    Tyson could not hold Valuevs Jock strap.

    Tyson would be giving up a whole 1 foot 2 inches, and 80 lbs of modern muscle pounds.

    Tyson was lucky to be born in the day he was in, to his credit he beat everyone in front of him , and that's all you could really ask.

    Tyson would have to hope Valuev takes him lightly. He could then ( perhaps) at his peak box his way to a points win.

    Tyson's head movement alone was faster than Valuev's punches.

    Valeuv Beat Holyfield.

    Holyfield beat Tyson twice.


    Tyson is only 5 foot 10, and was a little heavy for his frame. He was almost 5 inches shorter than Evander and realistically has no chance to beat Valuev

    Other Modern Big men such as Lewis, Mcbride, and Williams showed Tyson to be out of his element vs the Big modern super hvy fighters with access to modern training techniques.

    Tyson looked good against old, or lighter fighters such as Spinks.

    ?

    We have a massive Marciano vs Lewis thread going, is that a troll thread?

    Marciano vs Lewis...... 7 " shorter , 50lbs lighter.

    Tyson vs valuev ......14 inches shorter, 80 lbs lighter

    If that is relevant, then so is this :good

    No, they aren't troll threads. They're honest posters, giving honest opinions, and they have a wealth of knowledge between them. Those are interesting threads.

    This on the other hand, is complete horse manure.

    Look at what you've wrote:

    "People today who think that great fighters of the past could compete with modern giants are kidding themselves."

    "Tyson would be a great cruiser weight. He's just too small to the giants that we see today."

    "Anyone giving Tyson a chance is silly."

    "Sick mismatch."

    "Tyson couldn't hold Valuev's jockstrap."

    "McBride showed that Tyson was out of his element."


    1. If you're trolling, and I hope for your own sake that you are, then you are NOT funny. It's not even slightly amusing. It's unoriginal, and it's annoying. If you want to troll, go on to the general. This section is for genuine fans of the sport.

    2. If you're not trolling, then do yourself a favour and delete your account immediately. Then come back when you've educated yourself on this great sport. Because if these are your honest opinions, you are deluded. Your posts are a joke.

    Baldor ....Valuev was just big and basic..lewis had one of the strongest right hands ever and best jabs...you also are using arguably the most balanced HW of all time at one point in Tyson..add to that you think an aged holyfield is worth noting....yes delete your account!:patsch

    The Marciano cheerleaders will never admit that bigger men like Lewis are also more athletic and skilled than him. So they come up with sop****ric nonsense like this thread and pat themselves on the back for being clever.

    No one that really studies or even follows boxing would see or say that Valuev had better skill sets than Lennox Lewis,im assuming if this is a real forum that the majotity are laughing at you who read this right now,on the contrary ,maybe you're in the wrong forum,i think WWE is more your level but hopefull you stick around for more schooling ,good to get to know who the clowns are in here,good entertainment.:thumbsup

    Preach it. Teach it.

    Some people are so blind only because they do not wish to see. Be the light, my friend.

    None are so deaf as those who refuse to listen. Inbox their ears, brother.

    Look at the way Valuev destroys the much bigger than Tyson Monte Barrett, he shows good speed, accuracy and amazing punching power to say he doesn't use full power for the fear of killing someone. To knock Tyson out my estimation is that Valuev would need to use about 60% of his potential power......
