Tyson in his prime would have beaten Klitschko in his prime. Hell, even Lennox Lewis beat Klitschko.

MMA - possible but Tyson wasn't an MMA fighter so that rules that out.

Have you even seen Lewis Vs. Klitschko?

Lewis in his prime would've beaten Tyson also.

Sorry - not convincing enough - Tyson in his prime would have caned the pair of them.

Agree with BigJ.  Tyson was like the Mozart of boxing.... should have died at 30....

I agree Lewis would beat Tyson , didn't Tyson duck him for years?

done to death this argument.

tyson was a once in a lifetime phenom.....many say he would have beat a prime Ali.....this is how great he was

lewis, holyfield....all cool cats and monsters.....but I think even they'll agree how incredible Tyson once was.....


btw, tyson would have knocked the fuck out of Vitali......r u kidding me.....go watch some old videos and interviews....the sound of his fist hitting those boxing bags was like death itself...it was like the cracking of thunder.....

Lewis didnt have the chin to take on a prime Tyson and Klitschko would have been taken apart and stopped about the 7th. I will give Vitali his due tho hes one of the toughest Mofos out there and would spank most "cage warriors" with ease

As good as Tyson was he would always have had trouble with Lewis. Lewis had one of the best jabs in HW history and time and time again tyson (even in his prime) had problems with big men who could jab and move. (Bonecrusher Smith, Buster Douglas)

the prime version of ali (pre-draft) would have given mike fits and would have stopped him no problem.

Lennox would have been a good match-up...only problem with the "young" lennox was he left his chin out on a platter at times....young mike would have finished him imo. Older Lennox was a tad too slow for young mike I feel.

the bonecrusher smith went to a decision, but it was a snoozefest because smith didn't come to fight.  Buster douglas was at the beginning of the end

Was Mike a righty or a lefty? I assumed he was a righty, but I just noticed most of the knockouts were from left shots.

right handed.

I'm a righty and it's just more fluid for me to "spin" left hooks off a combination then rights. plus you need to keep that right at bay to block the incoming left hook. If you out there bombing away right hooks.... you can get caught with a nice straight right, if you falling in..you'll get caught with a nice right upper cut. Basically there are risks associated with reaching over with a right hook as a right handed fighter

Vitali Klitschko - 38 wins, 37 by knockout, Greatest kayo percentage by FAR and maybe the hardest puncher over 12 rounds, ever.

he is right handed. His knockout punch is his left hook. The hook is best to throw with your leading arm.
