Both in their primes. Who wins it? I think if Vitali can survive and defend Tysons hooks in first 3 rounds, he can make it a fight. Tyson gets tired and Vitali takes the control. Then he stops him in rds 9-10. Vitali by TKO in rd 9! What you think?
http://www.boxingforum24.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12 Post these types of threads here man... I think Vitali would win too, late knockout or decision.
vitali has the style to beat mike. honestly after the first 3 or four rounds, I think vitali has his way with him until a late rounds stoppage
Against a prime or pre-prime Tyson, Vitali would go down in 3-4th round. His "style" is the worst possible approach to fighting that kind of Mike Tyson.
Yeah worst style.... Fights tall, master of distance, iron chin. Tyson was outboxed and KO'd by glass jawed Douglas, outjabbed and picked apart. Had trouble with bigger men nowhere near as tough or as skilled as Vitali.
You pick Vitali because you are a moron Klitschko fan and not a real boxing fan. Douglas had one of the best HW jabs of all time. His skill set amassed anything Vitali ever brought to the table. Doulglas knocked out Tyson . Vitali couldn't knock out Chisora. Chisora landed half of every power punch thrown at Vitali from rounds 1 to 12. Thats a slow ass Chisora who couldn't snap a twix. Vitali's total punch connect rate on Chisora was laughable. 605 thrown, 211 landed:rofl Tyson would knock Vitali out.
What happens after 3-4 rounds? Are you saying Tyson in his prime gassed after 3-4 rounds? Against who?
If Tyson goes crazy and trys to take Vitali out early. Just like Tommy Morrison did to Ray Mercer, gassed out after 3 rounds and then Mercer exploited it.
Douglas had one of the best HW jabs of all time? :rofl Yeah Vitali couldn't knock out Chisora with one arm, at nearly 41 years old, big whoop! Tyson was losing to the likes of Danny Williams and Kevin McBride in his late 30s! atsch Yeah Tyson would knock Vitali out, because he KO'd LHW Spinks, Old man Holmes and a bunch of crackheads and winos... Couldn't KO Mitch Green, James Tillis, or James Smith... Struggled with medicore big men who had drug and alcohol problems, but he knocks out iron chinned Vitali who is levels ahead of any of those guys
Peak Mike was good, the Holmes fight maybe the peak. That Mike has a chance of an upset but I make Vitali favourite. At worst he controls Mike and wins UD, but could easily get the stoppage.
Tyson wasn't as successful against bigger and taller heavyweights during his prime, lucky for him the Klitschkos, Lennox and Bowe weren't around then...
Yeah prime Iron mike was a great heavyweight, no doubt... Just not this mythical unstoppable force that his fanboys make him out to be.
The fact you find that funny proves ydksab. How did he only have one arm. I watched that fight many times and at no point during any round did Vitali look like he was injured. What arm of his went? Vitali was on bambi legs from a Lewis jab and dropped by a single punch from Sanders. He never faced a combination power puncher like Tyson in his life. They all lost large on the scoce cards and were tough ,durable punchers. Vitali was on the same level as Tucker expect Tucker had better footwork and had better defence. Old way past it Tucker did a million times better against prime Lewis than prime Vitali against shot Lewis.atsch Tyson leatherd Tucker in his prime for 12 rounds.
You are insane if you think Douglas had one of the best jabs of all time. Also, the fight you picked (Chisora) is a stupid choice: the fight had a 40-year old, injured VK and this was supposed to be prime vs prime.
