    :rofl

    No he doesn't, Lewis was far superior to Tyson in ever compartment, especially in punch power. There is a reason why Lewis is one of the top 5 HW's of all time and Tyson is outside the top 10.

    :lol: nice try but you failed to mention how vitali struggled with chris byrd and by no means was vitali dominating him. Tyson from the 80s had defense as good as byrds and he hit much harder. Even Tyson admitted after 1990 his best days were gone and had no desire to fight. Prime Tyson would not respect or bowdown to them like todays weaklings. Tyson by MD.

    Vitali would never ever even get a whiff of at least the Top 30

    and Mike Tyson DOES hit just as hard as Lennox Lewis, if not harder.

    Lewis was not superior to Tyson in every department

    Tyson was faster, he had a better defence, a better chin, much better hand combinations, he cut the ring off better than Lewis and i could go on...

    I like Vitali a lot... but there are few boxers, if anyone, that I pick over Prime Tyson.

    Id say very interesting for 5 rounds

    then at this point Vitali is either hurt and effectively out of the fight

    or Tyson is tired after 5 brutal rounds and lose down the stretch

    unless it has already ended early

    when has Tyson won a tough decision his points wins were all cause the opponent was scared and clinched to survive

    Vitali is the perfect 12 round fighter with a high out put good chin solid punching wide assorment of punching and uses all of his physical advantages


    Tyson would have to do it early or really establish quick dominance

    By that same logic prime Tyson never faced anyone at the level of prime Vitali.

    Tyson UD/SD but I'm not ruling out a Vitali win here, in fact I'd say 3/10 minimum Vitali wins.
    Vitali's height and reach would be enough to keep Tyson at range, his chin would most likely hold up judging by what Lewis dished out. Whenever Tyson connects close Klitschko has the ring intelligence to drape his frame over him.

    Wlads a different story.

    Tyson has never lost a fight that went to the scorecards and never lost a fight he was in control in.

    Vitali can go 12 and so can Tyson

    Yes his opponents were scared...the question is why? Because he was that damn good

    If Vitali was to beat Tyson he would have to outbox Tyson right from the start, slow him down and take him out in the later rounds.

    The best Vitali could do is win an EVT

    It could go either way but the general conception is tyson would win which is also how i see it.

    Tyson is the younger of the two, but I suppose I did forget Tyson only had a prime for about 7 months when he was knocking over bar doormen and firemen etc.

    The best that were the same age as Tyson in his era were of course Tyson, Lewis, Bowe and Holyfield. Tyson in 3 fights amongst these other HOF fighters manged a pathetic 3 fights, 3 defeats, 3 tko's, embarrassing really never mind that he also in his 'prime' was destroyed by old Buster.
