I like Mike in the 1st or 2nd round by tko! Mikes speed will overwhelm Wlad and his first or second step backwards spells his doom.
Wlad is a very awkward mover, very stiff legged and his height would be turned against because of a pressure fighter who fights using pressure all the time. Wlad fights guys just like him who stand in front and look to box. There are NO pressure fighters today especially in the heavyweight division. Thats why Louis, Marciano, Dempsey, Tyson would all have success against a guy who has ordinary talents. Some guys TRY to pressure him when its not in their DNA to be successfull!
A kid like Canelo isn't going to out box Floyd and this slow footed kid Wlad fought stuggled to try and pressure Wlad because its not his style!!!
Mike at his best is better and far more effective than Wlad is at his best!
I'm not a fan of either fact is I'm not a fan of any person. I'm a fan of boxing, I don't love or hate any fighter and if I speak negatively of someones style I'm not trying to degrade I'm simply offering a critique of their action. Ray

Prime for Prime, Wlad troubles Tyson early with that jab, reach and height advantage. Tyson would get tied up and frustrated every time he got close.
But ultimately, Wladimir would get caught and his chin would not hold up.
Wlad is at his best when he has fighters cooperating with what he is doing at a distance tentative about being hit by him and he always looks uneasy early on before he is sure of himself and his gameplan working while Mike starts so fast looking to get inside ripping opponents with power shot combinations. Wlad I think honestly would be overwhelmed early and stopped.

Couldn't even destroy Povetkin bro. Smh that fight was straight up garbage!
That is total schooling.
Plus povetkin is a undefeated world champ who got gold at 2004 Olympics...
That's why WLAD is 10000000000000000000000000 times better than mike Tyson.

I'd pick Wlad to win by UD. I can see Wlad fighting exactly the way he did against David Haye, and using clinches a la Povetkin, to neutralise the extra offense Tyson adds. Tyson is much more likely to gas later on in the fight, but even then I don't see Wlad going in for the kill. He doesn't need to

Prime Mike would have also flattened Lennox
Watching Mike was like watching a fight in fast forward
I wish one day we see a fighter with his natural skills again
If you watch the Pov fight, Wlads body was there to be punched, every time he slipped the jab he had a chance to go for the body, but for whatever reason he didnt
Tyson would just need one small opening such as that and it'd send shockwaves through Wlads body
Teddy Atlas would have kicked up a ****t storm if his fighter were being clinched like that, ref would never get away with it on his watch. Povs people didn't say anything which I find shocking.Last edited by FrankieBruno; 10-07-2013, 02:51 PM.

Wlad could probably beat 90s-2000s mike,,,
but a prime mike circa 85-88 would destroy wlad,,,,
If povetkin, peter, brewster, sanders caused you problems,, iron mike would destroy him
Mike was too fast, too skilled, head movement and footspeed to close the distance was amazing, and mike had one punch power, yet he threw combinations,,
Think about that,,, the dude threw huge power punches in bunches,,,
The fight would go like this,,,
Mike bob-n-weaving his way inside, landing brutal bodyshot, followed by a brutal uppercut, then a left hook, and wlad would be done......
If you think wlad stands a chance vs a prime mike, then you have only watched mike in his latter years vs mcneeley, holyfield, lewis,,, that mike was garbage compared to the young phenom of 86
