    Tyson is too small for Vitali.

    Vitali has an iron jaw and would just be too big/strong for Mike, winning via TKO.

    Tyson is really small compared to Lewis, Vitali is even bigger than Lewis. Vitali's hand speed is highly underrated the guy has fast hands combined with power, Vitali would be a horrible matchup for Tyson.

    I'd love to hear a reasoned explanation as to why Vitali can either outbox or stop Mike Tyson.

    I'd hazard a guess that the phrase "because he's taller" would be in there somewhere. The fact that Tyson was always the shorter guy in his fights is usually ignored for some reason :huh

    Tyson would KO Vitali the **** out. Vitali is so overrated, as one of the posters above said. People havent gotten over the Klitscko hype.

    Who the hell has Vitali beaten?
    Tyson fought in an era of tomato cans, but they were better than the Arreolas and the Peters.

    Tyson would do the same thing to Vitali what he did to Berbick....and thats chicken dance.
    Yes Tyson lost to Holyfield. Vitali Klitscko is nothing like Holyfield.

    Buster Douglas, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis would all beat Vitali Klitschko and so would Mike Tyson

    Tyson beat old man Larry Holmes and small Micahel Spinks
    Vitali lost to old man Lennox Lewis and lost to small man Chris Byrd

    and some people say Tyson is the overrated one......

    Vitali lost twice, once to an old man and once to small lht, while Vitali was in his prime i may add.

    Tyson lost to Douglas, Tyson was also in his prime. If Vitali lost the fight to Lennox due to cuts, then Tyson lost the fight to Douglas due to not training properly.

    Vitali aint done ****, the 2 decent fighters he fought he lost to.

    Tyson fought a load of tomato cans, but those tomato cans were better than the garbage the Klits are fighting. Oh and i forgot to mention theres also FOUR (4) ATGS on Tysons resume

    Tyson beat ATG Larry Holmes and ATG Spinks, Lost to ATG Holyfield after spending 3 years in prison and lost to ATG Lennox Lewis FIFTEEN years past his best. Thats more than either Klit has ever achieved.

    Tyson lasted just as long as Vitali did against Lewis. Vitali was in his prime and Tyson had one foot in retirement.

    Tyson did in 2 years what 2 Klits havent been able to in about 7-8 years, he UNIFIED all the belts.

    Vitali simply doesnt compare or belong in the same league as Iron Mike Tyson. He hasnt achieved anything near Tysons level.

    Mike Tyson - small guy, knocking out larger, more skilled opponents in devastating fashion. People know him the world over. Even his losses cause massive publicity. He also had the disadvantage of being the smaller man in most of his fights.

    VK+WK - 2 big guys, beating up smaller fatties in the most boring fashion. Nobody cares about either of them. If they win/lose.....nobody really cares. They also have the advantage of being larger than most of their opponents.

    When the Klits hang up their gloves, then compare them to Tyson.

    Tyson is clearly an ATG and Vitali is clearly not.

    Iron Mike never did well with big fighters that knew how to use their height against him. Further, Tyson folded in every fight where the going got tough. Vitali is an extremely big and skilled fighter with an awesome chin. I think Vitali would weather the early Tyson storm and start pounding on Tyson. I think Tyson would probably DQ himself or get stopped around the 9th or 10th round.

    Tyson lived up to his hype in the 80s, Vitali is hyped for LOSING to a old Lewis
