I would not say Tyson beat way better guys there better not by much though the 80's was about as bad as it is now. Vitali i think is just a really bad style for Tyson not even saying he is better Vitali just plain bad match up when it comes to the size and style they had.
If you do that with Vitali's best wins it makes him look considerably worse. Either guy could have won and we have no measuring stick, all I was saying.
