    Teh Peaked Vitali who was stopped by Lennox, bUt looked v.good in round 1+2 were he rocked teh iron-chinned Lennox several times VS the Tyson of 2003 who looked about 80% of his best/peak when he KO'd Ettiene.

    my Opinion is Vitali would KO Tyson in 9 rounds - even though tyson in a little better shape then for Lennox, i say he gives Vitali Only 2 Or 3 hard rounds - then Vitali beats teh **** outta him like Lennox did in there 2002 super-fight.

    Tyson Need to be abuot 95% of his best/peak like he was in 1995-1997 to beat teh ATG superheavyweight called Vitali Klit.

    I'd have to pick Vitali. But it's academic, because prime for prime i pick Tyson.

    Tyson actually really good against Ettiene for the little time it lasted weighing only 225lbs fighting under Roach (I think). Tyson's style is also perfect to slip, counter, get off quick and hurt Vitali. Tyson's heart obviously wasnt in it then though.

    Tyson of the Golota fight though and before against Vitali, I'd pick Tyson to KO Vitali, people think Vitali can't be KO'd, he can

    BTW before people say 'Ettiene took a dive because he took his gum shield out', watch his ankle on the way down, he damn near snaps the thing. Fighting short the way Ettiene did was suicide against Tyson but he wasnt a bad fighter with his win over Brewster (or was that the fight BRewster had a damaged knee/ankle)?

    I wish Tyson got Wlad in 2003 as a Tyson fan

    The 2003 Tyson would n't have stood a chance with either Klitschko.

    He looked good against Etienne because Etienne came right at him. Vitali would have Tyson lunging and missing, but it still wouldnt suprise me if Tyson knocked him out. I would favor Vitali in a decision.

    I agreed that both Klitschkos would KO Tyson in 2003 And Wlad would KO Tyson quicker then Vitali cos of his extra power+speed.

    BUT - Wlad was TKO2'd by Correy Sanders in 2003 And TKO5'd by Lamon Brewster in 2004 - sO I admit Tyson has a small punchers'-chance in teh 1st 5 rounds before he gassed-out.

    I think this actually was suppose to happen in 2004 if I'm not mistaken. However, Mike blew out his knee against Williams and the rest is history.

    In 2003 I think Vitali would have knocked Mike out late in the fight...

    Prime, its all Tyson..

    Vitali would be too much for him at this point in time

    Forgot to say - teh fight is 10 rounds, But that is easy enough time for Vitali to KO teh average chin of Tyson.

    Please explain to me how tysons chin is average?? :think

    Not counting Tysons no-contests and the danny williams fight where his knee was completely ****ed it looks like-



    Buster Ko'd him in 10 rounds

    Holyfield TKO in 11 rounds

    Lennox Ko'd him in 8 rounds


    In each of these fights (which you obviously havent watched) Tyson took HUGE shots and hung around for majority of the fight.......This aint no quick kos....



    So once again Foreman, you might want to think before you post :good :hi:

    Tyson did look good against Ettiene. This idea that he was some done fighter in the 2000's is not true. I'd say his accuracy/sharpness wasn't that good but he was defense was really good in that fight. And that right hand he caught Ettiene with was pretty good.

    Tyson did not have enough left at this stage to beat Klitschko.

    I think that he looked good against Ettiene as much becaues of his opposition and the duration of the fight as anything.
