Mike Tyson hanging with Vitali Klitschko - Look at the size difference

Most people Mike knocked out were taller than him, if not all.

 

Tyson never knocked out anyone as big as Vitali.atsch

 

Prime Tyson TKO Vitali, but loses to Wlad. The cliche styles make fights has never been more appropriate I think. On a side note, I think Ali beats Wlad but has trouble with Vitali, but Ali beats Mike. This is what makes heavyweight boxing, and boxing in general I guess, so much fun to watch and be a fan of.

 

tyson is 5-10ish but dont forget vitali is tall as **** and a legit 6-7 or 6-8. Remember the pics of vitali next to lamar odom who is supposed to be 6-10. I dont think tyson is 5-9 at all. Its vitali that is as tall as hes billed

 

id have vitali and wlad opposite with what you have in regards to tyson. wlad is the one who has issues with pressure, with his chin and with stamina. steward will try his best to get wlad to keep the distance and tie up and lean on mike but if he gets in and connects he could take wlad out of there

 

Tony Tucker. Lou Savarese.

 

Tyson is maybe 5-10 if he is stepping out for a night at the discotheque in a Cuban heel, otherwise he is 5-8 or so.

 

What? I meant taller than Mike?

 

people dont remember prime tyson because it was so long ago.

vitali is probably one of the most overrated hw champions.

 

Wlad would go into panic mode after the first shot that catches him flush. Tyson had no fewer than three such KO power punches: right uppercut usually following a hook to the body, counter left hook after slipping a jab and of course, the straight right which Tyson once remarked "Is my best punch, but I never seem to get anybody with it" -- Botha and Holmes would disagree. Indeed, Tyson's uppercut would be the first to appear on an ATG list of single punches by a particular fighter, followed by the supercharged left hook.

More than anything though, was his ability to slip jabs of taller guys, counter with combinations to the body and head and work primarily mid-range. The fact that he's still widely classified as an Inside Fighter is disturbing.

 

I just don't think Mike would get inside on Wlad, at least not this Wlad. But Vitali, anyone like Mike (anyone...lol) could get inside and bludgeon him. Chisora got inside and smacked Vitali to the body a bit, imagine what Tyson would have done? I think he would have lowered Vitalis hand, opened up a nasty cut ala Lewis, and had the fight stopped on cuts. Wlad I think might have been able to keep Mike on the outside more and tied him up better with his octopi arms.

 

David jaco
Mitch green
Jose ribilta
Tyrell biggs
Tony tucker
Lou savarese
Were all 6.5" or more

 

Tony Tucker was definitely 6' 5 and Jaco was 6'6.

 

Tony Tucker. Lou Savarese.

 

And all the other 6.3-6.4" fighters he fought. Not bad for a 5.10" guy
