Does the Mike Tyson (circ.2000) that made Golota surrender beat both Wlad & Vitali?

    A prime Tyson, hell even the Tyson that showed up during the Ruddock fight would beat the K2 bros.

    What I noticed with the Haye fight was that defense was created by that out stretched arm. Nothing more or less. Not to mention, they aren't very fast even for heavyweights. I think Tyson would weave his way right up in there and unleash that fury to the body and chin.

    Even if they don't get knocked out, we would definitely see just how good the K2s are... borderline exposed maybe.

    The only feasible way I can see the K2 bros beating Tyson would be by clinching and putting all that weight on him to tire him out.

      Sanders had a punch that could rattle anyone, including Tyson. And that wasn't ruled a knockdown, it was a push.

      Vitali took the shots from Lennox Lewis that put Tyson on his ass and didn't flinch.

      Vitali too big, too strong, too tough for Mikey. Once Mikey shot his wad in the first round and didn't KO Vitali, he'd be in for big trouble.

        The Klitschko's destroy any version of Mike Tyson. People like to laugh at the current hw competition but forget that the Mike Tyson beat nothing but trash on his way up.

        Ever watch his "prime" fights on espn classic and not laugh hysterically at the absolute bums he was k.o'ing?

        His biggest win is a guy who moved up from lhw. Imagine if Wlad's biggest win was goddamn Chad Dawson. We'd all laugh our asses off.

        The minute Tyson fought anyone worth a fuck, he got destroyed EVERY SINGLE TIME.

        BOTH Klits MURDER TYSON.

          and exactly how is getting wobbled from a 6'4 250 pounder with a big punch and then winning the fight comfortably worse than getting KTFO'd by z level boxer buster douglas ?

            For the record.

            Sanders may have looked like a golfer, but he could fight and is one of the hardest punchers in hw history. So much so that he was able to rock Vitali, which is something not even Lennox Lewis's flush punches could do.

            Respect Sanders. If he had one oz of dedication he could've been an ATG. He barely trained and still got far.

                  Although I think Tyson is very overrated in the media I think that version of Mike still should be favored in a fantasy match against the Klit brothers. I mean who the **** have they beaten? They're the decent looking apples in a pile of rotten apples, that's all their legacy will be remembered as.

                  Wlad would be terrified against Tyson, throwing cautious jabs and scared to death of releasing his right. I mean look how scared he fights against guys like Haye, Sultan, and company, imagine the fear a Tyson would put in him. Tyson had great footwork and upperbody movement for a heavy and could get into Wlad's comfort zone and launch off some vicious combos that I don't think Wlad would be able to take. Haye showed Wlad's jab is not as good as believed and some simple head movement had him missing a bunch, Tyson by mid round KO

                  Against Vitali I think that's a 50-50 fight but I would still favor a fading Tyson.

                    I don't see that version of Tyson beating Vitali. I do see even the Lennox version smashing Wlad, he is stylistically all wrong for him.
