Wlad Klitschko would murder Mike Tyson

[Steak]

Its true, Johnson got dropped by middleweights better than Ali did, and ducked top competition while he was champ much better than Ali did.

[Money Shot]

How many times i gotta say this if Brewster knocked out Wlad, Tyson is gonna wipe the floor with the Ukrainian champ.

Totally irrelevant. We're talking prime for prime. Wlad's prime is right now aged 35, Tyson's was 20-22.

[Who are you?]

Tyson was too 1 dimensional. I think he may be too small to get inside on Wlad.

Wlad would use his jab. Tyson hits hard, but what good is that if he can't land the punches?

I predict Wlad wins an easy decision or late round TKO over prime Tyson

That's the point. Tyson would land punches. I can't see Wlad avoid taking at least two or three flush shots from prime Tyson within the first four rounds, not if Klitschko came to fight. And can you honestly see the younger K brother eat two or three wrecking balls from prime Tyson and not "do the dance"?

That brings up another point. It's been mentioned that several men were able to tie Tyson up, "Boneclutcher" Smith being a prime example. That approach may have saved the culprits from being carried out on a stretcher, but it didn't win them any points. "Iron" Mike won those bouts by lopsided UDs.

The thread title should be renamed "Prime Tyson would murder Wlad Klitschko."

Prime Tyson was far too fast and explosive for either Klit... Can't stand how overrated they are. People just say that the jab would keep Tyson out... Do you realize how good his bob n weave was in his prime? I doubt Wlad lands more then a few jabs a rd, but it wouldnt go past 4 rds.

Prime Tyson had everything you need to KO Klit.

Great boxing skill.
Great footwork and head movement and defense - he'll get inside the jab
Always threw combinations
Great jab
Knockout power
Killer instinct
Determinaton
Athletic, in shape always

Tyson had everything to beat Klit easily. Amateur background, good corner, Tyson was really a powerhouse and skilled one at that. Id be scared for Klit.

[Marchegiano]

lol fanboy will be fanboys and haters gonna hate, but hell man. You gotta be pretty ****ed in the head to believe Tyson doesn't have a good chance of knocking out a Klit.

dumb asses

[Macks]

tyson never faced someone as big, strong, athletic and with the great conditioning of wlad. i think tysons cardio problems would play a big role in this fight. I could see tyson getting tired and wlad finishing him late.

[Mojita]

letme add Tyson had the footwork and bob and weave to always get inside. If Klit ran back constantly, Tyson was great at cutting off the ring. Theres even videos of him explaining how he cut off the ring. Im telling you a prime Tyson had everything down packed to perfection.

Everything you say of Wlad is true. It's also true that Klitschko has never faced anyone approaching the human wrecking machine that was prime Tyson. "Iron" Mike didn't have "cardio problems." His high energy style simply didn't lend itself well to prolonged wars. But remember, twelve rounds are a long time not to get caught with a thunderbolt.
