Mike Tyson in general is an interesting fighter because things kind of went downhill as soon as D'Amato died. If Mike Tyson was under D'Amato when he meet Vitali there is no doubt he would have Vitali out of there in 5 rounds. Let's not forget people you had a guy like Corrie Sanders that gave Vitali hell and IMO the only reason he lost is because he lacked fitness and got worned down in the later rounds. A prime mike would been all over Vitali ass and Mike was fast and explosive and there would be no way in hell Vitali is going to stop the onslaught !!!
I actually think Vitali would win a close, hard fought UD. I can see valid points for either guy winning, but what cracks me up is people who think Tyson stops Vitali early or even mid fight. Vitali has a very very good defense against shorter fighters, let alone a fighter that's not even 6ft.... then put behind that defense one of the best heavyweight chins in recent history, and Tyson is going to stop him early? lol... just cracks me up. But ay I guess anything is possible, I just don't understand how that can be anyones real pick of what happens.
