    So a fat no skill Caveman named Peters comes within a hair of beating WK............a flash in the pan Golfer blitzes him no problem, a Pro Punchbag Brewster just walks him down..................Tyson is all wrong for WK, it will be over quick,fact.

    VK lost to the two best fighters he met, fact, TKO6 against a going out the door Lewis aint no win.................Chris Byrd would never ever last against Tyson no matter what and insert Prime Mike instead of VK in that TKO6 fight ,Lewis is going down hard and out, no question............the arm puncher VK might last the distance but never comes within a zipcode of winning.

    Most likely goes 1-1. They were too good to sweep. There are also two ways to go 1-1 but there is only one way to sweep.

    I think he’d split a series with Vitali. Close. He’d bust Wlad to pieces Wlady would need to go out and try and take Mike to sword before Mike figured him out, it’s the only way for someone so predictable IMO. Wlad has enough power to pretty much submit anyone if he applies himself and here he’d need to dig his heels in and lay it all on the line.

    I could be wrong but I believe that someone once wrote that Tyson retracted that statement and said that he felt the Klits would be too big for him. Don’t have a source though

    Tyson says everyone would beat him. If he stuck by the K bros statement, that would've been really out of character for him and he might've even felt inferior (genuinely).

    I'd favor him over both.

    LOOOL And are we to forget that Tyson got KTFO by lardass Buster Douglas, thumped by cruiser Holyfield and wrecked by Old Man Lennox? Picking on losses works both ways. Mediocre Tillis came within a hair of beating Tyson if you want to go that way :rolleyes:

    Beats both. Klitschko succumbs to his own mental deficiencies before he succumbs to the fists of Iron Mike.

    Vitali has a hard time dealing with Tyson's head and upper body movement. He doesn't score enough points to win on the cards.

    Both Kennedy brothers, I believe all three are deceased, I remember when they passed away. Just kidding, people say a lot of things but talk is cheap, it's like passing gas. Lol.

    combined they would be lucky to make it 8 rounds against 80's Cus/Rooney Tyson, they were the beginning of heavyweights becoming boring/slow standing in front of each other eating shots no dynamic footwork or head movement etc, 80's Tyson represents a pinnacle of technique and fighting we will never see again

    Vitali often kept his hands way too low and did a basic linear in and out movement when he would come in to throw shots he definitely gets caught by Tyson and more than likely knocked out, Wlad often fought at what would be a very dangerous range with Tyson he seemed to like to go toe to toe and Tyson would definitely get him to where he is still in Tyson's pocket but Wlad is starting to get scrunched up/put on the inside due to his longer reach where a right uppercut more than likely finishes him

    Vitali has a better chance of avoiding some of Tyson's shots and scoring points, but it would only be a matter of time until he gets knocked out

    A boxing hill I’ll gladly die on is that Vitali bounces Mike like a basketball worse than Foreman did Frazier.

    Who did VK ever, I mean ,ever, "bounce " around a fighter of Tyson's caliber...........he could not bounce cream puff Byrd and got his face ripped off by a old Lewis who never ever fought afterwards because he was washed up..............VK failed the passing of the torch miserably, TKO6 aint no win.................but one thing for sure, if old Lewis would have met the Berbick Tyson for the passing of the torch Lemmie would have gotten bounced for the 100 count, fact.

    When did Tyson ever bounce a fighter of Vitali's caliber?

    Tony Tucker had more skill , better punch selection and smoother movement than Vitali. Mike beat him almost 12 to zero

    Nobody Vitali beat is in the same universe as prime Mike.
