    I'd pick the 87-88 Tyson to KO Lewis.

    But if anyone believes Lewis wins prime for prime, then I respect it. Lewis was a great fighter.

    But the Klit sisters would get thrashed by a prime Mike. Neither one is tough enough mentally to beat a guy like Tyson. Especially not Wlad!

    SO we have to dig deep in the crate to discredit the Klitschkos.... Superman would KO Vitali, a Lepoard II would KO Vitali, Jesus would KO Vitali...

    Doesn´t it get boring to **** on the Klitschkos?....

    Peak Tyson would have made Vitali **** himself! Guys like Vitali, Wladamir are too hesitant, too apprehensive for a guy who was as explosive as Tyson was!

    He would most definitely have taken care of business!

    LOL Tyson Fury is calling just about everyone out, but make no mistake, if a prime Tyson was around, that's one name Fury would not be mentioning!

    And as a matter of fact we didn´t get a snowballs chance to find out if Tyson would have beaten the Klitschkos or not. :)

    Vitali has at least a chance of taking Tyson into deeper waters, but his brother has about as good chance of beating Tyson as I do of beating Lebron James in one on one game of basketball. A prime Tyson would be Wlad's worst nightmare. Great chin, extremely powerful, extremely quick hands, great head movement, as well as foot movement. I could actually see Wlad pissing his pants at the staredown, which makes think it would look something like Sanders/Wlad, but it would of been a KO instead of a TKO.

    we don't know. and we'd prefer not to think about such scenery. you tell us.

    and yes, tyson would whoop everybody in the division today. peak Douglas would also thrash Wlad.

    I love Tyson but he got dominated by Douglas. His resume is ok, not great. Vitali is a tough fight.

    Prime Tyson (only 86- 88.) would probably beat Vitali though. Anything after that, I don't know.

    I hate fantasy match-ups though.

    If Tyson can't get either wlad or vitali out before round 5 or 6, BOTH brothers BRUTALLY KTFO TYSON. His stamina was Shite in the 2nd half of most his fights, not many lasted that long though, credit to his power, both vitali and Wlad are WAY to big and probably will start wearing tyson out physically. Anyway Tyson KOing Wlad in the early part of a fight is highly possible, no arguements. Vitali is a different beast. Vitali beats tyson, in his prime or not majority of the time.
