    Mike not only a HOF fighter but was also known to be a bit of a Boxing Historian.

    No ATG by any means. But what about the man who beat Mike and took his chance to fight Vitali, Danny Williams.

    Burt Cooper was a very good boxer in the 90's cause he had a great fight vs Holyfield

    Bowe is a H2H monster and one of the best in the 90's cause he beat Holyfield

    Michael Moorer is a very good boxer in the 90's cause he beat Holyfield


    Holyfield made a lot of good boxers look great because of his style.

    The K2 bros are the anti Holyfield, their style does not let the other guy look good.

    Beat me to it.

    The reality is that the Klitschko's are great fighters hands down. But lets not pretend that the Americans in the division are on par with Holyfield, Bowe and Mike Tyson.

    Obsessed Klitschko fans suddenly care about Mike Tyson's opinion because it suits their agenda.

    And they'd recently turned their attention away from Lewis to trash Tyson continously in here on various different threads before this. If you didnt know better, you'd think he didnt belong even amongst the top 20 heavyweights of all-time reading through it. They wont even do that with Lewis... He's top 3 to them because that's who Vitali fought and defeated in their own minds. But he's a coward!

    No bruthaaaa ...because he speaks the truth and it takes one of the greatest to say it to you fellas to get the true point across ...like "maybe you'll see it how it is now " instead of blind racial hate .........

    Danny Williams was selected as a soft touch opponent for Mike Tyson, this was the calibre of a fighter that his handlers felt more comfortable with as a tune up bout. Vitaly at that stage in his career shouldn't entertained the idea of fighting Danny Williams.

    Actually he wasn't.

    While alot of credit goes to Bowe for beating Holyfield, I think it's clear as day that he was a very talented fighter. Anybody who watches him fight can see that clearly.

    Micheal Moorer was a talented fighter and a good heavyweight, beating Holyfield was a manifestation of that talent.

    Holyfield fought up and down to his level of competition but it took a special fighter to beat him when he still had it.

    Even if that were the case, it would still mean that the next great fighter who would have ruled the division if K2 were gone would be easier to point out.

    This is the thing, you guys throw every Klitschko supporter in one group.

    First it was "All K2 fans are racist" now it's "All K2 fans trash Tyson".

    Completely untrue.

    Who knows if Mike would speak in that way of the brothers if he'd have fought them or get beaten by them. But you got to respect his opinion.
