Vitali Klitschko; "I Still Want Mike Tyson"

[psychopath]

There are so many active fighters to chose from why ask for Tyson? Vitali better be careful of what he wish for . . . if Mike can go over his injury completely he is still very much capable of destroying him and his career.

I honestly dont see what he has to gain by fighting Tyson, even if he beat him. If he won, everyone would say "well, it was a washed up, tired Tyson that has been ko'ed by Williams, so it means nothing" and if he lost it would be " a washed up, tired Tyson , who has been ko'ed by Williams for pity's sake actually took out the champ, maybe he has a chin like his bro". I'm saying this out of respect for Vitali (so none of you Klitschko fan's try and twist this one around) it seems a 'no win' situation for Vitali either way. Other than making alot of money, what would be the point? I can see no bragging rights over a victory over Tyson whatsoever.

its more of a personal thing. its like Lebron James wanting a piece of Michael Jordan the year after Jordan retired for the last time. Nothing to gain, except personal satisfaction.

....Nothing to twist around!! What you said makes perfect sense to me. Vitali needs to get over his obsession with Tyson and take on the real contenders and other belt holders.

I agree. Vitali should consider himself to be better than the ranks of Tyson.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm sure he does consider himself better than Tyson, but like i said its about personal satisfaction, not about adding to his accomplishments or legacy.

Okay, I'll buy that. Now, tell me what's personally satisfying about beating a washed up Tyson? I really want to know, and you are a fan of Vitali's and can maybe give me some perspective on this.

its not about beating a washed up tyson, its about beating him, no matter what he is perceived as now. compare it to the Lebron James wanting a piece of Michael Jordan, Jordan was 40, James was either 19 or 20. It's about wanting a piece of your hero when you get the chance, whenever that chance may come.James came into the NBA the season after Jordan hung em up for good. I bet that will bother him for the rest of his life, maybe not a lot, but I understand where they are both coming from. If james was to get Jordan one on one and win, he would gain nothing because a prime Jordan would destroy James without hesitation, same goes for Tyson, although Jordan was in his prime forever it seemed like and Tyson was only in his prime for a few years. Im not too big a fan of Vitali, I like to watch his glass jawed, no heart brother fight , but i understand why he wants tyson, its not about accomplishment, its about the satisfaction of taking on your hero.

Oh, okay, thanks. I thought you were a Klitschko fan, so it's more Wlad than Vitali? There's so many of them (fans) it's kinda hard to keep up with (except for the one's that make that 'lasting' impression; you never did that , you were always respectful )

im a fan, but not a blind one. i wasnt making an excuse after Wlad collapsed against brewster, i was up throwing my bowl of popcorn and screaming at the "*****" to get up. I was drunk, i couldnt help it. But yeah, im not delusional(?) about the Klitshkos, just a fan. And just so you know, i keep donating points to you because you are one of the only people on here that doesnt seem biased against any fighters (minus Jones ) and i dont want anyone to steal my points anymore.
