Vitali got busted up by old Lennox "hardly trained not ready for a 6"6 opponent" Lewis. Any of these ATG HW's like Tyson or Lewis would of demolished any of the Klitschkos in their peak anyone who doesn't realise this needs to grasp reality.
Did you ever see Klitschko panic? As for Tyson's power, Klitschko took some vicious bombs from Lennox Lewis, including the uppercut that would have KOed most boxers, and kept on standing.
Lennox was old and basically didn't train for that fight and still bust up Vitali badly after 6 rounds, if that fight had continued Vitali would of been disfigured for life. So that doesn't prove ****.
Sure, just like he blasted out the likes of Mitch Green, 'Bonecrusher' Smith and Tony Tucker (all of them are 6'4" and up).
Lennox still had the same tremendous power in his hands. You really should stop talking out of your ass.. it stinks.
Tyson by early ko, Vitali never beat a good fighter in his whole career, and anytime he was forced to step up to the plate and fight real competition he lost. A prime highly skilled Tyson would take the limmited Vitali apart on the inside, and prove everyone he was just and overrated big man who was the of a terrible division.
Prime Vitali was the best fighter I have ever seen. Period. End of Story.:deal O.k you get the message.
I'll pick Tyson by mid rounds KO. Vitali is fairly tough in some fights (Lewis) but mentally weak in others (Byrd) Since this is supposed to be Vitali at his best, he makes a fight of it. But Vitali pulling back will be his downfall here. While great at leaning back and avoiding punches by centimeters using his reflexes, against a guy with Tysons overall firepower and reflexes himself, he'd inevitably be broken down and stopped around 7. It takes serious inside fighting skills and speed to beat him and Vitali didn't have those.
No, Tyson fought like crazy and took beatings when he had to. In fact he took a ferocious beating from Lewis before he went down. That whole thing about Tyson only being a bully stems from ONE incident, him biting Holyfield's ear and his last few fights where he fought hard for one round and had nothing else left after that. He fought to the end against Douglas and Lewis and in the legit loss to Holyfield. Also, you saying Tyson doesn't have one punch KO power is too ridiculous to comment on, but it's fitting to laugh at it for sure. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I think this would be a very dangerous matchup for Tyson, but still think he would break Vitali down somehow. In fact, IMO, prime Tyson would beat any of the other greats but Lennox and maybe Foreman. The man was a killer!!!
