    Tucker wasn't better than Vitali.

    Tyson was the much better fighter, but Vitali's size would be too much to overcome.

    I love how Klitschko threads are flypaper to Dildo.

    Vitali walks right thru Mike Tyson's punches and literally squashes him like the little irrelevant insect that he is. Vitali Klitschko is overkill. Even Mariusz Wach absolutely wipes the floor with Mike Tyson and shows him what it means to be a real giant modern super heavyweight by turning him into sandwich. Mike Tyson was literally a feather fist against heavy + tall super heavyweights and had a glass jaw, which couldn't even stand up to feather fists like Buster Douglas and Danny Williams, both with minus 50% KO rate.

    This. Size alone doesn't beat a prime Tyson. Vitali is very stiff, too predictable, doesn't have power, lacks a fluid jab, and is very slow compared to the big men Tyson fought.

    Byrd had no trouble getting inside on Vitali and going to work on Vitali's body, which resulted in Vitali quitting when he gassed out. A prime Tyson chops Vitali down early.

    Also, I would say Tony Tucker and Buster Douglas were way better than Vitali.

    Why not? What did Vitali do better than Tucker?

    Tuckers best wins - Buster Douglas , Oviler MaCall
    Vitali's best wind - Sam Peter , Chris Arroela.

    Tyson was a mental midget who had no courage when his intimidation tactics didnt work.

    He would be afraid of vitali and get himself disqualified to avoid taking a beating.

    He would swamp Tysons inside work or simply and nimbly move away and counter. Tko 10 for Vits

    Correct. Prime Vitali would take him deep and knock him out and do it more convincingly than Douglas. H2h Vitali is the worst possible match up for Tyson. Too big, too tough, hits way harder than Douglas, Ruddock, Tucker or even Holyfield.

    So is it prime Tyson? Or Tyson from the Ruddock fights?

    I agree with this 100%, and I have a hard time understanding how anyone would view the Ruddock versions of Tyson as peak form.

    It makes sense when you consider you're dealing with a Tyson hater and troll.

    Vitali is a real conumdrum for Mike. I see the size thing being a problem for Mike as he takes a lot of shots
    with his non-stop aggression.
    But, who knows, Vitali was a sucker for the uppercut
    Truly a great fight between the two greatest fighters--yes--of all times.
