Vitali Klitschko vs. Mike Tyson prime for prime.

This. If light hitting Byrd can make Vitali quit Tyson kills him.

 

why did he need a step ladder to hit the other big guys he koed? or is it just the ones with the surname "klitschko"?

 

a set of bit part titlists like vitali when he was barely out of his teens.

 

he ate bit part titlists for breakfast in his post-teens.

 

It was an injury that made Vitali quit, not the force of Byrd's punches.

I can see why people would pick Tyson - just how good prime Tyson was is a mystery as he wasn't the same after prison - but I do think you are selling Vitali short.

 

I wouldnt pick any former champion over the current super-mega-hyper-heavyweights that we have nowadays. Too much size and weight advantage. That's what has killed HW in my opinion. They are too big to have a decent technique and at the same time they are too big to be beaten if you are not another 2.10m 9435093874 pounds freak.

HW makes me yawn. even the bests are bums nowadays. 47028934086 pounds bums, but bums at the end of the day.

 

Does a boxer have to be tall to bully an opponent? Marciano wasn't particular tall either and he bullied all of his opponents regardless of height.
BTW
Carnera was bullied all over the ring by shorter boxers and Dempsy bullied the taller Jess Willard.

 

Vitali would win this one from the start. Not intimidated and too crafty for Mike. Iron chin and enough power to hurt Tyson repeatedly until he would be ko'd late by Vitali. round 10 ko for Klitschko.

 

Tyson, without a doubt. He has fought many guys much bigger than himself, so size Is not a concern. He would have the ability to get Inside due to his head movement where he would be In position to land those vicious uppercuts that would have Klitschko sitting on the ropes like Frank Bruno, with the referee waving the fight off.

 

How many 6'8 guys did Tyson KO?

How many guys 6'5+ did Tyson look effective at?

 

You mean the same type of opposition that Vitali chewed up.

I agree with you Vitali and Tyson's best wins are against sub par opposition.

 

Vitali hits the canvas just like the rest did .. but maybe, just maybe .. in this one .. he gets on his first bicycle first like hearns did against hagler

 

If you cant see the irony of Tyson being labelled a bully when he was almost always the small guy, you'd better simply pass on this. Being the "bigger" guy is the basis of the word "bully".


If you dont think Carnera used to bully smaller fighters with his size, you probably are only drawing on a tiny source of his fights.

 

no, Tyson unified regardless, Vitali chipped and chopped on and off whenever it suited him. The difference couldnt be more palpable.

But heres you trying to pretend that an undisputed post teen champion of the world is the exact same thing as Vitali NEVER getting close to unifying in his entire career. Did you want to fail that bad when you answered me?

prime Vit's resume boasts failed retiree Sanders as his best win. Failed retirees would be easy fodder for tyson whilst he was still a novice teenager. GOOD LUCK ice skating uphill once again Odour.

stop looking in the mirror, writing replies to yourself is meaningless.

 

HOw many undisputed champs did Vitali ko.

yeh meathead. Dont pick one single feature, you sound like you are claiming "how many gingers did he ko?"
