What was all the fuss about mike Tyson ?

Me neither, so he knocked the crap out of some tomato cans, big wow.

 

Like Wladimir, right?

You can only fight who is in front of you.

 

if you think Tyson was over rated then you dont know fkall about boxing. His style had a use by date, and it was well out of date by the time he faced Holyfield. Holmes asked for what he got. Spinks needed a payday but the KO was a a highlight reel KO. Douglas had Givens in his corner too.....she really did a number on him with her mum included in that circus. He brought excirment back into boxing. Thats history and that is a fact. deal with it homoegood:rofl:yep:hey

 

A prime Tyson, before he started banging drugs, drink and broads, was a monster, he would have beaten any heavyweight, Ali included! Tyson beat himself

 

As has already been said, he was a very special fighter. Once in a lifetime speed and power.
The best of Mike Tyson would beat the best of most heavyweights from any era.
The real problem is that for whatever reason, natural burn out, outside distractions, whatever, is that his peak was so short. For example I believe that the best of Tyson would beat the best of Holyfield or Lewis, but they were able to stay closer to their peak for a longer time period.

 

If you don't think tyson is special, obviously you haven't taken a look at the heavyweight wasteland that exisits today. In fact, if you look throuighout boxing history, only a couple of times has there been one fighter that was so absolutely dominant for so long against competition that was pretty deep...the 80's might not have been as loaded as the 70's talent-wise...but it was better than pretty much any era before or since and tyson was the dominant figure in the 80's. I rank prime tyson #1 all-time among heavyweights.

 

Its probably because......YDKSAB perhaps?

or maybe you havent watched his fights or followed his career

 

Lennox Lewis knocks over the same cans and you've made him into a legend?

Bruno, Tucker, Ruddock (x2), Golota, Botha were cans

 

Well, he was better than George Foreman for a start

Tyson actually made a career out of knocking out DURABLE fighters (most who'd never been stopped before,
Foreman made one out of beating chinny guys....Norton, Moorer, Frazier

Guess how long Foremans era lasted for? yep 3 fights and one of those legendary title defences was in Japan against Joe 'Gypsy King' Roman

Foreman was THE biggest ducker of the 90's. Why did he face Moorer (chinny and former lhw), Morrison (chinny), Holyfield (former CW who up until that point, hadnt been tested), Qawi (former lhw), Cooney (a crackhead)

Lets look at the names missing from Foremans resume....Tucker, Bruno, Ruddock, Mercer, Holmes (who BEGGED Foreman for a fight), Lewis, Bowe, Mcall.......am i seeing a pattern there?

 

A fighters true greatness is measured by what his peers say

Holyfield constantly states (then and now) that him and Tyson were the best 2 heavyweights of the era and he knew he had to beat Tyson to be seen as the best heavyweight.

Lennox Lewis ' I had to beat Mike Tyson to cement my legacy'

Who are the most called out fighters today? Floyd, Pacqiauo and Wlad, why, because they are the best

 

u must have been born after his title reign....which means you dont know shi.t if you have to ask a stupid question like this :-(

 

what a dumb troll the ts is.

truly pathetic.

 

he's trolling.

its blindingly obvious, but ****wits got sucked in by him, lol.
