I don't know abouting beating Wlad but I'll give him more chances despite he'll look like a midget compared to him.

Prime Tyson would destroy all nonsense about "short guy couldn't beat huge guy with reach, height and generally weight advantage"

Not at all.

All credit Wlad deserves is dissolved because of his ugly style. Tyson May have had some success early on but would become frustrated and Wlad would outpoint him.

No, Prime Tyson would have definitely landed few punches early on with his speed and immense pressure. Tyson's punches would destroy Wlad's balance for sure. He couldn't have kept doing what he was doing against Povetkin today against Tyson. Prime Tyson was fast enough to send a punch before a clinch. And Tyson's body punches were also very hard unlike Povetkin's featherfisted body touches.

No need, here the ruler swarmer against boxer will apply. Tyson will get inside, Wlad will clinch. Tyson will pressure on. He will clinch again. Tyson will keep going again with more and more bob-weaves and he will land one uppercut that will destroy defense of Wladimir for the rest.

If Wlad did have a chin ( like Ali has ) he would have beaten Prime Tyson but i am sure Tyson wouldn't let him go his face clean. And Tyson's 1-2 punches would put Wlad in very shaky state.

A pre jail Tyson would have knocked Wlad out in the first, in my opinion.

His style was all wrong for Wladimir.
Tyson did not fight inside, he would try to keep the fight at mid-range and throw combos while still bobbing and weaving.

A guy who is good on the inside could trouble Tyson (i.e. Holyfield).
A guy who holds his ground and has enough chin to survive the initial onslaught, could break Tyson's will to win.

Wlad though is neither, his negative approach would, in my opinion, be tailor made for a guy who wants to be the aggressor, like Tyson.

Prime Tyson would have a very good chance to KO Wlad.

**BTL** · 10-05-2013, 05:28 PM

would be one of wlads easiest fights.

Toss up

Tyson could blitz him early. Tyson had winging overhand punches that still generate power. Look how he put Holmes down for good, he threw awkward punches that only he could execute.
Tyson becomes frustrated later and a hug fest could ensue. Wlad can survive the early barrage and win a decision with boxing and holding.
