Prime Tyson vs a Prime Vitali

Vitali KO8 making Iron Mike look like a fool swinging likea maniac hitting nothing but air. Mike isn't man enought to shine Vitaly's shoes:deal

 

tough one to call but i think Vitali edges it. Mainly due to his solid chin and long reach

 

tyson of '86-'89 beats every heavyweight in history imo

 

That Tyson beat nobody of note... you need to take that into consideration... he knocked over a lot of tin cans in very impressive fashion which leads to him being rather overrated in my opinion. Everytime he fought a boxer with a chin and bit of power he came unstuck, even in his prime against Douglas

 

well in this matchup of vitali-tyson, yes vitali has a good chin.....but has vitali faced anybody with as freakish power of tyson? no.....and if there is one guy in history that could crack vitali's chin my bet would be on iron mike.......

 

How often would Tyson land?

Vitali's about 9 inches taller and his lean back style would make it incredibly hard for Tyson to land.

 

Vitali would win this.

The man has SHEER CONTEMPT for his opponents. Batting them with lazy jabs until he unleashes the right hand.

 

but people forget tyson is lightyears ahead of vitali in the speed department....its not if tyson get inside on vitali, but when....and young prime tyson was a combo puncher....after about 3 straight uppercuts brutal body work, good night klitschko

 

If Corrie Sanders had Vitali doing the chicken (and yes I mean Vitali) dance then Mike Tyson has him all over.

 

Mike wasn't as powerful as many like to think... Many of his knockouts were more of an accumulation of punches. Tyson was powerful don't get me wrong but i wouldn't say he hit harder than the likes of Lewis

 

tyson by **** round one

 

thats why i think in this matchup tyson's speed would get through vitali's guard.....and young tyson was combo puncher i could see mike doing some work down stairs, and then after several uppercuts vitali will fold.....if not vitali will be backing up all night, do to mikes speed, vitali will never get off...
