    What do you think Mike Tyson's best performance is? Where do you think he displayed all or most of his skillset? Mine was his KO win over Tyrell Biggs in 87.

    I got a uncle who was alive when that fight happened and he said it was all corrupt.

    Anything after this is rather pointless.

    I saw what you did there.

    I''d say the Spinks fight.

    Tyson seemed at his peak both physically and mentally.

    Either Spinks or Pinklon Thomas.

    But anything from 1986-88 will do.

    He was perfect against Spinks and against Holmes he got a guy out of there that was extremely difficult to get out of there even during his second career stint.

    i'd say that even post Rooney Tyson had some good performances, particularly the Ruddock fights.

    Berbick or Holmes probably because he annihilated world champ level guys who had good chins and styles that excelled at dragging a fight out.

    Pinklon Thomas was nice clean and crisp performance. So was the Alex Stewart win, though against an average opponent
