Mike Tyson vs Cleveland Williams.

[abdelfadeel]

Iron Mike Tyson seemed unbeatable at one time during his career as he had those fast vicious punches which often left his opponent on the canvas as if they had been hit by a train! Cleveland Williams is also known for his awesome power as well and had 58 knockouts in his career with probably the most impressive being a 7th round KO of Ernie Terrell. He was all standing about 6'3" and had an 80" reach too. Tyson had decision wins against Tucker and Bonecrusher Smith and was also severely tested against Razor Ruddock too and I don't believe any of these guys were in the same league as a prime Big Cat Williams who was not only powerful but a fast and agile boxer too so this is how I see this fight going:

The fight

Tyson comes out strong against Williams looking to end matters early but is caught with some good shots as Williams also came to fight and is not scared of the intimidating Tyson. In the early rounds both men would trade evenly but Tyson is getting tagged with the cleaner shots as the fight goes into the latter rounds. After a hard exchange in round 11, Williams lands a bone crunching left right combo sending Tyson down to the canvas. Tyson makes it to his feet but is quick sent back down and stays down this time.

Winner Williams KO 11.

Another Dandee of a mismatch thread...good job and thanks for the laugh of a long comedic post. You favor the NO defensive skilled Williams along with the flat planted feet statue like off balance stance that was him when punches were thrown at him and if he wasn't doing that he was walking backwards with his eyes closed .... my guess is you are doing this.. when you make these threads because you seem to actually believe what you type....



Oh and to add to it....Tyson by one round murder !

Williams intimidated the fighters he beat with his power and size. Liston was not intimidated thus beat Williams. I cannot see Tyson being scared of Cleveland. So I believe Tyson could duplicate Listons feat and beat Clevland as well.

Tyson in 5 by Cleveland Steamer. That's what his hard right will be called when he smokes Williams with it.

Makes sense

Big Cat's chance of surviving Tyson's initial onslaught is not as good as Sonny's. But he will be throwing his biggest shots earlier.

The best authority ever on punch impact says Big Cat is way up there, so I tend to believe it. But if Cleve tries to constantly hook instead of jab to set up his right he will be beaten to the punch, because he throws a hook with a lot of curve which will put him in Mike's own firing range to be cloven by an even better hooker. No one in history is advised to trade hooks with Tyson in the early rounds. Tyson probably KO's Big Cat, but could be KO'd himself, depending on how hard that fabled punch really was.

You don't know what a Cleveland Steamer is, do you? You can look it up on Urban Dictionary if you want for more info, have a good chuckle.

And being married to Robin Givens, Tyson knows a whole lot about hookers.

Big Cat would have cleaned Tyson out.
It's hard to get inside when you are getting backed up with straight rights that make the back of your head contact with the middle of your back.
Tyson was overhyped in a dreadful mid to late 80's heavyweight division.
