    1. Vitali got knocked out by Pele Reid with a spinning kick. A punch from Tyson, Shavers, or Foreman doesn't hold a candle to a solid, flush kick from a professional kickboxer. You generate a lot more power with a kick than a punch. No one is taking that flush spinning kick from Pele Reid and staying conscious - I don't care how good your chin is. And that's not even mentioning the fact that Vitali was a kid back then, with a lanky "praying mantis" frame that wasn't yet built to take a huge forceful blow.

    2. Tall fighters were tailor made for Tyson's style? Yeah, maybe guys like Dave Jaco. The truth is, like I mentioned he struggled with a complete can in 6'4'' Jameson, struggled offensively against 6'5'' Mitch Green as well as 6'4'' Bonecrusher Smith. Took 10 rounds to finish 6'5'' Ribalta, went the distance with 6'5'' Tony Tucker and took 7 rounds to finish 6'5'' Tyrell Biggs.Then of course he got destroyed by 6'4'' Buster Douglas and was given hell by 6'4'' Razor Ruddock.

    That's prime Mike. If you want to go post-jail Mike, who were his losses? Holyfield of course beat his ass twice, then 6'5'' Lewis, 6'4'' Danny Williams and 6'6''/6'7'' Kevin Mcbride.

    I don't know where you're getting this "tall fighters were made for Tyson" idea, because historically his WORST performances were against tall guys.
