Mike Tyson the youngest and greatest heavyweight champion of all times. His official record states that he lost six times and that two of his fights were no contests, if you however dig a little bit deeper into his record then you'll see that those losses were really wins not losses and should not be marked as such on his record. Lets take a look at so called losses and no contests on Mike's record. 1. James Buster Douglas - Buster should rightfully have been counted out that night and besides that the ***** Robin Givens had demoralized the crap out of Tyson so she was practically in there with Douglas tag teaming against Tyson. Boxing is of course supposed to be a one on one sport so this alleged loss clearly can't be taken into account when assessing Mike Tysons career. 2. Evander Holyfield I and II - Evander Holyfield was using PED's and that's illegal and besides that Mike Tyson was using all those anti depressants and such so you can't really claim that Holyfield beat Tyson, it was much more a case of Holyfields PED's and Mike Tysons depression beating Tyson and besides that Tyson VS Holyfield II was stopped after Holyfield sustained a very bad injury that probably would have resulted in a Tyson win. No way that these fights can be counted as losses on Mike Tysons record. 3. Andrew Golota and Orlin Norris - These fighters were pretty much down and out when those fights were stopped. 4. Lennox Lewis - Mike Tyson was using alot of cocaine and sedatives and such before that fight, if anyone beat Tyson when that one took place then it was Tyson himself or the drugs. Lewis also used dirty tactics during that fight, you can't win a fight via dirty tactics, such tactics are supposed to result in disqualifications not victories. 5. Danny Williams - Frank ****** had his goons rough Tyson up a few days before that fight due to some unpaid jewelry bills that Tyson had run up some months earlier. You could give the Win to those goons that roughed Tyson up and demoralized him those days before that fight but their names don't appear anywhere on Tysons record and boxing is of course not supposed to be a tag team sport. Danny Williams on the other hand can not be given a win over Tyson since he did not earn one. 6. Kevin McBride - Considering the many hardships that Tyson had to endure it's not surprising that he lost his passion for the sport. The man that showed up for the fight vs Kevin McBride was not Tyson. Conclusion - Mike Tyson is the most underrated boxer in history, a boxer that doesn't get the respect that he deserves, a fighter that never truly lost, a fighter that was never legitimately beaten and is the only heavyweight fighter to have retired undefeated without ever losing more than one round per fight and anyone that claims otherwise is just a racist.
You could have just said... Mike Tyson's only fights that count are when he was in his prime and when he won. No one wants to read that horse ****.
,:rasta Your full of ****:deal, just like the rest of the Tyson fanboys, I suppose that makes me racist, so go call Al Sharpton and the NAACP... This forum used to be good, now it's full of trolls, and attention whores who post nothing but horse ****..
Actually, Tyson himself wanted to retire after the Spinks fight, he felt hed done everything he had to and he said (in '88) he wanted to retire with all his money intact, he said he didnt want to end up broke like Joe Louis, SRR etc and wanted to spend time with his then wife Robin Givens.. But King wanted him to fight on. And the rest is history as they say.
Don't forget that before Tyson fought Douglas, he had a haircut but had to go to a different barber shop than normal, as they weren't in the States. The barber took a little too much off Mike's hair which threw off Mike's ability to bob and weave to avoid shots - he couldn't properly judge his head movement due to the extra couple of micro grams of weight which he'd lost due to his corrupt barber. That's the only reason that Mike had Douglas' jab and right cross in his face all night. He'd have knocked him out in 17 seconds otherwise. Mike was robbed by a horrible, hater barber. It wasn't fair.
