100% agree. He was throwing combinations like a welterweight (while nowadays you have to search hard to find a HW who throw a combination in a fight), not to forget his defensive moves (upperbody movements and footwork). Newbies need to watch some of his old fights instead of post-jail. That Tyson was great, no question.
atsch What a **** post, Tyson is an ATG, he fell off against Holyfield but prior to that he cleaned out the HW division and had a great reign.
Allot of people enjoy shitting on Hatton and I for one dont like his fake one of the lads persona but........ What should he have done at 140 pre Tszyu to have earned your respect? His mission was to be P4P number 1 and he went after Mayweather to achieve that so whats the problem? He could have fought Witter but apart from that who was there at 140?
Holmes is an ATG, Spinks is considered on the best LHW ever and Thomas, Bruno, Smith, Tucker and Berbick are never bums.
I think one of the K's brothers. Dont get me wrong mike was nice......but that divison weak ....like it is now.
His record lists at least 11 fighters who were once HW champions (only counting WBC/WBA/IBF titles. That is one title less than the current situation- WBO).
Holmes was over the hill but the others were not, Tucker was 35-0, Berbick wasn't shot, neither were Spinks, Tubbs, Bruno or Thomas.
