    Just a friendly reminder, at 38, Mike Tyson lost to an unknown bum named Kevin Mcbride
    Floyd at 38, defeated his biggest rival and 8 division champ Manny Pacquiao

    Can you imagine Floyd quitting on his stool against an unknown bum?

    Why the Tyson hate all of a sudden?
    And Tyson took way more punishment during his career than Floyd (no disrespect to Floyd at all)

    Not a Tyson hate thread, but more of a thread showing my support for Floyd as I think Floyd is too underrated and disrespected.

    Tyson got knocked out by Danny Williams (who lost 9 in a row shortly after), yet still gets tonnes of praise
    Mayweather gets s*tted on even though he is 50-0

    The heavyweight division has no business for short overweight fighters no matter how good they were in their prime. Tyson was starting took like a sumo wrestler, in the early 2000s. Mayweather was fighting guys near his size

    Mike Tyson is incredibly overrated, mainly due to his style and notoriety.

    The best two wins on his record are Michael Spinks and an old Larry Holmes.

    McBride's finest hour.

    Big strong man, but slower than a tortoise.

    Just a friendly reminder that Tyson was sensational to watch. A mesmerising combination of explosive power, movement and skill.

    Mayweather for all his undoubted ability (possibly the best defensive fighter of all time) was usually extremely dull to watch.

    Just a friendly reminder.

    Troll thread

    Tyson > Floyd

    **** floyd and his achievements, Tyson took on way more dangerous foes. Giant killer.

    Tyson will always be more loved, this year, next year and when you're DEAD

    Just a friendly reminder... you are boring, Floyd is boring, your opinions are boring.

    Mike Tyson is a GOAT, always interesting.

    In his prime Tyson was a force to be reckoned with for sure.

    He didnt take care of himself properly in and out of the gym and you know what happened by the time he was 38.

    Mike should have quit after Danny Williams, altho Williams was pretty decent when prime still no more than a solid C level opponent.
