spoke to jose ribalta yesterday....asked him who wins tyson or vitali...

kind of a nobrainer. Vitali would get his ass kicked against a prime Tyson , not even a competitive fight to be honest.

 

well that's solved

 

Was there any doubt?

 

Of course not.. but some of the Klitschko fans would beg to differ.

 

Like others he has an opinion, it does mean hes right, tyson himself has said they would have been good fights, so there ya go. And if you want to get really silly then all i say is...................prove it, because guess what ?, no one can.

To be fair i see a prime tyson beating wlad by KO around 4 -5, the newer defensive wlad a bit later, but a prime viali with his iron chin would have been an epic fight

 

What do you think he's gonna say? He went ten with Tyson in his prime and only two with Vitali. Fighter's say whatever makes them look the best.

 

^ R u actually comparing the Ribalta who fought Tyson with the one who fought Vitali?

 

Well sod you all I'm defending Vitali here and since he's never mentally folded or been KO'd i think it's safe to assume he prevails.

 

Tyson 'prime' threads are pretty funny.

 

That's what I'm saying, he had an excuse that he was past it for Vitali. Just like he said Smith hit hearder than anybody he fought, as I remember Smith was one of the few that beat Ribalta and didn't knock him out...He just said what puts him in the best light...

 

Vitali gives any version of Tyson a tough fight and out points him in 12. He is the absolute worst match-up for Tyson, technical, long, strong, and a granite chin.

 

I love these threads "Tyson early" or "Tyson easily"... You do know it's Vitali he's talking about, not Wlad right?

 

People seem to confuse the two. If the Lewis uppercut which is easily the hardest punch I have ever seen land couldn't knock out Vatili then Tyson cannot. It would come down to a decision and Vitali would easily out point Tyson.
