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

Im the best eva!

Mike is a boxing historian and a good strategist. He's damn right about how to face the Klitschkos.

Having said that, I don't think a prime Tyson would beat both Klitschkos easily. Mike was listed at 5'11, but in actuality he is about 5'9, maybe 5'10 at most! His best weight was less than 220. As much of a phenom he was, I just think he's too small for the Klitschkos. Vitali would survive the early rounds and eventually pick Tyson apart and win by UD. Wladimir would be the most vulnerable to a prime Tyson in the early rounds, but only if Tyson could get past Wlad's thunderous jabs and rights. Wlad's opponents get knocked out from blocked punches. If a prime Mike was 6'1 and 220 lbs, I'd say he could beat both Klitschkos handily.

Prime Tyson starches both Klits within 3 rounds. Before both Klits even try to hug and lean, Tyson jabs to the stomach and uppercuts them to death.

Buster Douglas beats every boxer in Heavyweight history going into the Tyson fight. If anyone here has a clue about Douglas' mindest going into that fight, NO opponent beats him.

That dont get old, its beautiful in the most brutal of ways.....
Spent like 5mins watching that shot!


Tyson merks both Klitchko brothers, too fast and too tenacious

That's precisely the tree chopping uppercut the Klits would come crashing down to.

Can I have some of what ever you are smoking? WTF seriously a primed Tyson would kill anyone who steps in the ring with him ... wouldn't even last a round like most

Obviously.. what YOU'RE smoking is much more potent than what the other dude is inhaling if you're claiming Vitali Klitschko doesn't get past the first with IrON mIKE. MiKE would have to go through hellascious shots from every angle in the book to even get close enough to throw a homerun shot at Vitali & look what happened when he tried to weave his way in against lennox.. regardless of how out of prime he was.. you could tell that it was a stylistic nightmare for Mike. A great big man will always beat a great little man.

With the way the Klits hug the **** out of anyone who gets too close, i think it would be a long hard fight for little Mike.

Theyre not just going to let Tyson throw his best shots up close. Everytime he steps in he gets bear hugged.

I can agree that both Klitschko's would have a hard time with prime Tyson but this post is ridiculous. For all intents and purposes Tyson knocked out that very same Douglas and was robbed when he got up at the count of 13. Vitali would stop Buster by TKO and Wladimir would have probably put him in a coma due to his heart keeping him in it long enough to get drilled with a perfectly set up straight right hand bomb.

prime mike wouold lose to vitali of any era, and only beat wlad in pre manny steward. Certainly 2008 onwards wlad destroys 5 ft 10 mike tyson.

This pretty much.

You sound shocked.

I suppose Tyson is only prime when he was Ko'ing bums and journeymen, OR is that peak fight vs Spinks where he is unbeatable?

Alright, if we play that game. Prime Wlad (Post Ko-losses) and Prime Vitali (post-Lewis loss) beat Prime Tyson.
