    41 year old one-armed Vitali gave a PRIME Chisora a boxing lesson.

    NO, the 38 year old Holmes who had been out of the ring for nearly 2 years before facing Tyson, wasn't as good as the K2 brothers. He wasn't as BIG either.

    So is Vitali allowed to be in his prime for this fight or the old one vs CHisora?

    No, a 36 year old out of shape Larry Holmes who took the fight After a two year lay off without a tuneup flight is not nearly as good as a Klitschko. Not even close.

    I'm not saying he would turn up fearless, I'm just pointing out that Mike's power didn't have the same effect on huge guys. In my opinion, I imagine Mike winning the first four rounds, with each round getting closer than the last. After losing a point for excessive holding, Wladimir takes control of the fight with his jab more and more as it continues, eventually dropping right hands on him regularly starting in about the sixth. 11th round knockout for Vladimir. That's the way I see it anyway

    I meant untouchable as In hard to hit circa 1986 to 1988.with all due respect to Douglas, the Tyson he fought was a fu caking joke.

    did you see the shots mike took!(in both fights), against the murderous punching ruddock? those fights proved,at least at that point,that tyson had a great chin.

    No with all due respect Douglas fought a prime Tyson and destroyed him.

    well let's look at your point,tyson at that time was drinking hard liquor and doing drugs DAILY! he rarely worked out and mentally looked at buster as a joke so he had zero motivation.buster was highly motivated and in his best shape and was dedicating the fight to his recently deceased mom.buster was no better or worse than the many fighters mike destroyed! was he better than carl williams or tyrell biggs, or trevor berbick,ribalta? no! of course not.

    let me say one last thing proving how great mike was(at least to me and my friends).in his prime in the 1980's,his fights on hbo were events me and my friends eagerly anticipated for months,even though he fought on friday or saturday nights,we never left the house! for men in their twenties to give up a night of carousing speaks volumes for mike's exciting fights. today i still follow boxing but could care less about the heavyweight champs bouts,too boring.mike was very gifted and like many naturally gifted people burned hot but brief,that is why his career was so short,plus the booze and drugs had to hurt his recuperation,durability and coordination.

    Liston and Foreman were way more intimidating than Mike.

    Zzzzzzz that old chestnut, soon as he gets a drubbing the excuses start flooding in. Douglas was pretty damn ill prior to giving Iron Mike the whipping of a lifetime.
