Mike Tyson in his Prime was one of the greatest heavyweights of all time

[Bombs]

Actually one of the few who would have had a chance to beat a prime Tyson would be Vitali.

Atg James Buster Douglas?



His era (when he was supposedly prime) was so bad it makes the current contenders look elite

I don't think so.

Tyson, Holmes, Spinx, Witherspoon, Bowe etc with underrated guys like Bruno and up & comers like McCall, Lewis etc

Certainly pisses all over todays H/w scene.

here we go.this will turn into a racial thread soon

Prime Tyson is a serious problem to almost every HW of any era, but his real prime only lasted from 18-23 years. Vitali Klitschko is one of the few men who would have a good chance.

i dunno the speed advantage for tyson is just too great I don't see vitali beating prime tyson .. lennox lewis couldnt beat a prime tyson either.

I recommend watching this documentary.. it is amazing and makes you understandwhat I mean:



Boxing Documentary about Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton and Larry Holmes.

I love watching stuff about that great era of heavyweights. I'll have to watch the video later because I don't have 2 hours to kill at the moment.

lets get this out of the way

Tyson was KTFO 5 times.

Vitali is unbeatable. There is no blueprint to beat him. He has dominated every opponent he has ever faced. Has never truly lost. Has never been behind on the scorecards at the end of a fight. Has never been knocked down. Has the greatest heavyweight champ KO% of all time. He is the most intimidating HW of all time. He is the only man ever to be World HW Champ in boxing and kickboxing. He's 40 years old now. He came back after a 4 year layoff and is still dominating the HW division. Hasn't lost a single round in his comeback.

Vitali and Tyson have 5 common opponents:

Lennox Lewis, Danny Williams, Jose Ribalta, Orlin Norris, Julius Francis

Vitali did better against every common opponent.

Tyson KO'd Francis in 2.

Vitali KO'd Francis in 2.

Tyson-Norris was a no contest.

Vitali destroyed Norris in the 1st round.

Tyson KO'd Ribalta in 10.

Vitali KO'd Ribalta in 2.

Lewis KO'd Tyson.

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement.

Williams destroyed Tyson in 4.

Vitali annihilated Williams. It was one of the most brutal beatdowns of all time.

Vitali DESTROYS Tyson

Tyson was an overrated, overhyped, one dimensional mentally weak midget.

Vitali easily destroys Tyson.
