Byrd was not fighting in the pocket by any stretch of the imagination. Watch the 4th round. He doesn't waste movement, but he keeps his distance...
Arreola's weight is fat, Canelo's is not. Duran never stops Canelo. Canelo has 35 lb on a prime Duran. Let's be realistic.

Reed or Hut would be the obvious choices
wald pussy
Byrd was his normal elusive self & employed a lot of movement, no idea what you're talking about Hut.. Ike did a great job of hunting him down
That's because Vitali didn't win. Rahman did. Knocked out an unprepared Lewis that was still better than the one Vitali got his eye turned into...
Rahman stopped a better version of Lewis than the one Vitali got stopped by. So I guess Rahman > Vitali
We're discussing a specific aspect of their styles here. Ike Ibeabuchi is harder to beat than Danny Williams.
Yeah, Ike dealt poorly with movement. He KO'd Byrd but Vitali is much more slick and swift of foot
hrm, hadn't considered that angle
...
No
Ike UD by virtue of being in shape, in his prime, and not undersized
against tyson, wald pussy would shit his pants walking to the ring if he was lucky, would see the second round through desperately clutching onto...
Thinking about Cotto or Canelo fighting Hearns, even as a tag team, is painful. Hearns could fight them both on the same night and still be done...
I think De La Hoya does check that chin.
Past his best, out of shape, and disinterested - not to mention 2 months shy of his 38th birthday when he stopped Vitali - but not shot. At least...
Mercer was 39 & well past his best when he fought wald pussy. Tommy Morrison is better than wald pussy's best win. Mercer also beat a guy called...
The question is about a 'prime Tyson'
Ibeabuchi knocked out the guy he quit against. Who did Ibeabuchi look bad against? Mercer was winning against Holmes before he got tired....
Moorer is leagues better than anyone else he's fought who he didn't lose to.
Who has Vitali ever beaten that comes even close to a prime MM? A prime Moorer would be Vitali's best win by a LONG shot. The converse isn't...
Vitali is a slow robotic oaf & would've looked it against a quick, fluid fighter like Moorer.
What transpires? (waiting for some idiot to start with "IBEABUCHI WUZ OVERRATED NOT PROVEN OK BICH" about a guy who KO'd Chris Byrd & stood...
Also, this thread overrates Vitali terribly. He isn't that good. His best win is a loss to a fat old Lewis in Lewis' last fight. He was ahead...
Ironically, for a long time wald pussy was considered to be the better fighter.
Broner will destroy him, good style matchup for him but a decent fight nevertheless. Not sure where he goes after this, though.
:lol: One absurdly strong heavyweight & four strong welter/MWs vs two big HWs, it's really not much of a contest. Tyson is at least as strong as...
