Of the last 40 years, does anyone besides LL have a chance to beat Vitaly?

Tyson would be the fastest and most powerful fighter Vitali has faced , he had great head movement, fercouis combinations, he out jabbed fighters with longer reaches than him (check his punch stat record) Tyson is to good of a fighter for Vitali ( who has he beat to prove that he's good enough to beat Tyson, your saying Tyson does'nt have a chance yet Chris Byrd who is a natural light heavy stopped Vitali :deal)

 

Can we go back 42 years ?

Fine.


The Ali of 1967, the Foreman of 1973, and the Lewis of 1999.

 

Speed, power, defense.

 

prime Holmes must be considered too

 

Yes.

The three I named, I would favour.

If i added those with a very good chance (close to 50-50), I would add Holmes and Tyson.

 

I favour Vitali head to head, but that post is ridiculous.

It's close to a 50-50 proposition.

And No boxer who ever boxed could say that Tyson doesn't have "any chance."

 

I remember a feather-fisted puncher named Chris Byrd....

 

Let's factor skill in then, Tyson was an incredibly talented boxer in his heighday. He style was specifically created for neutralising the advantages of taller boxers. I think Tyson was simply far too good at slipping punches for Vitali to mount an effective offense. I don't believe Vitali has the speed and also he is lacking the one punch you could really make an argument that Tyson is vulnerable to-the uppercut. Tyson would've beaten Lewis too if they'd met when at their best.

 

I'm so tired of this sentence blabla everybody has a chance against Wlad but heyho none can touch Vitaly and his indestructable chin... honestly I think that there isn't such a huge diffrence in their respective chins, sure Vitalys is probably better but I'm not so sure Vitaly would have done much better being caught with the punch that Sanders hit Wlad with...

 

I agree Tyson in his prime stands a good chance at beating anyone if you ask me...
