Prime Mike Tyson would Clean this division out

yes larry holmes and undefeated micheal spinks are cab drivers Damn goldenboy I had respect for you because oscar is my boy but when you brought up a 40 something fat has been champion larry holmes and then said Michael Spinks to top it off you lost me man. Spinks had no business moving to Heavyweight, the guy was a blown up LHW. Tyson had NEVER and I say NEVER beaten a Good, notice I didnt say Great, but a Good natural Heavyweight Boxer.

a quick, hard puncher in Corey Sanders was able to stun Vitali early, and Sanders was a little porky for that fight too. and that was a prime Vitali. also Id like to point out that Tyson is an underrated body puncher when he was focused. one of the best heavyweight body punchers of all time, imo. might be only behind Frazier and Marciano, although you could throw out some other acceptable names. anyways, going to the body when youre 5'11 and your opponent is 6'7 seems like it would work really well, and Vitali isnt a great clincher, so Tyson could probebly be able to break free and get the distance he needed on the inside. Tyson was a very unreliable fighter when it came to infight strategy and discipline, but if he showed up focused I feel fairly confident he would have won in the imaginary world of make believe boxing matchups. the comebacking Tyson who was mostly just a puncher would have probebly knocked out everyone in the division other than the Klitschko brothers, imo.

the tyson of 1985-1991 would have cleaned the current heavyweight division out...the knock on tyson is that he does lack heart and if you survive the onslaught of tyson early you can knock him out later.. but the tyson of 1985-'91 would have rolled through the current top 10 heavyweights The reason why Tyson was so good between 85-91 is because he fought nobody. The minute he fought a good boxer he got his ass kicked. Buster Douglas started things off, then Holyfield kicked his ass twice when Tyson was still a prime 30 and 31 years old, then Lewis finished him off. Everytime the guy fought someone who wasnt 45, (Larry Holmes) or a paper champion (Trevor Berbick) he got his ass handed to him.

wlad doesnt survive the tyson early assult..he gets his chin cracked..... as for vitali im not sure....everyone claims hes a unstoppable force just because hes 6'7 25oLBS. but did you see how he kept his hands down today? tyson would jump all over him vitali is not prime anymore gb360. he's what 34? prime for prime remember.

Im surprised he didnt look much more rusty. to dominate 2 good top 10 fighters after a 4 year layoff at 37 is remarkable and just goes to show what a monster he is. only injuries have beaten him twice

Tyson is the most overrated fighter of all time...he was a mental midget with no heart. Prime Vitali KO's Prime Tyson we dont know this or cant prove it...the level of competetion is the same for both fights

But the popularity of boxing amongst the kids isn't that popular right now yes? That kid will probably be doing MMA. no..that kid will probably quit boxing and try to make it in the nba or nfl

i bet theres a kid in a gym right now training his ass off to be the next mike tyson But the popularity of boxing amongst the kids isn't that popular right now yes? That kid will probably be doing MMA.

I know this forum was bad, but i had no idea it was so dumb. Sorry, Vitali beating a prime Tyson? Get real. Prime Tyson would just walk over Vitali. Can't believe boxers get rated for "Dominating" a ridiculously poor and embarrassing division. That is a description of prime Tyson.

do ppl forget that a prime Tyson got his ass KTFO by a bum named Buster Douglas and VK as never been floored? and vitali losted against a overweight..old..jamican pothead

I know this forum was bad, but i had no idea it was so dumb. I agree, though if you quit this forum, the forum's average intelligence will go up.

Tattoo face Tyson lost to Kevin ****ing McBride :lol1: Tyson fanboys would have you believe in his prime that Tyson knocks anybody out in 2 rounds :lol1: I believe both Klitschkos beat him, more certain about Vitali though. Tyson still benefits from his massive hype in these fantasy matchups. wlad doesnt survive the tyson early assult..he gets his chin cracked..... as for vitali im not sure....everyone claims hes a unstoppable force just because hes 6'7 25oLBS. but did you see how he kept his hands down today? tyson would jump all over him

heck even a mike "yes thats a tatto on my face" tyson would beat 95% of these guys Tattoo face Tyson lost to Kevin ****ing McBride :lol1: Tyson fanboys would have you believe in his prime that Tyson knocks anybody out in 2 rounds :lol1: I believe both Klitschkos beat him, more certain about Vitali though.

Or a prime Sonny Liston > Mike Tyson

Man the cornrows are pissed that a past his prime white dude schooled that faster, more skilled boxer's ass. Black folk have no shame..well that make sense

so who wins? my opinion? vitali wears down mike. a puffy eyed , tired tyson gets tko'd in the late rounds.

hey dumb ass, TYSON couldn't beat either one of the KLITCHKOS, but he does have a punchers chance against Wladmir. YOU unknowledgable idiots are excitied by Tyson's mysique and not so much his skill. A taller fighter with a jab would have his way with Tyson. he cant beat either klitschko brother but he has a punchers chance against wlad? and im the dumb ass?
