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

[Atreyu Khalil]

Prime motivated iron mike makes Wlad quit before the 5th round.

Shouldn't a fighter always be motivated? Wasn't Mike motivated as the champ to fight Buster Douglas?

Tysons best win is vs Larry Holmes after Holmes was coming off 2 losses to Spinks.

No hating at all, but Michael Spinks was Tyson's best win.

Tyson actually said nothing about beating a Klitschko but fighting one. He also said "a style like Frazier or Armstrong"...... Never mentioned Mike Tyson, although, as far as I'm concerned, his own style would have been far better than either Frazier's or Armstrong's.

I like both Klitschko's, but I have Tyson in my top 5 All Time heavyweights. His means of getting close, his speed, elusive head, and ferociously accurate inside punching would make him a favourite to beat any fighter who ever lived. Tall or short made no difference to him. What always happened was that once the opponent forgot to keep his arms and glove in the proper place and moved them a little, Tyson was in like a striking arrow. His body shots would bring any fighter's arms down and he'd switch like lightning to the head..bingo.

It was Tyson's amazing head and body speed which brought it all on.

Wait? top 5? by beating Larry Holmes after he was beaten twice by Spinks? Losing to a 50-1 underdog? No HW Ever has lost to a 50-1 underdog, Tyson was good for 3 years or so. How can that be Top 5?

Best name= Holmes

Best win= Spinks (I can agree to that)

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.

I disagree. Spinks was little more than a name at heavyweight. Certainly not the great fighter he was at light heavyweight.

Beating the lineal undefeated heavyweight champion twice sure is a remarkable accomplishment though.

Tyson was a master at neutralizing the jab and lets not forget his BRUTAL body punching....

Tyson beats glassy Wlad but might have some trouble with Vitali's durability and size.

Don't think Wlad could handle the pressure and teh Body punches and if a left hook, over hand right or uppercut from Tyson lands then it's nite nite for Wlad.

Klitchkos, lol

No, Douglas was not as deserving as others for a title bout. it was merely King's money manoeuveringwhich brought the fight on. The betting odds were 42-1 against Douglas, so there is no way that he deserved the fight.
