Tyson beats the breaks off the slow robotic stiff arm punching Vitali the skill level gap between the two is night and day.
Tyson by a large UD. I don't see Tyson being able to stop Vitali because of his iron chin and reach. I envision a similar fight to the one with Bonecrusher, lot of clinching.
I think this is a bridge too far for Vitali. Lennox was on the slide when they fought and Vitali matches up nicely against Lewis specifically--the height and activity gave Lewis issues. I don't think the same would be true with Tyson. Mike was used to bobbing under the jab and popping up with big power shots. This would be a war, but Tyson would get inside and land the better shots, cut Vitali badly and hurt him several times en route to a UD win.
The size difference here is huge. Tyson never stopped the really big guys he fought - Tucker, Bone Crusher, and Vitali bigger than them and a better chin than someone like Lewis. I think Tyson makes Vitali miss enough and rips enough combinations to pull out a decision in a fight I would expect him to dominate early but lose the late rounds.
We would, after this fight, finally kill Klitschko’s insanely overblown reputation for good. Tyson can’t miss.
