Vitali Klitszcho vs Prime Tyson?

[jabsRstiff]

Dude, Douglas was able to not only stop tyson, but dominate him for the entire fight with exception of about 30 sec. Whether Tyson was in the fight mentally or not, he was in about the best shape I've ever seen him in, and fought about as well as he ever has. Douglas was no all time great, case in point.

Douglas was not an all-time great....but he was more talented & skilled than Vitali could dream of being. What he lacked, was the hunger & motivation to turn those gifts into greatness.
For one fight, he put it all together like he always should have....& put in as great a performance as I have ever seen.

Vitali is incapable of such a performance.

someone please tell me what vitali has shown us SO FAR, for us to have a debate.

His style might cause trouble to tyson? I don't think he has the volume of punches to prevent tyson from going to his body while bobbing and weaving (not the hardest task ever since he basically stands up).

Would he have the heart to overcome adversities? getting up from the canvas and continue to work on his plan? maybe, maybe not. We did not see that yet. On the other hand we saw him quitting on an injury.

Does he have the stamina to go in the later rounds with high activity fighter like tyson? we don't know yet

maybe 10 fights from now it will be obvious that vitali can beat tyson in his prime, but for now... it's just bs

I'm not saying that VK is on Douglas' skill level, but Douglas proved my point, that any tall fighter with decent skills and a stiff jab can get to Tyson. I mean, Tyson had some serious problems hurting complete bums early in his career, guys that stood in front of him or laid on the ropes and let him wail away at them, guys quite a bit smaller than VK. VK doesn't have the speed or skills of an in shape Douglas, but he's four inches taller and at least 20 lbs. heavier, and has fairly fast hands, for his size. I'm not saying Tyson wouldn't or couldn't win, I'm just saying that to completely write VK off would be unwise.

Tyson by pounding out a decision similar to Tyson-Ruddock II

many Klitschko fans DO NOT KNOW BOXING.
