    He only has 9 wins or so, post-prison.

    But since you asked:

    Bruno
    Seldon
    Etienne
    Savarese
    Nielsen

    Since it was officially ruled a NC, and was a Golota quit job, to boot, I had to leave it off the list.

    Tyson hit him so hard he broke his eardrum, hence the quitting.

    Not quite on the level of Golota attacking Bowe's testicles.

    That may be, but Tyson had been doing a little pre-fight gardening.

    I'm a stickler about this, I guess, so I leave Golota off. But I'm not going to **** if someone has him on.

    And I agree, certainly not on the level of going south on Bowe.

    Pot isn't exactly a massive motivator or a stimulant that'd HELP you in the ring.

    We're not talking about something that'll turn you into a frenzied ****in' loon like LSD or cocaine.

    A high Tyson made him quit, shouldn't have been an NC, Tyson kicked the crap out of him. 1 of Tyson's better post-prison performances

    Ease up, fellas.

    I'm not knocking anyone's decision to put Golota on there.

    Just explained why I didn't.

    The Golotta fight is his best performance post prison.

    Although it was ruled an ND we can call it a win for practical purpouses. I doubt that Tyson would have lost if he had not been stoned.

    Hell we could call it one of his best wins period.

    ^ eh maybe , best performance though?? no. He looked f'ing terrible in that fight. It's just that Golota looked even more pathetic. Tyson's best post-prison performance was bruno. After 1996, he started looking like a shot fighter.

    Mike didn't do **** before he knocked out Botha. He was losing.
    Nielsen was a complete bum.
    Clifford was an opponent because of his ko ratio.
    Golota should have been a test.
    I wish Tyson would have fought Michael Grant or David Tua in that time ...after the Euro-bums.
