    i love ya hook and i know where you're leaning on this one :tong

    i'm gonna consider this one a bit. watching vitali's form last night makes me wonder how well his generalship works against all time greats. he can dictate the texture of a fight like few in history

    Arreola landed on Vitali, Tyson would get past the jab and land time and again. The difference in speed is time warpish here and Tyson lands his best time and again. Tyson's style would expose the low hands leaning back style of defense in the most devastating way

    TYson KO mid rounds

    klitchko wouldnt be able to get out of trouble, lacksfootwork and will be just a big target for tyson when he slips he jab. vitalis might hold up for a while though

    96 Tyson would be better than anyone Vitali fought but he still doesn't have the hops, movement, or stamina to get the job done. His overhand right would be crashing into Vitali's arm, and he wouldn't be able to time over the top with his left consistently. After the mid rounds, Tyson would be a sitting duck like he was against Holyfield, eating countless flush shots and sadly being stopped on his feet.

    He would brusie Vitali's body in the clinch but Tyson was never one to stick with that or build from it to a finish. Tyson of the late 80s, might be up for the task though, so much movement and speed in the early rounds, with those jumping shots possible catching Vitali as he leans in.

    a lot of delusions in this thread. Tyson would get his ass kicked.

    Tyson T/KO.

    It looks like a more civilised Dempsey-Willard (lasts a bit longer too).

    I dont think the Tysonistas understand that the question is about a 30 year old Tyson.

    I think a 40 year old Vitali would do to him pretty much what Holyfield did to him

    Any version of Vitali beats Tyson with ease. Tyson was terrible against tall fighters and even worse against great fighters....Tyson lost to every great fighter he fought.

    Bruno is arguably as good as 40yo Vitali and look what happened there, Golota is a little similar and what happened there with an older Tyson?

    The same can be said about Vitali ;)
    Tyson had great ability to cut the ring, and I doubt Vitali would be able to keep him on distance with his jab like most of his standard opponents (none of them comparable to Tyson).
