Vitali manhandles the small, undersized man and his overrated power that was only useful to KO bums pretty fast and a faded, comebacking version of Holmes, much to the dismay of the fanboys that played too much Punch Out as kids. Tyson only faced two top level fighters in his career, Holyfield and Lewis, they both kicked his ass. A very tall fighter that can box and dont get intimidated is Tyson's stylistic nightmare, Vitali is all that and a bag of chips, and so was Lewis. (And Lewis would have crushed Tyson at any point of his career in case you wanna make a case for washed up Tyson) Prime Tyson struggled with Bumcrusher Smith ffs :rofl. Imagine what Vitali would do to him. Tyson was a throw-the-whole-kitchen-sink-from the beginning type of fighter, that's why he always started to fade after the fifth round. Vitali would weather the storm with his iron chin, superior reach and ability to push the small guy away at pleasure if needed (Tyson couldn't even outmuscle Holy, Vitali would practically swat him away) and VASTLY superior mental fortitude. Vitali stops him in the late rounds. Fanboys cry.
Tyson actually had skill. I would say he would win in a KO over someone as robotic and predictable as Vitali. Would be fun to watch Tyson chop down that tree though.
No way! Big V carries Mike all the way to the twelfth. What kind of fun is it to smash a midget in a couple of rounds? Just think of it, why would Vit do that? Not much satisfaction there. The nice part comes after the fight. Big V embraces shorty and gives Mike a big hug, all is good, no hard feelings, just business. Mike takes an honorables place among V's ladies, not the first place but still up there...
Agree :rofl:rofl:rofl So many fighters figured "robotic and predictable" Vit (zero cough, cough...) I actually lost count
Tyson would quit sitting on his ass crying just like he did vs Danny Williams, too scared to get up and keep fighting...
atsch Yeah because winning 12 championship matches and beating 12 world champions isnt fighting top level fighters. Tyson won every round against world champion. It was as much struggling as Vitali did against Kevin Johnson. Young Tyson didnt fade after fifth round
Tyson,too fast,too strong,punches accurately from all angels etc Tyson smashes his ribs and wins by TKO7
Actually, Tyson punched Noris after the bell, Noris injured his knee during the fall and was unable to continue Tyson should have been DQ'd but got away with a NC, like with many other dirty stuff he used to do Noris didn't last the full round against Vitali :deal
It was at the bell. Ref should have order them to break 5 seconds difference. Then again ancient Tyson lasted longer against Lennox than prime Vitali did
Guys like Pinklon Thomas, Berbick, Seldon, Bruno, Smith etc dont belong even in the same breath as Holyfield and Lewis, feasting on bums and b-level fighters wont change the fact Tyson couldn't beat the two best hw's of his era. Also the fact that he built his reputation on beating bums and when he finally took a crown he did it against Berbick, one of the worse champions in history. Anyone could have beaten Berbick. He kept on fighting B and C level guys, got owned in his prime by a nobody Buster Douglas, went to jail, fought more bums and B levels, tried to take advantage of Holy's bad moment and health problems, got schooled. you know the rest..Tyson's so called greatness is more propaganda than anything. Smith was ****, and Tyson couldn't stop him despite the fact Smith barely let his hands go, he even froze Tyson in the last round when he finally decided to fight. You know what was the only advantage Smith had over Tyson? HEIGHT. If garbage fighters like Smith and Tillis can make Tyson look ordinary, Vitali would clown him. Ok, let's say it was after the sixth for more accuracy. Except that Vitali was outlanding Lennox every round and winning the scorecards at the moment of the stoppage, Tyson was just a pathetic punching bag.
Vitali has only beaten 6 world champions and only three were former heavyweight champions. Oh and he lost against Lewis and Byrd in middle of his prime. Tyson dominated the fight. Nothing ordinary beating guy 12-0 in score cards. So what? He was stopped. Couple points in scorecards mean nothing if you are stopped in sixth round. When Tyson had opportunity to fight past prime ATG, he didnt only lead in scorecards before getting stopped, he actualy KOd old champion and continued his reign of dominance. He also didnt get his face ripped off.
Wow klit fans get worse and worse! I do like the klits j just hate there fans! Oh and i think mid to late round stoppage for tyson after he goes to the body alot wares him down and cuts up his paper face
