If Buster Douglas beat prime Tyson, why couldn't Vitali?

if Hasim Rahman could beat Corrie Sanders why couldn't Wlad Klitschko do it?

Cus and Rooney were gone. And his business manager had died, cant remember his name.

Well if Chris Byrd can beat Vitali Ike Ibeauchi would have destroyed Vitali!

 

Because Buster Douglas has a much better skillset than Vitali.

In fact Douglas did more in one night than Vitali has done his whole career

 

"Tokyo" Tyson was prime?

Wow.

 

ooohhh that second sentence is cold, but on a fight by fight basis, definitely true.

 

Not really. I see Vitali a much better fighter, having said that, so many factors were wrong for Tyson going into the fight, it was arguably his worst performance of his 1st decade as a professional.

 

it was what many believe to be the greatest upset in sports history

 

tyson was undertrained i agree, but you cant ignore the skills AND HEART Douglas showed how many people have got up from a tyson knockdown?

 

Douglas beat an ATG
Douglas became the undisputed heavyweight champion
Douglas got knocked down, showed heart and got back up to win the fight.
Douglas didnt quit despite facing the best fighter in the world at the time

Vitali please tick any of the above boxes if they apply.

 

:yep

 

A few, actually, only to be knocked down a 2nd or 3rd time for good. Douglas, in this case, was saved by the bell. Regardless, though, I am not dismissing the heart Douglas showed that night, I just don't quite agree when you say he's a better fighter than Vitali.

 

Im a Tyson fan and i give Douglas lots of praise, he boxed a beautiful fight.

And i believe he had a better skillset than Vitali. What seperates the 2 is, VK is/was much more dedicated to the sport than Douglas was.

Douglas' dedication lasted for one fight, one night, Vitalis has been there his whole career.
