You've got to give the great Negroes their deserved due; they'd have been a threat in any era; I think that, like Corbett, they'd have boxed rings...
Oops! Thus, gimme: Dempsey vs. Tyson -- the master vs. the student Holmes vs. Foreman -- the professor vs. the bully
Ali vs. Tyson -- for several reasons, the most compelling fantasy matchup Ali vs. Louis -- the two greatest heavyweight champions, once and for...
I don't buy his spin that he would beat young Tyson because of their actual fight. He had a chance to prove it and preferred a second Olympic...
Oh, boy. Lewis eluded Tyson when both were young. I will hit the Pearly Gates believing that. Tyson became the best fighter in the world,...

Tyson would soundly bust him up. Mike ate up 200 pounders, particularly those without a punch. I think the Spinks analogy is useful: Ali...

George's openness to the right hand would--as in Zaire and very nearly against Lyle--be his downfall against Tyson, Louis and Dempsey, but not...
