Tyson was a ridiculously overrated one dimensional mentally weak punk who always folded like a cheap tent when things didn't go his way. He got KTFO 5 times and quit twice. He never avenged any of his embarrassing losses. Any version of Tyson gets dominated and KTFO by either Klitschko.
Vitali and Tyson have 5 common opponents: Lennox Lewis, Danny Williams, Orlin Norris, Julius Francis, Jose Ribalta Vitali did better against every common opponent. Tyson KO'd Francis in 2. Vitali KO'd Francis in 2. Tyson-Norris was a no contest. Vitali destroyed Norris in the 1st round. Tyson KO'd Ribalta in 10. Vitali KO'd Ribalta in 2. Tyson lost every round and got KO'd by Lewis. Lewis was badly hurt several times, almost KO'd, outworked, outslugged, outmuscled, outboxed, outlanded 156-102, dominated and retired by Vitali. Williams destroyed Tyson in 4. Vitali annihilated Williams. It was one of the most brutal beatdowns of all time.

No doubt he was one of the ATG but in his 6 losses 5 were by TKO,he had a real problem when opponents took him the distance,when he was up against good oposition if Tyson could not finish them early he was in trouble.!!!!!
Only 2 fights where that applied was holyfield 1 and douglas, the other 3 was when he was shot. Also was taken the ditsance by smith, ruddock and tucker and the legendary mitch blood green and he convincingly won. I wouldnt say he was in trouble if you could survive his early attack like he was the g-man or something, tyson could very well cruise to ud's imo it just didnt happen often cause h knocked almost everyone out.
he had a real problem when he lost his trainers and didnt give a ****, just showing up for the paycheck dumbass. didnt even train.
Mike was over weight and didnt take training seriously and had problems outside the ring Mike said in 1990 he lost the love for boxing and didnt take rhe sport seriously anymore
