    The only credit I will ever give Tyson, is merely the credit he is due. He was very good at beating up, alcoholics, junkies, bugs, earwigs, and c - level fighters that were terrified of him. Fanboys are impressed by that sort of ****, the rest of us weren't.

    It really is simple. Everyone, and i do mean EVERYONE who took the fight to the cretin, beat him up, and knocked him out. That is undeniable FACT, not OPINION, simple FACT.

    Over rated tosser, a bit like the Incredible Hulk. Pure fantasy.

    Ruddock,& Berbick both took the fight to him, both were beaten.

    Nonsense.

    Neither of them could take a fight to anyone. They walked forwards, they didn't take the fight to him. Big difference. Ruddock managed to hit back a few times, thats about it. He was basically a punchbag, albeit a tough one.

    You have offered no analysis whatsoever, except for saying "Oh, he's bigger." Try harder.

    Yes, yes, yes. That old line has been parroted by shallow thinkers for ages now. Look, this is starting to get boring. It's just the same old thing over and over again.
    Unless someone actually has some post of real worth to offer, I don't see the point in carrying on with this pointless bickering.

    There is no need to try any harder. It is self explanatory to anyone who isn't a Tyson fanboy. Nothing in Tyson's resume suggests he could fight and beat someone with the size, power and skills of either Klitchko.

    I watched Tyson's career as it happened, and after cus died he wasn't the same. he was washed up at an incredibly young age and he wasn't no where near his best before douglas. by the time of holyfield it was all over as a top guy, and he still beat solid heavyweights.
