Cleveland Big Cat Williams 1963 vs Iron Mike Tyson 1988?

Hello Irene and another fun match up! 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 ht 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. As you said, 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 in no shape to continue as the referee halts the contest.

Winner Williams TKO11

As so much as i like Joe Frazier RIP there is no way that the combatants you mention at these years comes close to beating Mike Tyson. Tyson would have completed the equal thing to Joe as he did to his son Marvis KO in the first round. Joe had might be the first-class left hook in boxing history however Tyson will have had the great of each factor both palms. Every person knows how rapid Mike used to be but he was additionally very strong he would have transfer Joe each the place he desired him to head.There's a rule in boxing on no account slug with a slugger Mike Tyson used to be the best slugger. Let do the attention test. Which one would you battle if you needed to lol?See what I imply as bad as Joe was once there's no method i am combating Mike Tyson head up on my nice day now if which you can get him to come back down in weight let's imagine a hundred and ten lbs I would think about it. I can see Joe popping out going correct after Mike winning that giant hook at Mike"s head but Mike meets force with extra drive . Mike leads off with a lethal proper hand looking to finish it proper then and there he misses however comes again with a left hook that catches Joe on the chin. Joe stops in his tracks some thing white used to be visible flying from the ring . Joe is watching for his right eye.

Big Cat Williams

I think Williams would have beat Mike, Tyson wasn't much good against an A level fighter and the pre-gun shot Williams was an A level fighter. Mike quit on his stool to end his career, something no true great would have done. Williams by KO a couple rounds later than it took Holyfield to KO Mike.

This would be a good fight for Mike, as Cleveland had very good power, and was a powerhouse for a short period of time.However, this was probably the best version of Mike, so I'm thinking Tyson's quickness seals the deal after a couple of rough spots, in the 5th round.

The Williams that knocked down Liston, was very fast and one of the hardest punchers in history.

His size would allow him to keep Tyson off and frustrate him to the point of winning the fight.

It might go the distance where the Big Cat would win easy or he might stop Tyson in 8 rounds.

Lester...I respect YOU and your boxing knowledge but, I believe Liston was only floored twice in his career, one being May 25, 1965 in Lewiston and the other time vs/Leotis Martin Dec. 6, 1969 in Vegas. True Williams hurt Liston, but Liston blitzed him in both fights.

tyson much too fast for williams and hit as hard as liston im tired of people that have no knowledge of tyson at his peak asking stupid questions williams was a good fighter but was slower than tyson he was like liston he had a big punch but no speed
