prime vitali: is there anyone in history that would have an easy night vs him?

I agree that Ali would be the favorite against any HW in his prime. Although I dont think we should compare prime Vitali with the Terell that fought Ali. Ernie was still a good boxer but at 215 lbs and somewhat wore out he would never give Ali have the problems a prime Vitali would. However I do think that Holmes and Ali in their primes would beat Vitali at least 5 to 7 fights out of 10 if they are 15 rounders.

 

I agree. He would lose a few but probably win more than lose. And if he lost it would still be a tough night for his opponent. Good point :good

 

:good Agree. Ali is great but overrated in my thoughts.

 

I think Tyson would win with Vitali with relative ease. Vitali jab looked good when he was keeping at distance B-level opponents, but I doubt it would bother prime Tyson with his speed and head movement.

 

2010 Vitali by TKO

 

1.mike tyson would have an easy nite with........beat on him
2.george foreman in 1973..... Would really hurt vitali bad
3.lennox lewis in his prime woulod knock him out no prob
4.larry holmes would have a hayday with vitali
5.muhammad ali would have a heyday with vitali

 

You're probably right, but he's fought terrible opposition. He's lost few rounds against guys who Ali, Holmes, Louis etc., would shut out and stopped guys who Frazier, Tyson, Foreman etc., would knock out easier.

 

:huh

Who cares about 10 times out of 10? You are banking on the underprepared, pre-prime version of Lewis turning up against Vitali, rather than the Holyfield I version every fight.

You are banking on the '90 Douglas version of Tyson turning up, the one who didn't train particularly hard, and had already lost a bit of his head-movement and started already to look more for the big punch. Rather than the blistering '86-88 version

If we are talking about a one-off fight, prime-for-prime, than Vitali struggles to beat any greats at all.

 

anyone who is a puncher and has the bottle to take a shot from vit and give him some in return.....unlike just about everybody vit has been in the ring with, payday fighters.

 

msystique?
far from it. Ali was a great fighter and on a much highe class then vitali. but he also had flaws.
I don't really think hypothetically that many fighters wouks beat Ali at his 65-67 peak..
Certainly wouldn't be vitali, that's for sure
