    At least it wasn't as embarrassing as a loss against McBride

    If Chagaev is the White Tyson, does that make Wlad the White Lewis?

    With a nickname like 'white tyson', he was doomed to fail.

    No, the last minute pick by Atlas doomed the man.
    He was certainly outclassed, but man does he have a Chavalo chin or what?:thumbsup

    Too bad "White Tyson" has no power, no speed, no ability to slip a jab, and no skills at cutting off the ring.

    A Prime Tyson would have wasted both the guys that fought today.

    Agreed. It's a real disgrace to go by that moniker.

    "white mike tyson" Well at least Tyson made an impact, this guy did absolutely nothing for the divsion and OF COURSE he was going to lose to Wlad, why do you think HBO wanted nothing to do with this fight.

    You don't know that. Maybe....maybe not. A prime tyson was owned by Douglas. It is also a well known fact that tyson always had problems beating bigger , taller fighters...(who weren't bums)...

    A prime tyson couldn't finish guys likes Tillis & Mitch Green.

    So who knows for sure ? The way i see it , Tyson was dominating one of the poorest era in hw boxing history. (the 80's)... Ironically people ***** a lot more about today's era...but the previous ones weren't any better... Maybe less boring sure...but not particularly superior..

    The way i see it "prime" tyson was lucky never to be confronted to specimens of the likes of Vitali & Lennox in his prime...

    Back then , he only used to be confronted to white "american" cans no hopers and overrated black american cans too.

    The guy never stood a chance against tough fighters...He went ape **** against a TRUE CHAMPION....( Holyfield...one of the rare...real , warrior of his era)..

    Tyson was certainly an amazing athlete though... But not "the" ultimate best in boxing history and vastly overrated by the media.

    At least he's in the same division that Tyson was in.

    What was Joan Guzman thinking?
