Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Reveals His Strategy To Defeat a Klitschko

[Dave Rado]

Tyson would kill the bros, especially on the inside.

Tyson, even in his absolute prime, couldn't do anything on the inside against tall fighters with decent clinching ability and a decent jab. Watch the Tucker and Smith fights. (And as for the Douglas fight, okay he was under-trained, but that doesn't wholly explain how easily he was outclassed in that fight. And don't pretend that version of Douglas, good as he was, was as good as either Klitschko or your credibility will go down the drain.)

NO WAY.....JOSE
i like the Klitz bros, but, Early Champ Tyson....Too MUCH!!!

And yet you offer up to credible argument on why he is "too much" for them.

Tony Tucker, had a style similiar to the Klitz, and he went the Distance!!!!
Lot's of Huggy, Huggies!!!

LOL@ Tony Tucker. Alright, Wlad has a similar style to Buster, Lennox Lewis, take a pick. One knocked out a 20 something year old Tyson, the other knocked out the 30-something year old one. Which one is prime? These generic arguments are lame.

SPEED KILLS....., and Mike had it!!!

For about 5 rounds, and then he would fold against bigger, superior boxers.

Tyson would kill the bros, especially on the inside.

Klitcshko fans are hilarious, Wlad looked slow, robotic and 1 dimensional against Haye because Haye actually used HEAD MOVEMENT! The HW division is so crappy that rarely does anybody use head movement or uses body punching, if you watched 80s hws even they had head movement, fighters like Chisora were a dime a dozen in the 80s.

Vitalis chin is also CRAZY overrated, the only fight where hes really faced a power puncher was Lewis, a 38 year old, way out of prime and fat and out of shape Lewis. Even then right before the fight ended Lewis had Vitali hanging on for dear life from a massive uppercut.

If the fight had continued Lewis probably would've kod vitali.

That sounds all well and good in your head, but But Wlad is the master at controling the distance between a fighter and himself. Tyson wouldn't get past Wlad's jab to even think about going inside.

The Klits have a better record than Tyson. Vitali also fought better against Lewis than he did.

[Banderivets]

Neither Klitschko can do any sort of inside fighting, and considering Mormeck who can't fight on the inside surprisingly was able to come inside on Wlad before both fighters clinched.

Tyson would get inside and work there instead of getting clinched.

How would he work inside? How do you not clinch with a Klitschko if they hug you? They are too strong to get tossed or pushed around...Men that big you can do very little...

Ever got in the ring and fought someone much bigger and stronger?

I think people fail to realize just how strong the Kbros are.


And I'm so damn tired of people bringing up old timers who would supposedly beat either brother...Sorry it aint happening.....the game evolves.

The only old timers who would have any business fighting a Klitschko, or Lennox for that matter are Ali, Big George and Larry Holmes.

WTF Would Joe Louis or 5'11" (if that) Joe Frazier would do against either one of those guys? God damn.....some people are just blind or Bert Sugar has a bunch of alt accounts.

This is not 50 years ago...Fighters weight train and exercise has been transformed into a science. These are not just big men who are blessed with genetics like in the old days...These guys are blessed with genes and they train at an unprecedented level...Wlad can probably bench both Louis and Frazer at the same time...What inside fighting when that beast leans on you the moment you come in close? Or uses his pole of a jab to keep you at bay...

Close the chapter and move on.....its a new generation.

Vitali fought better against Lewis than Tyson?

Old Tyson lasted 2 rounds longer than a prime Vitali...

Looking at how easy Chisora and Mormeck got inside, I cant see either lasting long with Tyson. Who have either of the brothers fought that could compete with Holmes, Tyson or Lewis? Are we supposed to ignore all their losses and pretend they didnt happen? The only reason Wlad has had an extended run is he is fighting cruiserweights...

I agree 100% with the guy who wrote that athletes evolve.

BUT only up to the 90's era. LIKE BOXERS have been steadily evolving in athletic abilities up to the lennox lewis era, after that it's actually a massive regression. Like holy **** it's a huge regression.

Compare the bodies of a prime Rid**** Bowe with a prime Chris Areeloa or a Samuel PETER.

The only two boxers that have 'evolved' are the Kbros. And if you look at the overall body of Wlad and Vitali they don't look anywhere near as powerful as Lennox did. Go watch Lennox vs Tommy Morrison or Lennox vs Tua. Go watch Rid**** Bowe vs Evander Holyfield. These guys look like god damn animals. Like Seriously the evolution pattern is clear in looking at Sonny Liston up to lennox Lewis, but after lewis I dont see a god damn thing happening with this evolution theory of athletes when it relates to boxing.

Sonny liston looked like one mean mother***er >>>>>evolves into >>>>Lennox Lewis looking like the god damn predator on crack>>>>>> evolves into Chris the nightmare Arreola.

Comparing the KBROS to the 60's and 70's fighters they looked big and way out muscled. But comparing them to the 90's guys the size factor isn't that big at all.

Of course this could have a lot to do with the ****ty talent in the HW Division. Because these super middle weights nowadays look monstrous

[polarcub]

Just watched Frank Bruno fights.... ya... 90's heavyweights was the true athletic freaks. This guy look like a ****ing wolverine beast. K BROS belonged in that era, not this era of fat oversized tomato cans .

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

It would be a hell of a fight, but I think the Klitschko's would break down to that kind of pressure, speed and power. They are too big to fight at that kind of pace. No disrespect to the Klitschko's. I rank them in the top 5 in terms of who would have beat who in their prime.
