    Seeing some of the shots that Corrie Sanders took it is amazing that he was still standing when the ref called the fight!

    I'd Fancy Mike on a decision in this one. Think it would be very competitive though.

    tysons defence when in his prime would be the key in this fight i dont think vitali had the class to beat a prime tyson, imo very few fighters would of had enough to beat a prime tyson

    Vitali Klitschko is very strong and has great upper body movement. He uses that body movement to avoid being hit more so than he uses his size and reach. While he is very efective with his defense he can be hit.
    Mike Tyson might not hit as hard but he can still hit with a good amount of force. His upper body movement is even better than Vitali Klitschko's.
    Klitschko's best chance is an early knockout/stopage. Problem is that Tyson has an outstanding chin and the best way to beat him hi to take him into the late rounds and stop him than. Another chalenge in beating Tyson is that while he might get frustrated he will still fight and will still be dangoures. Klitschko on the other hand is always as cool as ice. The problem with him is that as a fight goes on he becomes less and less elusive. Once he starts to get hit he starts to become less and less efective.
    I think Klitschko will get out to an early lead, but Tyson will find his mark in the 5th or 6th round. Once Tyson finds Klitschko he won't lose him and 3 to 4 rounds latter he will stop him.
    Tyson by ko/stopage 8-10

    I think Vitali's power is overated ... he hits hard but does not have the power of his brother or Tyson ... I feel Tyson would be too fast and win a decision similiar to his victory over Tony Tucker ...

    This is probably the one fight where Vitali's height works as a disadvantage, he's too tall & too slow to be able to catch Tyson with that head movement, and can't go to the body. He also gives Tyson move leverage on that uppercut.

    Tyson inside 10 rounds.

    Tyson stops him mid late something like 8 or 9.

    I´m pretty sure that a prime Mike Tyson would be way to hard for Vitali. Vitali is to slow and can´t get away from Tyson wild attacks. I don´t think this would go over 3-4 rounds then Vitali would be knocked out.

    What evidence is there that indicates that vitali will be knocked out within 3-4 rounds. Vitali is a very durable fighter whilst a late stoppage is a possibilty to say he doesnt last longer that Frank Bruno is laughable to me.

    Sanders had a weak jaw too. I dont think Vitali was much of a one punch knockout artist. A good attrition wear you down type puncher though.
