I think vitilia prime beats prime tyson

[-Huey-]

Hell to the no! Tyson destroys both Klitschos. Size would only be a factor in the first round, Mike beats Wlad to a pulp by the second round, and Vitali by the fourth.

Note: I strongly dislike both Klitschos, so I may be just a tiny bit biased.

A lot of people are going to go with Tyson because we all like to forget the Douglas fight. Tyson was, I think, the shortest Heavyweight champion in the last twenty years, he overcame the disadvantage in a few ways, his power on the inside, his defense and his head movement. He got very, very lucky, in that aside from an aged Spinks he never faced anyone who committed to throwing a punishing jab or frankly had a good long range straight right. Vitali Klitschko has one of the greatest jabs in HW history, and a hell of a straight right, This is the Douglas fight on steroids, because Vitali would know not to let mike work on the inside, Tyson would eventually tire and the fight would end in a round ten KO/TKO in favor of Klitscko

Your crazy, but at least your being honest as to why.

yeah but we talk about PRIME...and Tyson - Douglas was not Tysons prime..he did get knocked out in sparring...was barely training and stuff like that...this was maybe the worst Tyson in the 90s...in 87-88 he would have knocked out Douglas in the first 3 rounds and thats a given...

[Barn]

Looked to me like he got his a55 kicked and won on cuts, but that's just me.....and the judges......and Foreman,Lampley,Lederman and Merchant.

Oh and the whole audience in the Staples Center.

But hey, who are we to question your opinion?

It's not an opinion that he beat Vitali...

TKO6.

I'm only having a debate and arguing my point. Just because I'm arguing my point does not mean I believe my boxing knowledge is better than yours.

[Barn]

I've seen both and to me it was a matter of what the opponent did right moreso than what Tyson did wrong. Don't forget he dropped Douglas for 13 seconds too.

Don't really take that into account. Both counts were identical(or there abouts) and Douglas could have gotten up a little earlier if my memory serves me correctly. I'm sure he was on his knee and shook his head and got up at 9.

Tyson was buggered and if the fight continued he was going into a major asswhoopin'.

I didn't say Vitali won, I said Lewis was getting his a55 kicked and VITALI lost because he got cut by and unlucky shot that caught him just right.

That's not a riddle. It's straight forward and plain.

4 rounds to 2 isn't an ass kicking and there is no such thing as a lucky punch. Lewis was throwing bombs with the purpose of doing damage, there is nothing lucky about that. Obviously he was throwing the more effective punches, or Vitaly (with the highest heavyweight ko%) would have stopped (the glass chinned) Lewis first.

Of course you will refuse to answer this because you wouldn't want a little thing like the facts to get in the way of your opinion.
