Where does Mike Tyson rank in the ATG list?

No

 

Pretty ****ing straight forward isn't it. If people wanted to tie Tyson up he was lost until separated. It's a glaring problem for him

 

No , guys just clung onto him more because of how afraid they were . Nobody he faced in the 80's had a modicum of success against him by clinching. None.
If you disagree then give me some names?

 

It happened in nearly all his fights ffs that weren't blowouts. Mike was like a ****** in the clinch

 

What happened?.. Got any names of guys that that had success by using the clinch?

 

Bottom half of the top 10.

 

I think you've already had a couple of names thrown at you already

 

I remember a scene in the corner where Tyson tells Rooney "He's holding me." Not sure if that was the fight.

Rooney's response was for the record books of a no-man. Not a yes-man in the corner.

Rooney; "What do you mean he's holding you? Don't give me that. I want you bent at the knees, backed by solid jab...and make him stop holding you."


I know we're supposed to rate the whole career, but I tend to see Tyson pre-prison (top 10) Tyson post-prison doesn't make the cut.

 

I agree

 

I have that obsessed , creepy , bottom feeding , loser troll on ignore so i haven't seen any names.

 

This. Sam Peter, who isn't half the fighter Tyson is was ragdolling a prime Wlad. I see a prime Tyson breaking Wlad and stopping him early.

 

Your lover Herol not talking to you anymore?

 

In fact, to elaborate:

Notice:

4:05: They're "inside" and Tyson does nothing.
4:30: Thomas ties Tyson up easily
5:00: Thomas ties Tyson up easily
5:15: Thomas triple jabs Tyson and ties him up easily
5:25: Thomas double jabs Tyson and ties him up easily

Need I really toss in some Fransie Botha footage where he tied Tyson up ad lib and where Tyson got so frustrated, being unable to do anything that he tried to break Botha's arm? Papillon is 100% right: Tyson was NOT an inside fighter at all, and dead easy to tie up.

If this looks familiar it's because I posted it on the Wlad / Tyson thread already.

But some Dumbos never learn

 

So could you name 15 HWs whose resume is better than Tysons?

 

How’d that fight end up? I stopped watching after 5:30. I’m assuming Thomas must’ve kept tying Mike up as Pinklon went on to win a decision, right?
