    I agree character is a huge part of boxing and the klits have it in spades.

    Tyson is possibly the fastest HW of all time combined with his smarts,footwork and power,only the very greats could tame him. Vitali lets fighters get close even jabs bringing it back low when the fighter is coming in,its a terrible mismatch. Wlad can't handle pressure combine that with crazy speed,power and reflexes.

    Additionally, Tyson was a lowlife with no character. And Lewis, a decent guy I suppose. Foreman, what's not love about him.

    SP Mauler, Tyson was fight fast but fought overmatched opposition. You are a dim-wit who belived the hype created by careful promotion. The Wlad of today would have been the matador. I have to resort to name calling with you b/c you insult those with different opinions than yours.

    Tyson had character,he use to speak to FBI or something rather.
    Lewis is a good guy just very cocky but what boxer isnt.
    Foreman yes

    Tyson avoided Bowe, Holyfeild, Moorer, Lewis, and even old Foreman in his "prime" and the immediate years that followed. Vitali would have positioned Tysom into punching range after each clinch and Teed of on him. Vitali was way too tough. Mike did not have the will or the skill to beat him.

    Raping women and mugging old ladies is character? You and I are apparently have a different defintion of the word. Beating ppl up in traffic altercations.

    I agree with you on some things but with Tyson, we are both in different hemispheres.

    I insult you because you're reponse is "Tyson wont do that to Klitschko"..... I've stated how he would, Overmatching opponents? You are a dim-wit.dropping his hand will be his own downfall. Wlad does not like pressure,Peters messed him up in the first few rounds then he got exhausted..Tyson is far superior to Peters.

    I grew up in Brooklyn not too far from where Tyson grew up so I know what a scumbag he was.

    Peter did well in the first fight but got decimated in the second. Tyson would have needed a pole vault and a running start to reach both Klit's chins.
