Prime Mike Tyson vs Prime Vitali

Stick to boxrec.

 

I would have to pick Vitali because of not only his reach, but his rock solid chin and toughness..................Vitali knew how to use his height in the ring really well, but his distance was perfect and timing, not to mention that he hit very hard..............

 

I knew you'd come back with another weak response like that. ydksab. Stick to hurling out insults like the other wounded fanboys. Losers who claim im drawn to Klitschko threads but never realize that they are even more drawn and obsess over EVERY Klitschko related post i make. It only exposes how my posts threaten their beliefs which then turns them into sad disgruntled serial stalkers.
That response above is the best you could come up with.

 

vitali certainly would stand up better than wlad, who would go down as soon as tyson worked out his jab n grab or wlads concentration dropped due to the fatigue of carrying his huge frame at high pace set by tyson. If wald tried to mix it, its over ASAP, could be as early as round 1.

Vitali is a different prospect, being steadier on his feet and a proven good chin. The real trouble is vitali never developed an effective defence like Wlad. His best defence appears to be moving out of range Tucker style, so that would work for a while. But late rounds, when he cant keep the pace, hes looking at a bad tko stoppage, though perhaps he doesnt get dropped.

 

this is about right, tucker was a better boxer.

 

But you are drawn to Klitschko threads and are trying down play it as you're not.

Vitality has arguably better wins than Tucker and he hasn't got the losses that Tucker experienced.

Also Douglas had been beaten 3 timed and been stopped twice prior to Tucker and Tucker could also only scrape a SD against Norris....how did Vitality do against Norris?

 

wtf? who do you mean?


Tucker was just better, hes more skillful to the eye and hes got the better wins than 6 round sam peter and retired sanders why dont you deal with that rather than trying to turn it into some tangential issue running away from the matter in hand.

 

Tucker had better fundamentals than Vitali who is really a converted kickboxing striker. His low hands and non-existent defense would give Tyson a free target to hit. His shovel punches open him up like a canyon and thats why an old and slow Lewis was able to hit him with ease.
A bum like Johnson who used a bit of basic head movement made Vitali miss 800 punches.

Tyson was one of the fastest and best defensive HWs of all time. Vitali wouldn't land a punch on him.

 

Orlin Norris? u really trying to claim a win over a shot fighter is some kind of evidence? I notice Dino didnt mention an ageing Young as some kind of evidence of Tuckers ability because he doesnt share your lack of class on ageing, retiring fighters.

why dont you use best win like peter , instead? Because you know what a lump he was, thats why.

 

undoubtably.

Its not a huge difference but he was silkier, perhaps the closest we got to Ali out of the Ali imitators.

Sad that the 80s ruined so many athletes with their lack of awareness on hard drugs.

 

Vitali Klitschko > Herbie Hide > Tony Tucker

Vitali Klitschko > Orlin Norris > Tony Tucker

As much of a scrub that Vitali Klitschko is, Tony Tucker simply isn't on Vitali Klitschko's level, never mind better when we compare the quality of their records.

Vitali Klitschko has never been dropped in his boxing career. Tony Tucker has. Ergo, Vitali Klitschko > Tony Tucker. What's even worse is Tony Tucker has been brutalized and was up and down like a fricking yo-yo by a natural cruiser weight in Herbie Hide. That's something that never has, or never could happen to Vitali Klitschko. That alone disqualifies an even worse scrub like Tony Tucker to even be compared to someone like Vitali Klitschko.

Plus, Tony Tucker lost to multiple guys that Vitali would never lose to. And has more losses overall. Because he was total trash and was inferior.

Mariusz Wach would arguably beat a trash like Tony Tucker, never mind Vitali Klitschko.

And in before all the excuses about age and Tony Tucker being washed up at an old age. Vitali Klitschko also fought on until his late 30's and early 40's. Yet, he never lost, even to prime contenders like Dereck Chisora and Manuel Charr. So if Tony Tucker was really as good, never mind better than Vitali, he wouldn't have lost to such poor opposition level that he lost to later on in his career. But anyone with sufficient objectivity and knowledge can establish that Tucker has never been, or never will be on Vitali's level. That's just a fact!

 

Was Lewis's thumb actually not his fist

 

thats why I said he doesnt KO vitali outright. Longer than 1-2 rounds though.

Read whats written, bozo, and digest it next time so you dont write crap in response.
