How long did an old shot Tyson last against LL and then compare how long a prime Vitali lasted against LL. Vitalis claim to fame...."i was beating (old) Lennox before the fight was stopped." Well, so was Frank ****ing Bruno! This is for those who dont seem to remember Tyson in his prime
One thing I would bet the house on is that Vitali has an infinitely better chance than Wladimir against Tyson
The only fight I remember Mike inflicting cuts on his opposition was the first Bruno fight IIRC. And Holyfield's ear if one wants to count that. Any other ones?
Ah but the thing is, Vitali wouldnt be fighting THAT Tyson, he would be fighting THIS Tyson [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58aMy4MzVsU[/ame]
I see your point azzer, others won't. Remember each fight is different. But yeah it's preposterous to pick a winner just on height alone. Which is happening here. Bruno was no mug either!:good
Well i've reached someones jaw who was 6"6 and i'm only 5"10. So i'd give Tyson a great shot! :dealNo doubt
I once read that Tyson was seen standing next 2 ray leonard who was listed as a 5'10" and leonard seemed taller . d exaggerations of d lists r usually more than 1" . It is possible that Leonard used high heels though . And besides , Vitali won't just stand there and let him . Seriously , Tyson could not reach Vitali's jaw in a fight or in a sparring session . Never , unless Vitali goes down 2 his knees and Tyson hits him then .
i have seen tyson listed as 5'9 in some tale of the tapes. Not trusting don king and other modern publicity agents, it wouldnt surprise me. Saying that, size never stopped him from hitting Bruno, along with many other modern giants.
Well Ray is a lot slimmer than Mike so that can give the perception of him being taller, or maybe he did have heels on! Usually when height gets exaggerated, it's usually by an 1/2 inch or an inch, never by 2 inches to my knowledge, that'd be pushing it. Regarding Tyson/Vitali, well you keep believing that.
