    If you line up young Tyson's career and young Vitali's career you see they're both plastered with a good dozen or two of no-hopers to pad up their records.

    Which of the two looked more impressive when mauling fat, unskilled nobodies out of the ring? Which man instilled more fear on his future opponents when destroying one bum after another?

    Tyson blows a random porn-mustache wearing truck driver out of the ring with a couple of precise shots to the head:

    Young Vitalius goes into a frenzy throwing a good 100 shots in 100 seconds in order to TKO a fat weekend bar-brawler in dire need of a paycheck:

    What's you point again? It took Tyson 600 seconds to KO dude with 10-18 record in his third fight.

    You can't deny Tyson has better accuracy and hand-speed than Vitali. Vitali makes up for it with a huge punch output and an awkward counter-punching style.

    Still I am amazed how similar their early career was. Beating one no-hoper nobody after another into submission.

    The Tyson fanboys who say 'Mike created an aura of fear around him in his early career'... didn't Vitali do the same? :deal

    They are both ATG chubby chasers. I feel privileged to have watched both of em beating cans but if I had to pick one, probably Vitali.

    I still remember watch young Tyson fight these guys and remember thinking there was a specific reason each bum was chosen for him. Be it their height, power,speed, workrate etc. Always got the feeling these cans were an important part of his development.

    Whereas with Vitali I just think he didn't like them very much.

    Funny to see those two look so slim and raw. Obviously I don't mean 'slim' in the everyday usage of the word, but rather compared to their latter career bulk.

    Vitali is a bum quit comparing him to Tyson. Vitalii is an awkward robotic fighter who happens to be 7 feet tall and have just enough boxing skill to dominate these horrible **** tomato cans of this era.

    I don't believe that Klit fans are becoming delusional to a point to say that Vitali was better at beating tomato-cans than Tyson...

    and tyson if you didnt notice...fought like 18 of them in 12 months...before his 19th birthday....and stepped up quick....and beat everyone with a belt starting with berbick at age 20....hes made from a different cloth....as fast as he exploded, he did when he went out as an ex champ at 24..... its funny how guys like Povetkin need 6 years and and interim version of a title and call themselves champ...and hes 31

    Your calling others delusional yet your clearly offended that anyone would critique Tyson's Can crushing ability.
