Wlad: 247 - Peter: 241 Weigh In Pics

:good

a man who knows his onions.

i'd go further and say he has ZERO wins over the very best.

 

Id rather see man panties than NO man panties. He looks in shape but you cant tell his mental shape from pictures and ive seen his mental shape in poor condition before against a Klitchko recently.

 

None of these wins are all that impressive. Bruno? Ha ha ha. You must have missed Larry Holmes saying he didn't want to fight Tyson and was basically retired and only did it for a suitcase full of cash Don King gave him.

To quote RING magazine: "And some consider Mike Tyson a great heavyweight even though he never beat a single hall of fame-caliber heavyweight in his prime, a faded Larry Holmes being his only notable victim."

Yes, given that Holmes was basically retired, didn't want to fight Tyson and only agreed at the last minute when Don King waved a suitcase full of cash in front of him.

Holmes knew he was going to lose.

 

well aint that cute, how did you two love birds meet up?

 

First of all, its not the Klit boys. Some arent even fans of them that are arguing.

 

Other than semi-retired great Larry Holmes, who knew he was going to lose and just did the fight for quick cash, who did Tyson beat? Some decent journeymen like Ruddock are about the best he's got in his resume.

 

certainly...

with very honourable mentions to jack johnson and jim jeffries.

 

Nevertheless, Holmes was far from his prime when he fought Tyson, whether he is bitter or not bitter.

 

nor like he hadn't fought for 2 years or was comin off the back of 2 losses to mediocre opponents anyway eh.

:yep

mug.

 

Not bad. I'd put Marciano in and take Holyfield out, though.

 

I don't see how being real about Tyson has any bearing on the Klitschkos.

The facts are the facts with Tyson: he was a great travelling carnival, but he doesn't have many big signature wins.

 

Okay, so you're saying Wladimir & Vitali aren't talented, gifted athletes? I seriously hope this was just a lame attempt at sarcasm. Wladimir has an ATG jab and his power is up there with just about any Heavyweight in history.

 

blown up light heavyweight.

 

Valuev was influential afterall.
