Prime Tyson vs Prime Vitali

Vitali by KO in the 10th round

 

Vitali is difference level than mitch Green or Smith and also his much bigger and owns more difficult style to to get hit. His leaning backwards.

 

Judging by prime Tyson's performances vs big guys like Tucker and Smith I could see Vitali taking this to points for sure and maybe taking a close decision.

 

prime tyson is too mucho for him

 

Tyson won 21 out of the 24 rounds against Smith and Tucker and was hit with only 2 meaningful punches in both fights combined

Tyson grinds him down and takes him out late. Vitali is vulnerable late and doesn't have great stamina, Sanders was beating him until he gassed and Vitali himself was exhausted at the end and Lewis wobbled Vitali and starting to get the better of him starting in the 6th because Vitali tired.

 

Difference between Tyson and sanders is size. Tyson is small and sanders is quite tall dude with very good speed and hard punch. Tyson never reach Vitalys chin

 

Vitali isfar to robotic and stand up to take a prime Tyson.

Tyson's head movement alone would get under 99% of Vitali's jabs and allow him access inside to Vitali's ribs - Exploding with combinations the likes of which Vitali has never experienced in his career.

Prime Tyson would take a handy decision over Vitali if not stop him.

I have no doubt in my mind, Vitali's style is too stand up, straight up and down for the angled nuance of prime Tyson.

Any version of post Jail Tyson sucumbs though.

 

Vitali is 6 feet seven not seven feet 6. If Vitali did his 19th century lean back routine Tyson would punch his liver into the crowd.

 

Shoulder dislocations are unbearable..Vitali being a doctor knew the longer it was out of socket the worse it is in the long run..I dislocated mine.Its terrible..

 

Vitaly fight tall and hit and move back when Tyson attack..

 

A fight I would definitely love to see!

I'm torn thinking about this one.

The Key factor in many Tyson fights was fear -- his opponents were afraid of him BEFORE the fight even started. I don't believe that Tyson could "Scare" a Prime Vitali -- after all, Vitali is a big, mean, intimidating guy.

Speed and movement goes to Tyson, as does ferocity. Vitali has a huge size, weight and reach advantage. Both guys have a great chin and can really hit.

I see this is an initially fast paced fight, with both guys being wobbled. Tyson would get the better of it initially, but Vitalli would lean on him and wear him down enough to slow the pace. If his jab can find Tyson, Vitali will become more comfortable. If Tyson can keep up the pace beyond 6 rounds, he will frustrate and tire Vitali.

I have to believe that Vitali would probably not be KO'ed, even by a prime Tyson. However, I do not know if a prime Tyson could be stopped by Vitali.

Therefore, this one is going to the cards.........
I think they could Battle to a Split Decision / Draw!

 

Tyson couldnt do that Mitch "grack head Green" so how he can do it Vitali?

 

It wasn't a dislocated shoulder it was a torn rotator cuff which required surgery & physical therapy to repair. Similar to David Cone, the pitcher for the Yankees.

 

Heavyweight champions do not quit like a ***** like Vitali when they're ahead 10-0 in rounds with 2 rounds left against a featherfisted fighter.

Looks like heart doesn't run in the Klitschko family.

 

Prime Tyson's footwork and hand speed far greater than Vitali's ability to adjust to it. He'd use angles and get his way in underneath the backpedalling jab.

Moving backwards against Tyson prime = poor strategy in my book.
