    I don't live here tool, I go offline to sleep etc. JudgeDredd is right you obviously can't read. Where did you come up with the 'beaten up for 5 rounds' ?
    I never posted those words. If you don't get KTFO in the first 5 rounds of a fight then thing's are obviously going better for you in term's of a result than if you had. FFS! Even when Lewis fought an old Tyson, Lennox did a lot of holding at the beginning before teeing off on him.
    Let's put it this way, if you wanted to beat Mike Tyson, you needed to avoid his customary early barrage.

    Golota was a ****ing monster before Lennox destroyed him. That's why Golota was favored to win that fight.

    every thread, you say the same ****, then i humiliate you and then you come back in another thread spouting the exact same bull****?

    your the guy who confidently said Ray Mercer could replicate anything Tyson had ever done

    your also the guy who said Tyson was born in 66, fought Holyfield in 96 and was 27 years old at the time

    you've got no credibility Whatsoever:hi:

    This is true. People looked at me funny when I told them Tyson wouldn't beat Holyfield. When Evander belted him, they all stared blankly into space while my wallet got bigger :rofl.

    Either way, it's crap to say Tyson was shot, he beat Bruno in similar fashion post prison to as he did pre-prison. Holyfield had the courage to beat a still very good Tyson.

    When exactly did Tyson duck Foreman, and when did Foreman become relevant in the heavyweight division exactly?

    Also, i find it ironic that you accuse Tyson of ducking Foreman when Foreman was offered the fight numerous times, only to turn it down and Foremans exact words were 'If Don King is involved, im out of here, im more scared of the dotted line than i am of Tyson'. If you're not going through Tysons promoter.....then how do you expect to face Tyson?

    Simple, Foreman had no intention of ever facing Tyson. Just like James Toney constantly called out the Klits....but never actually bothered fighting them.

    Secondly, Tyson would have pushed Foremans **** in

    Tyson fought some of the best fighters of his era, why didnt Foreman fight Lewis, Bowe, Holmes, Mcall, Ruddock, Golota, Bruno, Mercer and turn down the Tyson fight 3 times????????

    Why did Foreman drop his title to avoid facing Tony Tucker?

    I think we all know who the biggest ducker of the 90's was......

    Aside from the Lewis/Douglas losses, Which large heavyweights did Tyson struggle with?

    When should Tyson have fought Bowe exactly?

    A guy comes out of prison......and hes in his prime? Most people will say Tysons prime was 86-88. He fought Holyfield in 96-97....nearly a decade later, but accoridng to you he was in his prime?

    Who the **** was Lennox Lewis in '96? Tyson/Holyfield was the fight people wanted to see, nobody gave a **** about Lewis. Thats why Tyson fought Holyfield for MORE MONEY ($35m+), he would never have got anywhere near that amount for Lewis. What part of that dont you understand????

    Tyson beat Holmes, Spinks, Tubbs, Berbick, Bruno, Ruddock, Golota, Botha, Tucker, Biggs, Williams, Stewart and Etienne, his resume is better than most and only falls slightly short of Lewis.

    Lets go through Lewis resume shall we, name me his top 10 wins please.

    Answer every single one of these points or log off and dont come back. However, as in all of your previous threads, i dont expect you to come back with a response, just a load of more chilidish nonsense. You're a blatant liar and deceiever who likes to on purposely twist facts around.

    wassup :hi:

    That may be due to the fact that during the first Bruno fight, Tyson was coming off his longest layoff at the time and going through personal turmoil, hed had a car accident, was taking anti depressives and recently went through a divorce and had nearly a years layoff since the Spinks fight, plus Bruno really came to win that night, he even beat Tyson in the staredown.

    In the second fight Tyson came in good shape and Bruno came in with no intention of winning whatsoever.

    I never said anywhere that Tyson was shot at 23, i merely asked the question WHY a fighter cant be shot at that age?

    Lewis, Wladmir and Vitali didnt turn pro until they were around 25 years old.

    People seem to forget or on purposely ignore that soon after his first defeat, Tyson went to prison, he was nearly 30 when he came out

    I think your misunderstanding my point.

    Tyson beat alot of the same guys Lewis did, but Lewis is made into a legend for that and Tysons resume becomes overrated?

    No, the rematch was Bruno's last ever fight. He didn't even bother to try because he knew he had no chance of winning. He wanted no part of the fight but was it written into the contract that he had to defend against Tyson if he beat MaCall.

    So now you are changing it from Tyson to just a generalisation? The exact words you used were referring to Tyson. Chances greatly improved if you could get pasted 5 rounds against him is what you said. Who beat Tyson by taking him the distance?

    This.

    By the time Lewis got to him he was not even close to the fighter he once was, and even more shot after that, all you have to do is watch his fights and/or training sessions to see he was much more fluid and explosive in his prime, whatever age that was...

    Some people DKSAB so they probably cant comprehend that though.

    Lets put it this way, Tysons peak performance was Spinks in '88, he fought Lewis in '02

    That means Tyson fought Lewis a whole 14 years past his peak.

    Yes. Douglas beat him straight up, whether Tyson was focused enough for that fight or not is hard to say but at the end of the day it doesn't matter, he lost. I just hate it when people diss Mike for losing to what they refer to as "bums" when the truth is Mike himself was no better at that point in his career, it's so obvious. Also Lewis needing as many rounds that it took to finish off that version of Tyson (who was really only a threat in round one maybe two) is hardly a great win in my opinion.

    Come on mate. I also never mentioned anybody beating him over the distance. Douglas ko'd him late, Evander stopped him late. Lewis got through 5 and took him out in 8. McBride in 6. Williams was in serious trouble early but stuck fat and got an older Tyson by 4.
    4 of his 5 legit losses came in fights that went past 5 rounds. He never got ko'd early, he only got beaten in fights that went down the stretch when he was closer to his prime. I posted if a fighter could get past 5 against him his chances of winning improved. Look at Tysons record and there is absolutely no way anyone of sound mind could argue with me. I honestly don't know what you are on about. you are nonsensical and it seems like arguing for arguments sake.
