Prime Vitali ( whenever it would be) , knocks out Tyson in a tough fought fight. Vitali is much more crafty then some may think.

Vitali KO in the later rounds,
wel, I wouldnt rule out a Vitali win entirely, but the man is way to slow to stay out of range of Tyson for long. Think Larry Holmes's efforts to take Tyson on, and Laryy was far better than Vitali at keeping people at bay. That would be Vitali, he would start well but be unable to fend off Tysons speed.

Psychologically of course the two fighters couldnt be more different - Tyson was ready to implode and Vitali is mentally solid - that offers Vitali some advantage too.
