to get inside of Wlad's reach to get some hits in. Way more than Haye did that's for damn sure.

[F l i c k e r]

Yes.

There is a very strong possibility that Tyson would win. Unlike Haye, Tyson stays small and compact with alot of head movement. Exploits the body too.

I luv Tyson but no... Tyson could never beat Holyfield.
