The larger Tyson's opponents got the more he generally struggled with them. Smith, Tucker, Ruddock and Green all took him the distance while Douglas defeated him.. Vitali Klitschko would have been the largest and possibly strongest of his opponents. He was also more skilled and had a better set of whiskers then most of the above names on top of having plenty of power. Tyson would have a hard time landing flush and often enough, while at the same time eating plenty of leather. I can't see Mike Winning this one unless some fluke incident occurs like an injury or a bad cut. But the statistic likleyhood of it happening isn't in his favor.
How is shutting guys out who were twice his size over the distance a negative? Krusher wasn't able to stop a 50 year old man. Wlad was taken the distance by guys shorter and weaker than him many times but that never goes against him. Smith , Tucker , Ruddock, Williams , Biggs , Green were all battered by Tyson and were light years away from beating him. How do those lop sided victories give Vitali the edge? Who did Vitali beat that proves he could take out a prime Tyson?
He won both of those fights convincingly. But my point earlier which Dino responded to was that the bigger the opponent got the more trouble he had with them. His larger opponents took him the distance and on occasion even beat him.. I think Vitali Klitscko poses a greater threat to Tyson than Smith or Tucker but I won't bother to explain that Dino who simply comes back with " who did Vitali ever beat that would mean he could beat Tyson?" The fact is we could spin it the other way and say the same thing.
The slightly sad thing about this fight is that rather than appreciated the efforts of both boxers, fans generally tend to jump on the band wagon of one, and degrade the other. It's kind of funny because most times when both fighters fight like warriors the respect and appreciation is directed at both figters. (ie Gatti - Ward)
Well, I admit that I was cheering for Vitali. But even so, you have to admire Lewis who, against the odds, dug deep to fight back and win. That's what being a great champion is about, and you can't, like him or not, deny that Lewis is a great champion.
struggled with? and yet he beat them all, and had no trouble knocking out fast some huge guys too. you appear to be fictionalising a loss from all the data that tells you its a Tyson win. no rewriting history in kliturd land please.
based on prime vitali getting his head torn off by worst lewis, I'd guess you are typing your message from planet kliturd. Vitali is not elite. drive safely, and stop at the red light, don't reverse the truth and drive thru them
who didn't he, you mean. whoa on planet kliturd do you reverse the meaning of everything K bro related?
So, as usual when Herol doesn't have an answer to a simple question he tries his damnedest to digress. So who did Tyson ever beat to make you think he beats a 6' 7" 240+ iron chinned Vitali. Tyson freaks like you should be able to rattle them off quickly if they exist. We know he lost to a 6' 4" 265 Danny Williams a 6' 6" 270 McBride a 6' 5" 250 Lewis and a 6' 4" 230 Douglas So again who the fukk did he EVER beat to make you think he beats Vitali? If, as most Tyson apologists do you are going to spew out the usual list of dross like Berbick Thomas Tucker Tubbs Smith Biggs Bruno Rudduck would you care to elaborate on how you might think they compare in any way shape or form to Vitali?
you could start by quoting me so I know you are needing a reply. remember you've been on ignore for so long too, I have to click out of curiosity to reply to you. and finally yep, Tyson beat lots of huge guys. they were all bigger than him. it was the pattern. they included titlists like vits and better, who if they'd jad the benfit of tag teaming would have owned a title as long as vits did.
the truth is not a digression. but I understand how a kliturd thinks it is, when it works against the k bros.
