    You Tyson haters can be spotted from a mile away. At least I admit I'm a Tyson fan. What's your excuse?

    Well of course Tyson paced himself. His work rate was intense. But why knock him for it when it's never accounted for a loss? If Mike is beating you after 6 rounds, he'll beat you whether it goes the distance or not.

    Ravaged is to harsh a word but yes Holyfield beat him on that night. I found Holyfield's performance surprising given his previous fighter against Bobby Cyz whom he was very lucky to beat on cuts. Holyfield has been accussed of using Steroids and using PED's to boost performance during fights and if you analyze the performance difference b/w the 2 fights, it raises questions.

    Yes he was. Quite obvious wasn't it? That's not my argument and if you're able to read properly you'd notice I never typed that. But he was hesitant at the 9.5 count and clearly wasn't sure if he wanted to continue.

    I've never hated on another boxer as much as the Tyson Hater Campaigners hate on Tyson. You puds put your entire belief system into hack articles by Frank Lotierzo and Supreme Tyson Hater Leader Teddy Atlas.

    Can you imagine the press conference and buildup. Toneys mouth would eat Tyson alive (pun intended).

    You mean the heart condition resulting from rampant steroid abuse?

    Better than going down like a chinny overprotected girl who has never been in a street, bar fight by going down by strike to the face twice to underdogs. Atleast Tyson gritted it out and hung in there in his defeats.

    You were doing both and then lobbying for support from the well known Tyson hate club.

    The above statement and the below statement are contradictory. You should have the guts to come out of the closet and say it that you hate Tyson like Wass1985 does rather than trying to hard to pretend to be an intellectual boxing fan

    Nothing wrong in being a bully which i am pretty sure which Lewis would loved to have been as Frank Bruno said "I would prefer to face Lennox Lewis every day rather than Mike Tyson once a year". The Bully has a million plus followers compared to his masters who desperately needed his name on their resume for the search of credibility.

    Jees dude. Climb out of Tysons underwear and take a breath. You've devolved into a ranting lunatic. Even Tyson doesn't go on and on about it like YOU said. Maybe because by accepting and acknowledging his pugilistic limitations against certain style fighters he found peace. Ramp it down before You lose it and run outside and bite someone.

    Read Tyson's autobiography where he raises his suspicions. Dwight Muhammad Qawi has also raised Steroid and PED allegations against Holyfield with respect to their bouts and also Holyfield got caught in a Steroid sting operation and has had numerous heart problems which are consistent with Steroid and PED abuse.

    Holyfield suspicious body transformation invites a Steroid and PED use debate.

    I can’t dispute that Holyfield’s heart condition may have been caused by his alter ego, Evan Fields.

    My point is that people were genuinely concerned for his safety prior to the first Tyson fight, which opened at 25-1 odds.

    Well, you do have a point: Tyson never had heart problems because HE NEVER SHOWED HEART IN THE RING DURING A TOUGH FIGHT! His nickname should have been El Foldo. Jack Dempsey died May 31, 1983 and even his corpse couldn't have lost to Tyson s final loss to McBride. Besides Leon, No former Heavyweight Champion lost to a bigger bum at the end of his career than Tyson. Martina McBride was tough than that bum. Frontrunner central is the list Tyson is at the to of. Oh of since he was before Dokes, also the top of Heavyweight Champions convicted of ****. Let's not forget that HOF gem. OK your turn lets hear more of the polishing of a turd, who in the end no matter how much polishing is still a turd.

    Nah, this is a pure hatred post, Tyson showed plenty of heart in his defeats to Douglas, Holyfield, Lewis, Williams, he showed plenty of heart in his 2 victories against Razor Ruddock, against Frank Bruno. Just like Ali, Holmes, Holyfield e.t.c. don't get crucified for losses which occured at the end of their career's, so will Tyson not get crucified for losses which occured towards the end of his career.
