Prime Tyson vs prime Vitali

[Silencers]

The first few rounds of this fight would have been great, Tyson always started strong and this Klitschko doesn't shy away from a brawl, the question here is whether Vitali can take Tyson's best shot because I think Tyson would have landed, if he can and can stretch the fight out, he can win this one by decision or late knockout. If he can't then Tyson wins by knockout.

Lennox bust the bitches face and stopped him so i dread to think what Tyson would do to him.

I still cackle everytime i see the ***** shouting "NO" after he was stopped by Lennox on youtube

Good at beating the **** out of bums , sorry but how many great fighters did Tyson fight before he got looked up , how many of them would have a chance at beating V.K. , not one !

Look at Tysons good prime fights , Ruddock, Bruno , Tucker ,Tubbs , come on really , Tyson was really good in his prime , fighting **** fighters , and with all this crazy fast power punching , still had trouble Knocking some of them **** fighter out !

Tyson was overrated and had lots of trouble fighting tall guys with good jabs !
things V.K is the best at , Tyson would be in for the beating of his life !

The Klitchkos have fought bums for years now.They suck.Tyson would KO his ass by the 7th round.

Tyson by murder by round 6. Vitali is even lucky if he gets mentioned in the same sentence as Mike.

Thread has been done to dath. I think prime tyson would ko him.

There are some utter goofs on this board.

Second, tall fighters with big bodies always struggle with shorter power punchers that can slip a shot.

Tyson would get insiide and **** Vitali`s body.

It's not so much of a prime Tyson, Tyson was still in his prime in 1991, what mattered was his trainer. Kevin Rooney is what made Tyson the destructive machine that he was, once he was gone he became a head hunter.

But Tyson at his peak the 1988 version that knocked out Leon Spinks? Tyson annihilates Vitali.

tyson is so ****in overrated

This thread is soooo typical for the Tyson's adorers. They completely wipe out Tyson's REAL performances and instead remember only FANTASY performances.

May I remind everyone that the so called "Prime Tyson" went to the scorecards with James Tillis, Mitch Green, James Smith, Tony Tucker and Donovan Ruddock.

Prime Tyson got KOed by Douglas!

ALL OF TYSON's KO wins (except for Lou Savarese) were against smaller (max 6'3'') opponents OR against bums. Tyson could not cope WELL WITH ANY of the tall guys (6'4''+). The first taller (somewhat non-bum) opponent he ran into was Smith (UD12, 6'4''), the second Tucker (UD12, 6'5''), the third one Buster Douglas (6'3.5'', Tyson lost), then Lennox (6'5'', Tyson lost) and the last one McBride (6'6'', Tyson lost).

Wake up!

Oh, really?

Let's compare Pre-Prison Tyson's last 10 win-opponents:
Tyson won against a median 24-2 (average 225lbs) in his last 10 fights (pre-prison).
Wlad: 27-2 (average 230lbs)
Vitali: 34-2 (average 242lbs)

Pre-Prison Tyson's KOratio against non-bummy opponents (= those who win 75% and more of their fights):
Tyson: 64% KOratio
Wlad: 78% KOratio
Vitali: 80% KOratio

In other words: Wlad's & Vitali's opponents are better and heavier than Tyson's and their performance (KOratio) is more impressive.

Stop dreaming please.
