Why Tyson Isnt An ATG

Out of interest, what would your top 10-12 look like?

 

I highly doubt that. I've only been getting into Tyson's thread that last day or so. You're on them all the time and you mention Tyson in almost all of your posts.

 

As of right this second:
1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Lennox Lewis
4. Larry Holmes
5. Wladimir Klitschko
6. Evander Holyfield
7. George Foreman
8. Vitali Klitschko
9. Rocky Marciano
10. Jack Johnson
11. Jack Dempsey
12. Joe Frazier

 

Some decent placements on there, but Vitali Klitschko shouldn't be anywhere near top 10 and frankly I can't see rating Dempsey ahead of Tyson either.

 

Well I disagree with this statement but I respect your opinion.

 

Fair enough.

 

Thanks. :good

 

Tyson and Dempsey had analogous careers and Tyson surpassed him on about every level. There is absolutely no logical justification for ranking Demspey above Tyson.

 

hahaha great

 

What does that mean?

 

This Moron claims to know the personal details between Mike and Cus and to prove he does he compares the situation to a movieatsch
What an absolute ******.

If you are lead by this fool you yourself are the bigger clown.

 

That was a strange example he used but the first point he stated to support that argument was quite solid.

 

The ensuing decades have only boosted Tyson's standing and legacy.

The complete lack of skill, flair, excitement, showmanship and entertainment has rendered the division the worst in boxing.
Look what -Brewster- a poor mans Tyson in every department did to this era's long standing champ. Bombed him out in 4 rounds.
Sam Peter- A guy 50 levels behind Tyson. As slow as a sloth. Had the champ crawling about the canvas.

Tyson brought bedazzle but was technically fantastic to match. There's two types of Tyson fan. The KO casual fan and purist who saw impeccable defense, a master dodge and mover, superb punch technique from excellent balance and leverage.

It takes a hell of a lot more skill and talent to come forward as a small guy and beat a big guy than it does for a big guy to beat a small guy hiding behind his size which was all Wlad was good for.

This era of no talent bums and big stiff robots have done wonders for Tyson as people went back to see what a real HW champion looked like.
Tyson today , 12 years since retirement is still more popular than than the current HW champ.

Which Wlad fight will we see feature on Legendary Nghts?

 

:roflatsch
Creditably = ZERO.
