    Tyson during his worshiped GOATS career had 1 most notable victory: out of retirement and out of shape:D Holmes.

    GOAT. :ibutt:bump.

    Now, rude fans, all other notable boxers Tyson had fought with had put him in place he deserves to be.
    Lewis.
    Holyfield.
    They had gave your hype job a boxing lesson.
    More than this, before out of shape and prime Holmes Tyson had in the ring nonames.
    GOAT, LOL.

    Nonsense

    There are some good fighters on his resume from that era

    Pinklon Thomas, James Smith, Tyrell Biggs, Tony Tubbs, Michael Spinks

    OK, actually Tyson even likes me. Still it is amazing how his fans are devaluing any other boxer with such vigour.
    They are harsh and not rarerly rude regards to other boxers, especially if they are not from U.S.

    All talks how easily he might beat up later era boxers etc.
    Povetkin even maybe was mediocre etc for these fans.
    Prime, young and in shape Tyson had been finished in distance by Douglas. This is not well known boxer, he just had held some pro belt for some short time. Nothing more.

    This is from your personal criteria.
    Only and nothing more.

    Slow Holyfield version exposed Tyson in 90 ies.
    Lewis exposed Tyson as well.
    Douglas exposed Tyson, who is Douglas?

    I can imagine what might happen with Tyson from 1988 th if he had Holmes from 1980 th in the ring.

    This is fact for you.
    Nothing else.
    Fact is that you undervalue every other boxer with vigour.
    Fact is that Tyson had been stopped by Douglas.

    You please, sit in internet till end of your life and type how mediocre from your opinions other boxers are.
    It is normal for fans. Continue.

    I will not bother to read your posts.
    Go somewhere and entertain yourself further, maybe start discussion who is better prime Ali or prime Tyson etc.

    You really think that your opinions about me matters might worry me?
    You really are delusional if you even hope that I will read your posts. :D

    Povetkin would have been knocked out in about 90 seconds so I don't think it's a valid question
