I don't care what anyone says, I say prime Vitali would give a Prime Tyson hell. But at 40 and diminishing, Tyson would be the champ now. Wladimir may have made it look good for while by frustrating Tyson staying at long range but eventually he'd get caught.Comment

Definitely at least at #3 behind the Klitschkos.
As for the brothers, tough to say, they have a huge size advantage on Tyson, whereas he is way more mobile and ferocious (combined with the impetuous style and impregnable defense) than anyone they have ever faced. Depends on whether they could keep him at bay with powerful jabs, then at least Wlad would definitely crumble.
I'd go with Mike to rule the whole division and either eat all their children or stomp on their children's testicles, but that might as well just be the fanboy in me ignoring the huge physical differences...Comment

Mike had a lot of experience fighting guys who were '6 2" '6 3" '6 5" ish.... He use to close distance so fast... had great head movement to avoid jabs and threw death blows. I can see him knocking out both Klits.... but i can also see him having a hard time with them if they were able to avoid being knocked out.Comment
