Mike Tyson at his prime
VS
Vitali Klitschko at his prime

Who you say wins and how?

Of course everyone will hate me for it but I say Vitali by KO.

Vitali was hard for LENNOX LEWIS to hit square due to his awkward lean back style. You have to figure Tyson with his short arms, short reach, and affinity for nailing people in the head would have trouble with Vitali's low guard and leaning back to avoid punches.


On offense Vitali is a monster, he has a decent jab, great right cross, and good upper cut. He also KO'd all but one of his opponents

Iron Mike Tyson in his prime would of crumbled Klitschko eventually.Tyson had far too much TNT in each of his big gun.Just look at the way he took out the Awsome SPINKS when tyson was only 20 years old.Their did'nt call him IRON MIKE for nothing!

Well Spinks was a light heavyweight....Vitali has never been knocked down.


Tyson liked to flurry and go to the body some and Vitali's style just doesn't fit for that kind of fight. Certain fighters gave Tyson hell, the tall fighters who can box, take a shot, and have the ability to win on points.

Vitali by KO

Prime pre-Robin Givens Tyson wrecks Vitali within 5 rounds. Too much speed, too much power, too much ferocity for Vitali to keep in there with.

Not knocking Vitali here, because I think he was a decent fighter.

Tyson would have busted up Vitali and stopped him. Have you forgotten how good Tyson was?

No.....have you forgotten who Mike Tyson actually fought during his reign as "King of the Heavyweights"?

Mike Tyson by KO.

There's nobody like Mike right at the moment. Heavyweight division would be exciting as welter if prime Tyson still exist.

Wlad is a better technical fighter than Vitali but has no chin. Now the most unconditioned Lewis still beat Vitali in his biggest fight. Vitali was slow and robotic and would not be able to handle the speed and punching power of Tyson. Was Vitali better than Tyrell Biggs or Tony Tucker who were undefeated against before they met Tyson? Vitali was no better than the guys Tyson beat at that time.

Vitali wins by decision was my guess.

Can't believe people would say Vitali would beat Tyson. Lewis has legitimate claim but Vitali please the world has gone mad! Vitali lost against Byrd and an unconditioned Lewis! You claim this man could beat a prime Tyson - Madness!

Can say the same about just about every great heavyweight bar Frazier, Ali & Foreman

Tyson would win UD imo btw

I don't like Tyson one bit and i think he is very overrated, but he takes the slow robotic Vitali to the cleaner's.
