A combination of the best of the 2 would beat Tyson but not as individuals.
Vitali and Wlad are hard to hit they just are. If working on the inside and getting punches off vs them was easy everyone would do it....it's not for lack of trying that fighters can't do that.
Vitali has one extremely dangerous weapon, his right cross and he feints so well with his jab that he can land lead rights all day long and he upper body movement is so good he's terribly hard to hit.
Wladimir has a more by the book technical style of fighting and if Lennox Lewis could handle Tyson then so could Wladimir. Wlad is more athletic than Lennox and Tyson would have to work extremely hard to stalk him down and by about round 4 the tide would start turning.
Lennox fought an old shell of a fighter so that is not a fair comparison. Vitali is slow and almost glumsy and
Tyson would have little trouble getting in and getting his punches off.
Wlad would be harder and has perfected his style but Tyson just has to get lucky once inside and the fight will be over.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
