Klitschko - Tyson

Bruno seemed like a giant next 2 tyson . u can guess y .
Vitali is no Bruno . Bruno would have seemed like a stocky little midget next 2 Vitali .
Vitali would have been less reachable than Tucker and Smith were , did Tyson hurt them ? Danny Williams and Kirk Johnson were taller than Tyson and had longer arms , did they hurt Vitali ? did they reach Vitali ?

 

Williams and Johnson were NOT a peak Tyson.

 

In Ali's era heights were exaggerated by at least 1/2 inch , but I have seen Chuvalo listed @ 6'3" (vs Foreman) , and Shavers listed @ 6'2" i think . And as d time progressed same happened 2d exaggerations , they got bigger .
U saw d pic of them together , u tell me how tyson could reach vitali if vitali didn't let him . watch tyson vs tucker & tyson vs smith (both shorter than vitali , especially smith) and tell me how hard do u think tyson hit them on their jaws .

 

Of course not , that was my point , they were taller and had longer arms

 

I guess its damn lucky for Jack Dempsey that he fought Jess Willard, rather than got filmed playing golf with him!

Willard was as big as either Klitschko, and people keep telling me about how Dempsey was so much smaller than Mike Tyson!

 

Each fight is different.

Smith and Tucker were on survival missions. Judging by the way Vitali fights he wouldn't be. Then again with Tyson coming at him he may go into survival mode too!
At the end of the day i was just pointing out that it was ludicrous to pick Vitali over Tyson just because of height.
Which IS ludicrous.

 

:deal A good example of why you can't judge a book by the cover.

 

Vitali is always in survival mode but he has 2 make it look somewhat like a fight so he tried 2 hit his opponents . True that after being hit and hurt he doesn't seem like fighting in survival mode maybe because that's d best thing he could've done in order 2 survive in those situations .

Ludicrous is 2 ignore such a vast disparity and think that if Tyson somehow managed 2 get by a bit smaller men then he could've get by Vitali as well . Douglas was a bit smaller than Smith & Tucker and guess what ? Tyson's only hope would have been coming forward in2 Vitali's arms which vitali could land on him from more than just 1 angle (even if not from all angles) without moving , and then he does move .
And since Tyson wouldn't have been hurt Vitali's head like Sanders was able 2 , u won't c Vitali d slugger . Tyson's only hope will b 2 go 2 d body but he will have 2 pay 4 it with his head .

 

True. Incredible.

 

Kill the body and the head will follow........

 

Well i didn't ignore the height difference, i just stated you can't call a win just by seeing a picture illustrating the difference.

Obviously you give Tyson less of a chance than i do, that's your view so be it.

Personally i wouldn't discount Vitali at all, but there is no way in this world he comes through a fight with peak Tyson, without his mind, body and heart (and skin lol), having being severly tested.

 

His chin won't b tested , neither his facial skin . Maybe his chin's skin would have been , possibly neither as well .

His only part which might have been tested r his ribs and as stated previously , Tyson would have had 2 sacrifice his head in order 2 do so .

 

I think your looking at 90's Tyson. It wasn't easy catching a peak Tyson, his headmovement and footwork were outstanding.
Keeping him at bay was another matter. Vitali's arm punches wouldn't be much of a deterent.
And don't tell me Vitali has the best KO % in hw history. I know. The man isn't a big hitter, he is not feather fisted by any means, but he doesn't hit hard enough to keep peak Tyson away for long enough, were he wouldn't be taking damage.

Vitali i give every chance because of his chin, size and awkward style, but Tyson would be the favourite everytime for me.

Tyson would test his chin.
