Derek Chisora just showed the world how Vitali Klitschko could be beaten. Problem was, Chisora didn’t have the proper tools to do the job. He is not a devastating puncher, and he couldn’t get his timing on his shots. But one thing he showed is that he managed to get into effective firing range, only he didn’t fire any shot when there were openings, and believe me, there were a lot. He said it himself in the interview after the fight – “When I got inside, though, I wasn’t working.” But he showed that his upper body movement unexpectedly presented Vitali Klitschko with difficulties. He made Klitschko miss most of his shots. Right hooks on the inside in particular. They just hit the air over Chisora’s head. Yell “Timber!” What is the method to fell a tree? That is what Chisora showed us in this fight. When he got into range, he fired right hooks to the body of Vitali Klitschko, reddening the area. Another thing to note is that after the fourth round, Vitali wasn’t able to engage his stiff jab, a clear indication that he was hurting from all those body shots. Now the big question is – imagine those body shots fired by a prime Mike Tyson. The right hook to the body, which is one of Tyson’s trademark punches, is the prelude to his uppercuts. They are so devastating, they make his opponents lower their guards, opening the chance to unleash the uppercuts and hooks to the head. Just one of those shots from Tyson will, believe me, do more damage than just redness or soreness. Those incapacitating hooks to the body will be more than enough to yell “timber!” and watch the tree fall to the ground.

I have got to go with Tyson, his speed, aggression, power, head movements and footwork would be too much for Vitali.
I don't even think there's a question. Tyson would knock Vitali out in the first round. Vitali hangs his hands down by his sides and leaves his head exposed.
