    Win or lose is total unimportant in Tyson's case the haters
    can find some problems in every Tyson performance in or out
    the ring.
    Maybe similar type ****s:
    - He beat Biggs (Biggs was inexperienced)
    - He beat Holmes ( Holmes was too experienced)
    - He beat Spinks (Spinks was too small)
    - He beat Nielsen (Nielsen was too big/fat)
    - He beat Tubbs (The ko punch saved him from a big guy, and
    Tyson was one-dimensional)
    - He beat and outjabbed Tucker ( He couldn't knock Tucker
    out this proves he had always problem with the big men.)
    - He beat Ruddock(2times),Bruno (2times),Smith
    (Tyson looked bad and vulnerable against the tall big hard-punching guys.)
    Tyson destroyed in the first round Savarese,C. Williams,Seldon,Etienne, M. Frazier etc.
    ( Tyson was a 3-4 round fighter)
    Tyson knocked Ribalta out in 10th round
    (Tyson could knock this guy out in last round because he had
    always problem with the tough,tall guys)

    Obviously Lennox Lewis wasn't vulnerable because the
    mediocre,slow, featherfisted McCall knocked him out in the second
    round considering it was a lucky punch.

    Thats what I love about you Tyson fan boys. You're always good for a laugh.

    In the one breath you claim that the myth busting Douglas fight was an abberation, and the deterioration in the " invincible " Tyson could be seen as early as the Bruno fight.

    Then you come along and crow about how wonderful he is because he battered Bruno twice.

    So which is it? Make your fvcking minds up ffs.

    Similar to Tyson v Ruddock 2. Tyson starts out bobbing & weaving, throwing 2 & 3 punch combos, realizes he's not going to K.O George early, so settles into a plodding rhythm. He'd eat some big bombs but win a wide decision.

    Care to explain how Lewis put on one of his best performances against Ruddock and then got parked against Mcall, he then beats Holyfield and Tua only to get sparked by Rahman, which one is it? Lewis was in his prime or he wasn't?

    No, just Lewis didn't have the best of whiskers and paid for it twice, he still beat your hero though and has a better resume and legacy so it's water off a ducks back.

    A C minus version of Tyson called Alex Stewart took Foreman to the brink of disaster and busted him up something goodÂ… but the real McCoy is going to get steamrolled?


    Yeah, sure.

    Yeah Alex Stewart is a carbon copy of Mike Tyson....

    If you wanna play like that, Foreman took prime Holyfield the distance whilst past his prime Holyfield knocked Tyson the **** out....

    He didn't knock him out. Have you even watched the fight?

    It was a TKO, Tyson was stopped on his feet and that was more due to exhaustion than Holyfield.

    Wait, your the same idiot who claimed Holyfield slipped in the first seconds of the first fight with Tyson. When even Stevie wonder can see, it was a punch.

    Foreman went 12 rounds with Holyfield.
    Tyson went 11.5.

    Foreman had fought in around 25 fights, approx 80 rounds in the 4 years prior to facing Holyfield.

    Tyson had fought 8 incomplete rounds in 5 years prior to facing Holyfield.

    There's a difference between an active and an inactive fighter.

    Tyson also won a couple of rounds, how many did Foreman win?

    Foreman fought a smaller Holyfield who was not an experienced heavyweight

    Tyson fought a much more experienced, bigger and stronger Holyfield whod mixed with the best up until then, guys like Bowe, Moorer, Mercer, Holmes etc.

    Tyson also fought a much more aggressive and competitive fight.

    At least Tyson could knock Douglas down but Lewis was total
    **** against the Byrd victim Vitali Klitschko.
    McCall and Rahman destroyed Lewis in the early rounds easily.
    I don't understand your stupid point.Be modest Lewis
    licker girl !
    Bruno ? Yes Lewis was total **** against Bruno.
    The Lewis destroyer Mccall couldn't knock the 45 years old
    Holmes out, this case says all about Lewis' limited quality.
    Don't forget the cherry-picking is nothing to do with the
    talent !
    I don't know only one real good,remarkable impressive Lewis win
    against a still good prime fighter.
    -37 years old Holyfield ? No thanks
    Post prison mental collapsed maybe total drug problematic
    Tyson ?
    -Lucky win against Quitali.
    And some Lennox "Luigi" fans can proud of these **** wins.
    It's incredible.

    Tyson was battered and was turning away to avoid punishment, he was out on his feet in the 10th round. By saying it's because of exhaustion shows you haven't even seen the fight, Tyson was wiped out from a temple shot that started the onslaught.

    Yeah Holyfield was caught by surprise and knocked off balance, only a re****ed nuthugger like you really believes Tyson hurt Holyfield.

    Foreman had been out of the sport for a decade, twice as long as your hero and was grossly overweight, suppose that doesn't matter to a Tyson bummer like yourself.

    Foreman was fighting a prime Holyfield yet was still competitive and had Holyfield hurt on occasions whereas Tinkerbell Tyson was facing a worn torn veteran yet was still demolished.

    No you mean Tyson only fought one way which was getting beat from pillar to post, as always.
