Official Mike Tyson vs Vitali Klitschko thread

I agree 100%. Very good post.

You see, your actually a very good contributor when you stay off the trolling religious stuff.

 

I disagree...Mike beat Mitch Green, Tony Tucker, Bonecrusher and dismantled Frank Bruno and Tyrell Biggs. These guys fought tall. Vitali has a horrible habit of dropping his hands, especially the right hand. Prime Mike (vs Mike Spinks) Ko's Vitali in 1 maybe 2.

 

Solid points.

I disagree with your outcome mainly because Vitali will not be Ko'd within 4 rds.

I think he would weather the storm and win it late.

Cheers!

 

Vitali by KO in 8 to 10 rounds..............

 

How many late round stoppages did Tyson have, let alone against huge tall injure-free fighter with iron chin :huh?

 

Great post and I can tell you've examined Mike's career better than the even so called experts who perputuate myths, like you said before, about mike.

 

I hate people who keep asking questions about all these heavies vs. Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson is one of the greatest fighters of all time. Top 20 regardless of what you think of him. Just because Vitali loss to an old Lewis and Chris Byrd and now beat an overrated Peter he doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Tyson. So anyone who thinks that Vitali would beat Tyson please shut the hell up because you are an idiot.

 

Once Vitali drops those hands it's lights out for him. Say what you want he has never taken bombs from Mike Tyson. Vitali would be backing up against the heavy pressure of Tyson and is too slow to hit the always moving Tyson. Tyson had very good head movement and would dodge Vitali's slow jab and cross to land heavy bombs to the body and head.

My prediction is Tyson by mid round KO/TKO.

 

Tyson would own Vitaly, seriously Vitaly couldn't beat a shot Lewis, hell the Lewis that got stopped by Rahman was better than the shot versoin Vitaly met. If Vitaly were in that Class he would have done what all great fighters do to ATGs that hang around to long.

The difference in speed and overall skill and stamina point to Tyson winning quite easily IMO.

 

VITLAYS iron chin is a myth based on taking one huge uppercut from Lewis. The truth is he's never faced a guy with the arsenal that Tyson had, he'd get hit hard and often in this one. Not hating on VITLAY here, I give prime Lewis only a 50-50 shot against prime Tyson too.

Amazing how some fighters get more respect as the years go by and some get less, Tyson seems to fall into the latter category but those of us that are old enough to actually remember him at his peak will defend the guy.

 

I have seen every Mike Tyson fight ever including most of his amature career. I got a DVD set of his entire pro career as a gift one year and as I watched it I became aware that watching him was watching perfection. People always remember what happens last so the later part of Tyson's career is what they use to compare him. I dare anyone to watch Mike's early career and compare it to a prime Vitali and if you still pick Vitali to beat him then seriously get help because we all worry about you.

 

:good

All true. Prime Tyson had insane handspeed and foot-speed and on his game it really didn't matter how big the other guy was, they had to fight Tysons fight, without exception. Those that came to hug and survive occasionally did so admittedly but they lost every round in the process. There is simply no way VITLAY beats that version of Tyson, it'd just be a beat-down due to the way VITLAY fights. WALDOS style is probably more effective against Tyson but we all know that WALDO doesn't have the chin that VITLAY has. Combine the Klits and maybe they'd have a chance but individually they'd get ****ed up, Tyson was terrifying in his prime.

 

I agree

 

Vitali was very impressive against Peter saturday night, that being said, a prime Tyson would give Vitali a hell of alot of trouble. Please watch Vitali closely, the guy keeps his hands down and chin out, it may work for him against Journeymen like Sanders and crude punchers like Peter, but a fighter like Tyson would close the distance quick and in a hurry, and rip a wide open Vitali apart. His handspeed is legendary, factored in with his footmovement, head movement, and combination punching, Vitali would find himself on his back by the 8th round or possible stoppage. Tyson just had too much skills to be beat by Vitali.

 

Nice avatar dude :good
