How Long would Joe Louis or Vitali last against a prime Tyson?

Louis would not have a chin sturdy enough for Tyson .Fast fight within 3 rnds.

Tyson has never remotely lost to anyone near 200 pounds.

vitali would last long in all likelihood maybe even win if he was on point? Two top 5 guys at their best,which would prove difficult for anyone to defeat.

 

Louis would have to connect early and hard. I suspect that their fight would be a blowout either way.

Vitali would use his size to frustrate Tyson; I don't think it would be an easy fight for Mike. Tyson would do much better vs Wlad imho.

 

Bruno lasted 5 rounds against Tyson in his supposed prime. It was on the rematch that Tyson beats him even easier in 3 rounds.

I think Vitali beats Tyson quite comfortably, maybe Tyson takes a couple of early rounds, but Vitali had a granite chin, and I think you would see him give Tyson a similar beat down that Lennox Lewis gave him, prime or no prime.

Tyson against Wlad though, oh it is lights out for Wlad, deary me, rabbit in the headlights time for the Wladbot after the first punch. He is going down, down town!

 

Tyson coming out like he does is going to be dangerous for Louis, who could be caught early. It would take a lot for Joe to get through those dangerous first rounds. If he manages to hold on and recover enough to last past the fifth, then Joe could start connecting with his own hard punches then it's winnable. He must keep on hammering away at Tyson yet be wary, Tyson could still catch you late on. If Joe manages this then he stops him in the last couple of rounds.
Vitali could upset the odds. Holding on and smothering Tyson first half of the fight then get him with uppercuts and jabs. Tyson s early surge could see him blow him self out. If so, I see a shock as Tyson is pulled out by his corner around the ninth. But there is the chance that Tyson manages to cut vitali up early, so the ref calls a halt in the fifth, with klitsch bleeding profusely.

 

Louis was vastly superior technically and the proven ATG. Joe has a rocky round one but then settles in counterpunching as Tyson comes forward increasingly with caution. A counter left hook wobbles Tyson in round six and Louis ends the bout with a blistering two handed assault.

 

Blows Louis out early. Terrible matchup for the Brown Bomber. Vitali is a much tougher call. I see prime Tyson landing the sharper, harder punches early on but I could see Vitali withstanding the assault and frustrating Tyson with his size and awkwardness in the later rounds.

 

I think Louis had beating of some fighters just on his reputation before they even got to the squared circle, so that might be a factor by getting into the mind of Tyson, if Tyson had Cus in his corner then that 'weakness' would not be a issue.
Psychology aside merely on what happens within the ring then i see the buzzsaw wrecking ball that was Tyson having the beating of Louis, unless Louis was in mindset of his second fight with Schmeling, then i think Louis might have tested Tysons testicular fortitude, ok Louis was in only 200 pound range weight wise, but he was not your average 200 pound fighter that is for sure.

I just think with Vitalis size advantage his intellect and sound boxing skills, he would have the beating of Tyson, no way would Tyson intimidate Vitali, but feel Vitali would put Tysons psyche to the test, but who knows the outcome, yet another you pays your money and make your choice.

 

The crickets and the rust beetles scuttled amongst the nettles of the sage thicket. "Vamanos amigos" he whispered, and threw the busted leather flintscraw over the loose weave of the saddlecokc, and they rode on in the friscalating dusk light.

I see a prime, explosive Tyson bullying Louis badly en route to an early KO.
Vitali is a closer fight. I lean Vitali, probably by late accumulation stoppage.

 

They would both be very different propositions to the men you listed.

 

Louis would KO Tyson quite early.

Vitali's huge compared to Tyson and possibly a lot better than his resume suggests, he might even have a great style to beat Tyson .... but I'd pick Tyson to grind out an ugly decision win.

 

Probably the one outcome that absolutely would not happen, ever.

 

None of the outcomes will happen ever.
Louis is long dead and Tyson's about 30 years past his prime.

 

Of course, but I used the subjunctive "would," not the indicative "will."

 

You think that Tyson would bite Louis's ear off first?
