Yeah, Holmes wasn't awful by the time he fought Tyson, but a prime Holmes was FAR superior than the version that fought Tyson. A prime Holmes...
1. Tyson did not batter Tillis. Tillis made Tyson work and actually boxed him well. Even the commentators noted that Tyson looked significantly...
You're being naive or intentionally ignorant if you think that.
You're the imbecile who tried to tell me Wladimir Klitschko was faster than Muhammad Ali, and when I ask you for evidence, you tell me to watch...

How does this mean he has a weak chin? Frazier's chin is average; anyone can get knocked down by a well placed shot. Muhammad Ali has been knocked...
The Buster Douglas who fought Holyfield was overweight; he was 246lbs and noticeably fat. The Douglas who knocked out Mike Tyson was...
Holyfield isn't a puncher like Mike, he's a boxer. Ray Mercer was quite good. That's about it for post-peak Holmes; he was an okay fighter. The...

If you disagree with me, then post in the thread where I made my argument outlining how Tyson's caliber of competition was very weak in contrast...
Tyson's early competition is comparable to Deontay Wilder's. Check the link I posted. If we look at Frazier's early fights, we'll notice a lot of...
