No other heavy has tried the Tyson "style" because they dont have rhe confidence to stay in range and avoid getting hit, and having the skill to get the shots through themselves.

Mike only struggled when he stopped fighting how he was taught in the first place. There is a masive difference to the fighter that could bob and weave and rarely take a shot, like against Holmes to the fighter who stood and slugged with Rudduck.
Vitali took the fight on short notice, he had been training to fight Cedric Boswell....did Vitali do poorly against Lennox? I mean sure the eye got cut, but aside from that did Vitali do poorly? He couldn't have done too poorly as he was winning rounds....so I fail to see why you bring up Lennox Lewis (a fighter who grew into his skill set) and a fight where Lennox got extremely lucky to cut Vitali like he did as an evidence that the Klitschko's are bad fighters.

Mike Tyson didn't struggle because he fought a whole bunch of bums, a half assed prepared Larry Holmes and Frank Bruno were probably the strongest competition he had before heading to prison. Donovan Ruddock was undisciplined which is why Tommy Morrison shelled him the way he did. But you just keep on believing that Tyson was some sort of unbeatable hulk, his record, and the records of the people using the Cus D'Mato style speak volumes.
