Was never convinced by Tyson. I mean, people take a dump on the likes of Calzaghe, or Mayweather over the standard of opponent and then two posts later they're working themselves into a creamy lather over Tyson - who didn't get close to meeting and beating a prime Foreman, Frazier, Liston, Ali, Norton etc.
The truth is Tyson capitalised on a very weak HW division whilst some very clever marketing people played him like a puppet. From the very beginning he was a mental screwup. Everybody close to him knew that. Just as they knew it wouldn't be long before an opponent uncovered the big lie in the ring: Tyson was terrified of being bullied.
He'd have been on the end of a Lewis-esque beatdown. Standing pitifully in the middle of the ring whilst Vitali pummelled him from head to foot and all the time thinking - "I deserve this".
As for the assertion that Lewis hits harder than Tyson. As far as the full range of punches go I can't guess, but I know one thing: The only HW who threw a harder uppercut than Lewis was Foreman.

Tyson would have trouble against Vitali. Look at his fight in his prime against James smith. If Tyson couldn't knock him out I don't see him KO Vitali, and Vitali is harder to hit than Smith was with probably a better chin.
Vitali by UD or late TKO.
Tyson had a good chin but not great and I think all those shots would take a big toll on him. Mentally and physically.

Tyson was an overrated mental midget with no heart, he was KTFO 6 TIMES.
Prime 4 Prime...Vitali would KO Tyson
