RSN- Nice photos, dude. I have never seen those.

 

Never saw this one. Can you blow up the photo a bit?

 

Tyson's shoulder looks to be a full foot shorter than Vitali's chin. Mike does not have long arms, and he can forget about the jab in this fight. To land his hook, he would have to be in a near clinch range. Vitlai doesn't let guys set their feet for power hooks often.

 

They come none tougher

If you honestly think Tyson can't land his jab on Vitali you are just a crazy fanboy. Vitali is only 2" taller than Tucker, & Tyson was landing his shotgun pressure jab on Tucker in doubles & triples. Anyway, a Peak Tyson would easily slip the pawing jab of Vitali & counter with flush bombs to start blistering combinations up his head & body, of which there is plenty target to hit. Lewis made Vitali gassed after 4 rounds using body punches, & Tyson would be throwing & landing more of his debilitating body shots than Lennox did.
