    i think PRIME! Tyson would have takin' most of these jokes of a heavyweight division out today....not even close!

    Like I said before Vitali and Wlad dont deserve to even be mentioned with prime tyson or the other great heavies.

    I love Tyson as much as the next man, but when did he change his name to Prime? He has had it for years but I can't find anything on Wiki.

    I think Lewis should get the name - it would suit him better.

    Think of it:

    Prime Lewis v Tyson.

    Sounds odd at first mind you.

    Yeah, he proved he would beat the **** out of any all time great during that period with scintilating points wins over Bonecrusher Smith and a very quick KO of a great light-heavyweight.

    Only the Klitschkos could be in the same league with tyson.

    I think these fights would very competitive. I think both Klitsckos have a good chance of beating tyson if they can get in the later rounds.

    Vitali has the best chance to beat Tyson

    Also, "85-91"?

    You are picking 1-0 Tyson to beat primed Liston, Ali, Lewis, Holyfield?

    You are picking a man who lost to the journeyman Buster Douglas to beat these guys?

    just please have a look at wlad, the way his been knocked out and disheartened by bums your telling me he has a chance against a prime tyson please. vitali is strong so may not get knocked out but he will get beaten the **** out of also. if they were so good or so exciting as you claim why is the heavyweight division so ****?

    Vitali is really awesome, prime for prime I don't know.
    He has the power, chin and size to cause major problems for anyone in History.
