    Yeah, if that's not a DQ, I don't know what is.

    No way was Holyfield worse than Golota.

    This logic applies to Tyson too.

    Perhaps he would have been if they could have found a fighter who didn't foul or use steroids to award the vacant titles to.
    Case of 'if everybody stinks, nobody stinks'.

    Tyson wasn't exactly subtle with his punching after the bell, on the break and when opponents were down, but Lewis was probably more subtle.

    I think these discussions are pretty pointless, as most, if not all, of the greats had their fouling specialities.

    Tyson was big from the get go, he didn't need steroids for that.

    He has literally admitted to taking steroids as a teen. He also frequently fouled people.

    Evander was the Joe Louis of fouls. Such crispness and clean textbook form.

    Tyson was more like the Foreman of fouls. Wild and sloppy but lots of raw power/foulness.

    Lennox was the Larry Holmes of fouls. Really good at it, but no one seems to remember him for it.

    I think you are an idiota. Basically the young Tyson wasn't into the weightlifting and muscle mass building. Considering this the steroid wasn't important for his success.

    I think your overly defensive. I didn't once say Tyson's success was based on roids, I said he took them and that was a dirty Fighter.
