prime vitali vs. prime tyson would be a war, great fight

Didn't look to tough for Byrd or an old Lewis, the only 2 HWs he fought that weren't scrubs.

 

You based your prediction on Tyson's specific style. Bringing in other fighters who fight differently carries absolutely no weight. Also you are talking about a 38 year old Vitali. Does that mean we are supposed to use a 30+ Tyson as well?

Just give up.

 

Nice try

 

Vitali would never land. Tyson's defense and head movement would be too fast for Vitali's slow, Mr. Roboto jab. V would throw, Tyson would slip and move inside, and destroy V's rib cage until he lowered his hands and soon after fell asleep.

 

Vitali's movement around the ring would cause Tyson a lot of trouble but his warrior mentality would have him exchanging when he doesn't need to. Vitali keeps his hands by his sides a lot to throw at an up angle, which would catch Tyson, but having your hands that low would also work to Tysons advantage for obvious reasons. Vitali has an iron jaw from what we've seen and will not be intimidated at all. Tyson on the other hand would make VK miss a lot. Definitely a war and my head says Vitali but it could easily go the other way.

 

Vitali couldn't handle Tyson "slick style" but a nobody like Douglas did!

 

tyson was a can crusher and never good at fighting tall fighters.Vitali TKO late rounds.

 

Anybody who actually reads this thread will know what a moron you are. I would of left you be but you want to throw nonsensical arguments and insults around.

Still waiting for some technical arguments that don't involve the word "slick".

 

Prime Tyson chopped guys down with a consistent, brutal body attack, a long lost art in the heavies...Tyson KO5...

 

It's a real shame that more of his skill set has not been taken up by the next generation. I wonder how much is just related to current fighters not having his physical gifts?

His ability to close big distance and KO a fighter with that left hook as they were backing up and circling him was an awesome weapon.

 

Good questions...I think his natural attributes are pretty rare, especially his aggression, at least for a guy that can stay on track and put in the work...He was one of a kind but, I think Vitali is too...I think which ever way you see this fight, you know it would be a good one...

 

It's really interesting watching his insane aggressiveness in the ring. It's not like anyone else and then you see footage of him crying before fights and see that he is actually not the no fear killing machine he appears to be.

Tyson is a really interesting guy. Here's hoping he finds his way back to our sport because it would be better for his involvement.

Yeah I haven't actually made a prediction about the winner because I can't pick it. This would be an incredible fight, like you said.

Also I do believe that Tyson's hardest shots could KO Vitali easily, just like they would to any large mammal.

 

Vitali got stunned by Corries Sanders, Tyson could definitely take him out but it'd be a war.
