Can you imagine the sheer hilarity of Klitschko trying to keep an '87 Tyson away from him? :laughing:
wow.. I'd love to see it actually, I don't think it would be about "keeping him off" as I think the Robot would be sleeping pretty much imediately
a) Klitschko doesn't hit as hard as say, Ruddock for a start b) Klitschko doesn't even have an uppercut Equation: small, fast, powerful P4P puncher + tall, robotic, questionable courage, safety-first EuroBum = Death of the latter.
Klitschko does hit harder than Ruddock, but is faster and much more accurate and punches more straight. Ruddock became overrated after the KO of Dokes. Apart from that he has no impressive victories. Wlad doesn't use the uppercut much that is true. And of course, he wouldn't even fight inside against Tyson, instead he would clinch there, and since Tyson was unable to deal with strong guys in clinches, it would work. Outside Wlad would bomb Tyson out. Tyson was more fun to watch, just like Arturo Gatti was more fun to watch that ODLH. It didn't really matter though when they actually fought
I doubt WK could bomb Tyson out having to hit in a downwards direction. No-one bombed Tyson out until he was pretty shot. :dunno:
I agree and take it one step further.. if Tyson hooks up with Rooney TONIGHT.. Feb 29th and they get in the gym tomorrow morning, within 3 months Mike could fight and knock Wladosmear the F out

If Wlad started bawling in his corner, and wept like a bitch throughout a fight against Lennox Lewis,... do you think you would ever be able to let that down? :crafty: You should be ashamed of yourself...::
Bull shit. Mike Tyson was freaking 23 years old when Buster Douglas dismantled him. He showed the world the blueprint for beating Tyson. Tyson didn't lose to Douglas because he was old or shot or missed Kevin Rooney. He lost to Douglas because Buster had the skill set, determination and chin to expose Mike's limitations.
come on Trpl, I know you do not believe that Mike lost to Douglas beacause he thought he was invincible and went on a party spree and lost all motivation and hunger he had.. he thought he'd just blow through everyone. he was doing nothing leading up to that fight but celebrating and partying
IF this ever happens, it will mean nothing. Tyson fans still waiting for Mike to beat Evander. :notallthere:
