    As much as you rag on Tyson's opponents, they were better than anyon Vitali has beat, but then again you voted that Arreola was better than Bruno.....:rofl:rofl:rofl

    These idiots actually tried to claim Tyson wasn't in his prime when he lost to Buster Douglas & Evander Holyfield. That shows they've only seen some YouTube clips & really don't understand either fighter they're talking about. Vitali isn't intimidated by anyone, he fought as a kickboxer for many years before boxing.

    I'll go with Vitali on this one. His style would give Tyson fits and he's durable enough to hang in there and wear Tyson down - eventually stopping him.

    You should be, you know the Klits are not up there with Ali, Foreman and Louis.

    save your breath man and just leave, look at the poll results and just leave it at that. 68% of this site have sense while the minority is lost in a jungle of obscurity. you cant help them man, they're in denial.

    No I said nothing of the kind. I did vote that Arreola would beat Bruno based on styles and their ability to take or not take a punch. Bruno is the better boxer but Arreola would scare Bruno to tears with that ugly mug of his.

    and yet you think beating sam peter, chris arreola, a faded blown up crusier gomez, a former golfer (almost losing to him), and losing to a faded champ is the recipe for all time greatness?? that right there speaks for itself.

    McCall didn't scare Bruno, niether did Lewis, he fell apart against Tyson because he had no answer for his, speed, skill or talent. Arreola has been down and hurt against much lesser fighters.

    So Vitali almost lost to Corrie Sanders? You should watch the fights before you comment on them.................you'll seem better educated. In the fight I saw Sanders was hanging tough for exactly 1 round & then he proceeded to get the living **** beaten out of him.

    and what besides size does vitali have to offer?? a pawing jab thats only effective when fighting immoble plodders?? a straight right hand that can be easily avoided and is probably the only OTHER punch he throws, and no uppercut. oh wait, he's got a good chin. thats probably the only thing i can think of keeping him in a fight with tyson.

    No. I agreed with him because he didn't say something stupid like either fighter would KO the other within the first couple of rounds like half the idiots here have already said. You need to brush up on reading comprehension genius.

    I feel Tyson would not walk right through Vitali, and the fight itself can infact go the distance. Seeing that Vitali does have a great chin and a jab that can possibly keep Tyson at bay. Though if I had to put my money on an outcome, I would say a late round TKO for Tyson. I don't see it being a usual one-sided Tyson beat down, but a good scrap that Tyson was winning up until the point of the stoppage.

    People must remember, the Tyson of 86-88 had everything going for him. Speed, power, combinations, footwork, head movement, chin, and heart. Vitali only has a few of those attributes. While only once fighting a fighter of Tyson's caliber in his prime, and he couldn't even finish the job against an out of shape and aging Lennox Lewis. I just feel a prime Tyson was in a different league than Vitali, most heavyweight greats weren't either.
