    He would not have Gus d'Amato to keep him in check, so he would self destruct before he made a dent.

    Perhaps an old Vitali is there for the taking for a start.

    I'd like to see a healthy Solis vs Tyson. Could be interesting.


    Wladimir I see winning 4 out of 6 early rounds and then gets stopped with Tyson coming back from behind on the cards.


    Prime V Klit is from Lewis fight (not the old, injured one we have today) is the only one I see potentially beating Mike and even then it's 50-50.


    The backfoot fighting Vitali we saw vs Chisora is actually a much shittier version of him, just that no one has been able to exploit his decline. That keep-away-from-me jab he was using vs Chisora is just going to get easily slipped by a prime Tyson and then Tyson will unleash hell.


    Today's Vitali I don't see beating prime Tyson.

    it would be a question of Mike vs Vitali, Wlad can't fight under pressure, and that was Tyson's best weapon when he was younger

    also, Wlad wouldn't be able to take the left hooks that were Iron Mike's trademark

    Vitali would also have alot of trouble with Mike, but he'd win a comfortable points decision

    He would clean out these trash heaps like he did in the 80's.

    come on guys^^ tyson had always mental problems. he would read everywhere that wlad klit is unbeatable, to trong to big and to powerful. so he would be afraid going in the fight, like against lennox and would get stopped.

    A working Reverse Hot Tub Time Machine! Which zaps you from the '80s to currents times, rather than the other way around... it would be crazy awesome & breaking news everywhere! :admin

    So you're saying that at 5 ft 10", and 215 pounds Tyson, stands a chance against a 240 pound 6 foot 7 seven Klitschko? Or 6 ft 3 250 pound Arreola? or 250 pound 6 ft 2 Sam Peter? No way, the size difference is too big, size is everything in the HW division.

    He brutally assrapes today's HW division, pulls out and forces them to lick their own blood and feces off his BBC. /Thread.

    If a young Mike Tyson turned up today on the HW scene, all the top fighters would duck him.
