Can anyone take 88-89 Mike Tyson?

Your point being....

 

Vitalis going to Ko Tyson in 7-9 rounds?

It took him 8 rounds to beat Danny ****ing Williams.

If anything Vitali is the one who will be swinging in the air like a clumsy oaf. Just like he did against Byrd before popping his shoulder.

Tyson comfortably UDs the ovrrated oaf.

And then after the fight Vitali pulls out one of his injury excuses.

 

The guys who beat him FFS??

The older Lennox.. Buster FFS.. Holyfield??


The former unbeaten champion of Great Britain great.

 

Why was Lennox Lewis never ring pound for pound champion like Mike Tyson??

Mike Tyson was similar to Rocky Marciano.. fought 45 bums and 5 over the hillers..


Never fought Patterson.. Never fought Liston..

 

Rocky Marciano could have retired 49-1 or 50-1 if he fought a few more times.

He retired 32 or something..

 

We know that Holyfield and Lennox had his number. And if transported back to Tyson's mythical invincible era would have done him.

I would also argue that Vitalia chins him.

He looked great fighting mediocre competition, but once he stepped up, he was found out.

 

Tyson struggled with a 12 round decision over a very tall and far less talented fighter than Vitali in his own mythical invincible era.
Yes Vitali was just too big and too hard.

 

John Ruiz.

 

Joe Calzaghe would Lacy™ prime Tyson :nod

 

No blueprint.

:good

 

Vitali, yes your right.

 

I agree, Lacy was being compared to Tyson when Calzaghe Lacyed him.. It wouldn't surprise me if Joe did it to Tyson himself.:yep:good


Edit: I would also like to add.. Tyson lost to Holyfield who lost to Toney who lost to Jones Jr who lost to SUPER JOE!!! There you have it.:deal

 

Another one of those idiots who hasn't even watched the fight.

Please elaborate how exactly Tyson struggled.

Oh and that 'tall and far less talented fighter' Tyson 'struggled' with actually fought and went the distance with Lennox Lewis over a decade before Lewis carved Vitalis face into a ******.

Vitali couldnt lay a glove on Byrd and like the big lumbering oaf, instead he popped his shoulder. Against Tyson hell be punching thin air while Tyson beats him to a comfortable UD.

Tyson too fast, too good.

 

worrying how many boxing fans actually believe this

 

He's a top 10 heavyweight. I wouldn't pick too many to beat him, at least not more often than he'd beat them. Thinking guys like Lewis, Holmes or Liston here. Holyfield imo had his number too.

I personally think that his resume is ridiculously underrated. It's lacking ATG victories but nobody was really there to challenge him when he was peak aside from maybe Holyfield. (Holy was his mandatory from late 88 onwards if I recall correctly).

But post-Berbick he cleaned up a stacked division of rock solid B-list fighters who would've been good contenders in any other era. Biggs, Tucker, Bruno, Ruddock, Spinks, Holmes, Williams, Thomas, Smith.

Also I would like to add that Michael Spinks is probably the most underrated fighter at heavyweight, ever. People like to bring up how he was a natural LHW but that's ****ing irrelevant because he was a solid 212 lbs when he stepped in the ring with Tyson and he had outboxed an undefeated Holmes. Dude was legit, and the 91 second destruction in my eyes remains as one of the most dominant performances ever .
