    If everything had gone to plan and Tyson had beaten Danny Williams to set up a fight with Vitali in 2004, would it be the best win in his career if Klitschko beat him? Even though guys like Arreola, Sanders and Peter were closer to their primes, I'm not sure they would be considered better wins.

    Would it be considered Vitali's best win, had everything gone to plan?

    It would be used against him, I believe.

    I honestly think it would be treated that way, even if wrongly.

    It would have been his best win it would also have been a point of ridicule because according to some Tysonatics anyone who beat Tyson after Buster Douglas beat a 'shot' Tyson.

    I dont think so. Tyson was over. Tyson would have been defenatly the best fighter Vitali faced and will face in hes boxing carrer. Even if Im a Klitschko fan i think Vatali or Wladimer stand a little chance of beating prime Tyson

    I'm not sure if it is wrong, though, honestly. Who on Vitali's resume is better than Tyson was in 2004? He may have been old but I think he would have knocked Sanders out at the time, Peter is abysmal, Arreola is worse. Gomez? Johnson?

    Shocking resume for a guy with 43 fights who first won a world title, albeit WBO, in 1999.

    Oh...it would have been wrong, Jack...come on. Tyson fought under one round from the time he was brutally beaten from pillar to post by Lennox to the time he fought Williams (just over two years) and he was what, thirty-eight? 38-year-old Tyson is not preserved like a late thirties Lewis or Holmes or Vitali by any stretch of the imagination.

    Nah, it's not, mate. I just don't rate Vitali that highly.

    I agree. I know that Tyson was severely faded but I just don't see anyone who is clearly better on Vitali's resume. Sure, Tyson was essentially done, heonly recieved big fights because he was 'Tyson' and we all know how badly faded he was...but who has Vitali beaten who is clearly better?
