    Wlad beats him but Tyson is a live grenade and could KO him. Vitali is 50/50, put a gun to my head and i favor Mike

    Mike KO's Wlad , Vitali hangs around a bit longer with his jab and the distance game.. buy Tyson KOs him too.

    Tyson stops Wlad with any half decent ref. Yes, Wlad has a great hook and a powerful right hand but peak Tyson has amazing head movement and a great chin. He can get inside and land a combination with the kind of speed and power that will overwhelm Wlad.

    Only the German refs would allow Wlad to clinch his way to win.

    Tyson-Vitali is a hard fight for both men. Tyson is faster and more powerful but it will be hard to close the distance vs the long armed Vitali. And Vitali will struggle with the speed. Tyson by a competitive frustrating UD.

    Tyson KOs Grabimir. Grabimir is gonna put the Mexicans out of business with the amount of bricks he's going to ****.

    Britali stays around for longer, but as always, he is gonna lose to all elite fighters he's ever fought.

    Mike beats Vitali by close decision, most likely loses to Wlad by late KO.

    He'd get in on Wlad and pole axe him pretty early. Wlad's only hope would be a hometown ref. Vitali would be like a harder closer Tony Tucker rendition. I think he'd clam up a bit and not open up enough to stay close on points. a stoppage not totally out of the question.

    Tyson losses to both. Both have a style that Tyson with his limitations would struggle with and eventually tire out and get knocked out. Might have a bigger chance against Wlad but don't think its likely he would ever get close enough to knock him out

    I do agree if there is a ref which didn't allow Wlad to hold as much it's possibly a factor in this matchup.

    He had great workrate and cardio for a heavyweight let alone for a big man. Has the chin to take some big punches from Tyson and he doesn't have to clinch unlike Wlad he can fight Tyson off him and can fight going backwards.

    Same way he beat every other front foot pressure fighter. Times them coming in and beats them until they're worn out and then knocks them out. Don't really see how Tyson would be able to offset that.

    Tucker had more box-skill than Vitali did. Lost every round. That's how the Vitali fight would look.

    Wlad utterly destroys Tyson. Tyson presents no more of a challenge than Leapai or Mormeck.
    Ya Sam Peter was in Wlads grill constantly causing him mayhem , dropping him 3 times , but that's only because Sam Peter was better than Mike Tyson.

    Good point. It is the reason why Spinks beat Ali , one of the best ever at handling the big men Davey Pearl, NO holding allowed and only injected himself in the fight to break up the tussling ... Now look at their sloppy rematch ,, clinching , holding , everything allowed for Ali as Joubert stood and allowed it
