Prime Mike Tyson VS Prime Vitali Klitschko...Winner?

[LUCKY_13]

Mike Tyson at his prime
VS
Vitali Klitschko at his prime

Who you say wins and how?

[El Kabong]

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!

[El Kabong]

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 was a killer

Vitali by KO

[X]

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.

[Master]

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

Vitali by KO

Agree... VItali is more solid than Tyson and easily as powerful with a bigger range and more weight. Most of Tyson's opponents lost because they were terrorize before the match even started. Not Vitali. Plus the guy is wayy too smart for a slugger blender like Tyson, he would keep him at bay with his hard jab, wait till Tyson run out of gaz (i.e around the fifth) or et enraged because it doesn't go his way and hammer him around the tenth. Also, Lewis did grind down Tyson and normally, Vitali should have won against Lewis, I think it says a lot. So, personally, I say Vitali K.O 9-10

I think thats what all of Tyson's opponents thought "ill keep him away with my hard jab.....hes short i got height advantage...He'll run out of gas sooner or later" But Tyson moved his head alot so jabs almost didnt affect him. and although he did run out of gas all it took was one shot and its light out for you.
Its true Lewis did beat him and Vitali would MAYBE have beat him but as they say styles make fights.

[James_Teja]

Prime Tyson would KO prime Vitali and Wlad.

Vitali was a killer

He has. By Sanders in the first round. The ref didnt call it but it was a knockdown.

Watch from 6.50 in

Vitali wouldnt have dealt with the pressure and I dont mean just the amoun t of punches but the presure of having na man in front of him constantly, not being able to catch him and taking shots back. When Sanders pressured, Vitali looked clumsy. Sanders was finished with boxing at this point and too busy fucking around with golf to train. After the first round or 2 he was knackered and just stood there to be hit.

[Kid blackie]

I Think Tyson Would Have Given Any Heavyweight Trouble In His Prime Just A Shame He Didnt Have It In The Head, Wot He Could Of Been If Only He Had Teddy Atlas In His Corner As A Pro.tyson Would Have Eaten V.klitschko Up Like Pac Man
He Would Have Been To Quick For The Bigger Slower Man And
Thrown Punches To The Head And Body With Power In Both Hands It Is Easier To Throw Punches Up Hill So I Dont Think The Hight Factor Should Come Into It As Most Of Tysons Oppenont Were Bigger Than Him I Like To Think The Tyson Upper Cut Might Have Been The Final Blow To Stop Klitschko Tyson Beat Better Fighters Than Klitschko Styles Make Fights And I Think Klitschko Had A Style Tyson Would Have Loved Also Pinklon Thomas Had A Better Jab Than Klitschko
Thats For Sure, And Look Wot Tyson Did To Him.

[mexirican]

Iron Mike all day. Vitali would be overwelmed and intimidated by the shear quickness and power of TYSON. That legendary uppercut would finish him.

[wesrman]

In his prime Tyson was a killer and a very elusive target. There arent many people that could have beat him back then.
