Let's settle this once and for all: Prime Vitali vs Prime Tyson

Mike beats him by KO or TKO IMO. Vitali doesn't have good enough defensive footwork or a jab to keep Mike off him. Mike would tear him up inside pounding that body like he did so well in his prime and eventually stop him. Vitali has a great chin but I think Tyson would wear him down and crack it.

 

Tyson by decision...........i think it would look like the tyson/tucker fight..................vitali has a good beard..........he wouldnt be intimidated by tyson....but at his peak tyson was real hard too hit.......and vitali cant fight on the inside worth ****(kinda like his brother)....tyson via 12 rd decision.

 

i'm a vk fan but it's hard to pick against tyson in this.

 

Tyson by KO.

 

If only Vitali had Douglas' jab, right cross, reach, punching technique, hand-speed, footwork etc.

 

Tyson decision or TKO.

Vitali is a great fighter but his unorthodox relaxed style wouldn't work well against Tyson. Tyson's speed of foot would win him the fight. He would get inside and cause all sorts of problems for Vitali. Don't get me wrong it would be a competitive fight, but Tyson puts combinations together too well for the unorthodox Vitali. His pushing jab and predictable lean back defense wouldn't be enough to keep Tyson on the outside, and when he got in there and Vitali didn't have a guard, he would reap havoc.

 

and he caught mike on one of his most horrible nights, during a time where he wasn't training at all, and was 2 years past his peak.

In any case, Vitali couldn't hold Tyson's jockstrap. Tyson would murder that bum and his brother in the same night.

 

Tyson by brutal, vicious early knockout. Vitaly isn't quick enough, isn't mobile enough on his feet and doesn't move his head enough to stand up to Tyson. The first time Tyson bobs and weaves his way past that jab, it's all over.

A 17 yr old Tyson knocks out any version of Vitaly.

 

Buster Douglas, for that one night, was a truly great fighter. Buster had the skills and the talent, but he didn't have the head to be a champion. That night was the perfect storm for him.

 

No. Idiot.

 

These threads always say "once and for all" but trust me, this will come up again.

 

Tyson by late TKO.

 

NIce excuses. little Mikey was exposed big time with that bum douglas junior:rofl

j/k, they all have excuses when they lose by shocking way to lesser men
