    Klits are very underrated these days, Vitali definitely has a big chance to win, even I would go and say Tyson maybe get Herby Hyded with the exact shot that Vitali likes to throw on his shorter opponents.
    Wlad has 50/50 chance depends how the fight will unfold, today’s Wlad, if he survives the first 5 rounds, he may even stop Tyson late in the fight.
    You can't imagine how hard it will be to fight very toll + technically good fighters like klits.
    Vitalis hands always down, but I don't remember any short fighters who could clip that chin, except Saunders shot which could put down any Heavy in the division today.
    So my prediction is
    Wlad wins by decision, if he survives the first 5 rounds
    Prime Vitali stops Tyson in 10-12 rounds

    Yup. Tyson fought many super heavies. I think the question is could he handle a heavy with skills. I go for Tyson because his power and skill and speed made him more than invincible in his day he was a damn natural disaster! Neither klit has ever been as devastating against a division that is considarably weaker than tysons.

    Tyson KO3 Wladimir

    Tyson UD Vitali

    I think Tyson in his prime knew how to deal with anyones jab with his head movement and speed.

    Also Tyson's bodywork is underrated, and Tyson under Rooney showed good boxing skills and combinations, the only thing that would have let him down was stamina and not preparing well enough

    Really tough call...I can see scenarios for Tyson winning and losing against both of them.

    In addressing Tyson-Wlad specifically, it's important to remember that Wlad's jab, his footwork which allows him to keep a fight at range, and his love of the clinch on the inside would equal a tough night's work for Tyson, much tougher than Wlad's getting credit for here. Wlad's reluctance to brawl could easily frustrate Tyson if Mike can't close the distance and catch him early. Klitschko does tend to start slowly, though, so there's always the chance Mike could catch him early. If Iron Mike can't get him out early, however, the initial onslaught would be at the expense of showing his entire hand too early and leaving Wlad the rest of the fight to adjust to it.

    Very interesting potential matchup the more I think of it. People thinking it'd be a blowout are banking more on wishful thinking than anything else, though. I see it as a toss-up.

    Both Klitschkos beat him easily.
    Tyson looked great against guys that worked for the Parks Department, but he was one dimensional and undisciplined.

    Tyson KO5 Wlad
    Tyson W12 Vitali

    I think Wlad would give Mike trouble for a few rounds with his jab and right hand but I think Tyson would get to him around the 5th and score the ko.

    I think Vitali is very much in the fight and takes Tyson the full 12 but I see Mike as the winner, this is a tough one though I really think Vitail would have a shot against mike.

    Being a Big Tyson fan I like to think that he would get inside of their jab and start landing on them. But part of me sees him getting under Wladimir's jab but Wladimir clinching him and leaning his weight on him putting strain on his legs and knocking him out late in the fight. But with Vitali I think that Tyson would win easier for the simple fact that Vitali thinks he can trade with anyone where Wladimir will try to play it safe and win in a way that takes away all of his opponents offense.

    tyson gets herbie hide'ed?i've heard it all now.1.herbie hide had one of the worst chins in heavyweight history and tyson one of the best.2. vitali's stoppage's came late in the fight except hide and kirk johnson.3.now lets take a look at some other fights.danny williams stopped in 8.had one of the worst chins ever.sanders was basicly a golf player when vitali fought him.he was at the end of his career and looking for a payday.he was stopped in 9,plus his chin was suspect and he was getting hit clean the whole fight without going down.lennox lewis although not having a glass jaw did'nt have a rock hard one was getting hit clean repeatedly in there fight without going down.the point i'm making is, if fighters with the worst chins you can imagine can last late into the fight before getting stopped, then tyson sure as hell ain't getting stopped like herbie hide what so ever.not by one punch,not by every punch that vitali could muster.if vitali was to beat tyson (debatable) then it would come on points.vitali is'nt feather-fisted, but he ain't no big puncher.

    Correct.....the Klits are used to beating up on guys at range, they wouldn't have that luxury against prime Tyson. He'd get to WALDO early, and often and the fight wouldn't last long, 1 or 2 rounds maybe. VITLAY would last longer but he'd fall eventually and even if he didn't he'd lose a lop-sided decision.

    Tyson was very fast n his prime and confused fighters with good head movement.Both brothers are fairly slow and Vittali has very little in the way of defence.I like both the brothers but against a prime Tyson around the time of the Spinks fight both brothers would in my opinion lose to Mike.

    wlad ko tyson round 8 :rofl please stop my sides are hurting.what next,wlad would get ali and foreman in there primes in a headlock,drag them to the ring where he would then slap them around for a bit before knocking the pair out in the second round.wlad would'nt be able to knock tyson out in 8 because tyson would be back in his dressing room having already knocked wlad out in the 2nd or 3rd round.:yep

    I think your ******ed brain has sadly got me mistaken with someone else, i don't even like really like Khan tbh, i think Alexander waxes his china inside 5, Alexander is the best at 140 by a long way.

    I do however think he beats Maidana and Bradley.
