    Vitali has NOT beaten anyone worth half a **** and has lost when he has stepped in competition, Ike has beaten better fighters than him and was undefeated BUT I would never try to say he could take Tyson, Lewis or Holy because he is NOT proven but at least he is undefeated.

    You are so fanatical with your love to David HAye and hatred for Klits

    That's just pathetic. I respect Haye as a fighter although I dont like him as a men. I like Klits because their are great fighters but also due to their inteliigence, class, and drive to business


    Tyson was a beast in weak times for HW--- late 80s. He could KO Vitali that's possible. But Vitali is very hard to KO we must remember that, even for Mike

    Stop insulting Klits or just spend a night with Haye and don't say nothing

    Vitali is probably the most overrated HW ever.

    And yet Lewis still handed Vitali his arse with a walker in tow. Tyson KO3 Vitali.

    Tyson by KO. I don't see Vitaly making it past he 4th round. Who was the last fighter to fight Vitali aggresssively? Corrie Sanders almost has Vitali going it the 1st round, too bad he wasn't known for his conditioning.

    Tyson wouldn't intimidate Klitschko. If Vitali makes it through the first few rounds I think Tyson will decline very quickly and Vitali will start to wear him down. I think Tyson would hurt Vitali once or twice early, but VK would just manage to keep him at bay for the first 3 or 4 rounds and go on to win

    I'm biased, but so ****. Everyone is to an extent

    Tyson will decline very quickly like Vitali did in the Lewis fight? Tyson didnt decline quickly in his prime. Vitali hasnt beaten anyone even remotely close to the level of Mike Tyson. He would be taken out of his comfort zone so quickly and fall apart.

    Tyson by decision. It's been my prediction for quite some time now. With Vitali's huge height advantage and lean bakc style Tyson won't be able to land cleanly on Vitali's head very often so he'll have to dig to the body mostly... of which there is plenty on a 6'7-1/2" man. Conversly, Vitali won't be able to land much on the much shorter Tyson with his superior head movevement.

    Overall, I see a fairly entertaining, yet tactical fight where neither guy will be able to land consistent combinations to the head. So there will be a whole lot of of swinging and missing from both and therefore the fight will go to the scorecards. I predict Tyson's speed wwould help him to overcome most of the obstacles he faces with Vitali.

    Tyson by close but clear UD.

    Forget Tyson's level, Vitali hasn't even beaten the level of Tyson's opposition. I mean when you put hypothetical matchups between the two's opposition, you get fights like this:

    OK Tyson didn't fight Witherspoon, but the Spoon got TKO'ed in one by the guy Tyson won a lopsided decision over. Spoon vs. Sanders

    I'd pick Tyson but it's not a certainty. I don't know how some can say Tyson's going to win with the upper cut. I doubt he could even reach Vitali's chin with it never mind KO him. The only way that could happen would be if Vitali bent over.

    I think he's win by going to the body and perhaps landing combinations to the head, but I can't see upper cuts being an effective weapon, considering Vitali withstood Lewis' uppercuts, the same ones that KO'd Grant.

    If it went the distance there's a pretty good chance Vitali would win.

    Uppercut ? You complete utter garbage can group of wannabe self-imposterous "boxing wizards" come with a fighter as short as a parking meter UPPERCUTTING a guy roughly 5 feet taller than him ??? Yeah right, I can see it right there ...


    My prediction - Tyson on cuts. If Tyson comes with a concentrated effort (which I have no doubts about in his short prime before his shitty entourage set in), he is simply too fast for Vitali, even in that ones prime. Tyson still cannot put a dent into Vitalis chin, but his skin doesn't hold up all 12 rounds.

    If Vitalis skin does hold up, Tyson wins a narrow but not so disputable decision based on Vitali having problems to find him, in most of the rounds.

    BTW, "wrecking that chin" and those tuffnuts explicatives sound really cool. If no fighter much lesser than Vitali would have gone the distance with Tyson that is ... Tillis, Mitch Green, Bonecrusher, Tony Tucker. Ring any bells ? But yeah, the guy who never was down in his pro career surely gets KTFO in short rounds, because, he is from the Ukraine! No ****.
