    Tyson tko 8. Vitali is too slow, and doesnt have the power
    to hurt Mike or keep Mike off of him. Vitali gets outjabbed
    in some instances, takes a beating to the body, and gets
    Cut badly with a left hook. Vitalis height wouldnt be an issue,
    hes only a couple inches taller then the guys mike fought.

    Tyson is great against people he could bully and intimidate. He'd do neither to Vitali who would either win by UD or late stoppage.

    Lot of people picking Tyson by stoppage/KO in the later rounds... Tyson never got anyone late.

    If he doesn't KO Vitali early he's not KOing him at all.

    Very close decision either way. Perhaps a draw. But if Tyson can't knock out a Tony Tucker then he's not dropping Vitali.

    Some good points on here... Prime Tyson was incredibly fast and was great at feinting and coming up and under his opponents. Homes said after that Tyson was really good at closing the distance and once inside, positioning his feet and body as to not let Holmes escape. He said he was more shocked by his speed than his power. Vitali( while big and durable would be ponderously slow against Tyson`s bursts of speed and power.And I agree that Vitali`s height could work against him. he`d have to reach down for Tyson, and I think he would have much trouble tagging Tyson`s elusive bobbing head ... Tyson by 8-9 rds stoppage...

    Providing Vitali does n't get cut,he lasts the distance.


    Tyson by clear decision. Too fast for 'Iron Fist'

    Vitali would have all kinds of trouble with the young Tyson. Mike would just knock him around the ring in the early rounds. Too much head movement and body work. If VK hears the bell for round 7, he's not outworking prime Tyson for the remaining 5 rounds over 12. Vitali would be on his butt and behind in scoring from the early rounds which I'd bet on a couple of 10-8s for Mike.

    Vitali's best chance would be to catch the 230+ pound version of Tyson who fought Lewis or the one who fought Francois Botha. I'd give him a chance to hurt Tyson here and maybe drop him.
