Did Mike Tyson in his prime only beat bums and over the hill fighters?

You will care.
You were rude & continually did not even pay attention to what I wrote.
Although I would wager sometimes you *lied*, like saying you were not gonna read a long post-because your Ego could not handle not being able to support your arguments when you finally listened to mine.

Then I ask you repeatedly not to respond because you waste my time by not paying any attention-although leave it open to a peaceful exchange in other threads-& you repeatedly violate my request.

You have acted in a petty, mean-spirited way.
A bad start for you here, assuming you are not one of the many, infamous "alts" that return under other identities when banned for bad conduct or driven away.

You act with no consideration or decency, you get no respect from others here.

 

He's not worth it, my friend.

 

Thank you man, but I am not getting overheated about it.
But I tend to moralize in large part to prevent people like him from wasting other's time & causing conflict & harm to this forum-after some of us worked to clean it up for a long time.

 

ok hahaha.

 

Now you resort to taunting after wasting my time in many posts by ignoring all good faith arguments & being infantile & mean.
And reply even when I told you many times not to, like a child who needs to get the last word.
Nobody said anything positive about your juvenile provocations.

Sad.

 

Look I am listening

 

I don't agree. I am curious as to what style or styles are tailor made. He listed varying degrees of styles and exclaimed them all to be "tailor made" I'd like to know what made them tailor made. He seemed to make the "Analysisj" very easy by labeling most of the fighters as being tailor made and/or previous loss. Does having a loss prior to fighting someone automatically categorize a particular fighter as being unworthy as a viable opponent? I think not...............

 

Tyson beat everyone's ass that was put in front of him until he didn't... his challengers were skilled heavies

 

Lennox Lewis
Vitali Klitschko - Vitali cut in 3rd ahead at time of stoppage due to that cut.
Mercer - Debatable decision, Mercer had been schooled by 40yr old Holmes
Bruno - Former World title holder who had suffered KO loss to Tyson
Tucker - Former World Champion, Junkie who looked aged and lost to Tyson
Botha - Former World Champion, had already suffered KO loss to Tyson
Tyson - Addicted to anti-depressants, alcohol, cocaine & cannabis.
Holyfield - Current World title Holder
Morrison - HIV positive on decline
Ruddock - Damaged Goods after 2 brutal beatings from Tyson.
Briggs - Former title holder.
Tua - Fattest man to ever fight for title

 

Holmes knew a fight with Tyson had been on the shelf for almost 2 years. A Tyson-Holmes bout was almost signed in 1986 until HBO told Team Tyson to put the fight with Holmes on hold until after the HBO Unification Tournament. So Jacobs and Cayton reached a deal with Holmes and made sure he got first crack at the unified belts. Biggs got first shot for obvious reasons

 

I've heard the same said about just about every Lineal Heavyweight Champion's reign that I've lived through, so no, Mikes opponents were no worse than the others. Tyson had a great run, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching him fight and beat some very tough customers.

 

like Tyson said....."they all have a plan until they get hit"... i do agree that Berbick and Bonecrushed were more Strongmen than Skilledmen...
