    Biggs, Spinks and Holmes were supremely talented boxers who'd school the Klitschko's.

    :lol:

    Tyrell Biggs in his "prime" struggled to get past a washed-up David Bey. How the hell is he going to beat a Klitschko ?

    Biggs was a bust as a pro. An a cokehead. Cashed in by his management against Tyson.

    The fact of the matter is, you don't no boxing at all, and what's even more pathetic is you're masquerading as a black man.

    Please...

    Shut the **** up, and learn about the sport....

    *****.

    you cant control how weak your era is. thats doesnt have anything to do with the fighter. if your a great fighter and the competition isnt that great, you can only do one thing dominate; your era for as long as you can. and it also doesn't mean they couldn't compete in a tougher era either.

    I'd school you in any boxing discussion. Pick the topic. Seriously. If you don't then, as I long suspected, you don't know jack. If you make comments, be prepared to back them up. You can't even do that, and you claim to be a boxing fan. Please....

    Also, I've posted pictures of me several times in the lounge over the years. My blackness is not under suspicion, unlike your mental capabilities.

    Biggs had a good opening round if I recall, jabbing and moving. Then Tyson broke his body up and smashed him out of there.

    But Bruno?

    You must be punch drunk.

    Yeah, you can make the argument that Tyson dominated a weak HW era - but that argument doesn't hold water with Jones.

    Jones has the W over Hopkins and Toney. Both of those wins are VERY impressive.

    I think Tyson's era is being a bit underrated. Pinklon Thomas, Biggs, Tucker and Holmes were all good fighters. I think they could be competitive in any era.

    If Peter, Thompson, and Chambers represent Wlad's best wins then there isn't much to brag about...

    I don't rate Biggs at all, but I rate Tucker a LOT, and I'm convinced he would have beaten Tyson if it wasn't for the injury in the 4th round. IMO he was a massive underachiever. As far as I'm concerned, Tucker would own either Klitschko. Pinklon Thomas was gifted, put combos together well and had fast, powerful hands, but was technically very poor. In fairness, the annihilation of Thomas was probably one of Tyson's best performances. The Holmes that Tyson destroyed was still quality.
