He had gonnorhea or similar and was in a lot of discomfort against Berbick, but you're right that he wouldn't have been drinking. He was going off the rails, but he was still on them at that point. In response to another ****** posters, I don't think it was as simple as "you stand up to Tyson and he falls" - that isn't really true. Plenty of guys stood up to him and he put them down. The Tyson that fought Buster was lazy and unmotivated and still nearly put Douglas out. The difference was that Douglas was so well-conditioned, he was able to recover. Tyson wasn't. The Tyson that fought Holyfield did a good job early on, but Holyfield was more versatile and eventually defused him. This revisionist treatment of Tyson is nearly as dim as the people who think he's the GOAT at HW.
Asswipe .. you're so ****ing stupid I don't have the patience or desire to tear you a new *******. Just shut the **** up and recognize you are obviously some limp wristed ***** with zero athletic ability - it is why you are taking such offense to the TRUTH. ****ing idiot - get in the gym and off the internet wimpy. You need to get with the real athletes and discover what the talent pool holds - not merely in your backyard of ******s and inbred mother****ers. The quality hasn't gone away - it merely isn't boxing. The best of the best can excel in ANY SPORT - you think that great athletes only did one thing in school? IDIOT. The best aren't pansies like you and yours. As I stated ... if YOU think these heavyweights are good you are a non-athletic ****. Haye? What is that about? Moron.
Your too stupid to know the truth and i see you ducked every question.. i wonder why? I play basketball 4-5 times a week against colledge players as well as at the practice facility i play pick up games with some of teh Jazz so you should just shut the **** up about that. And again the talent is still there but its just coming from outside the U.S where more people learn it also there are still 106,000,000 more people in the USA you really dont think any of them box? :deal and you saying you dont see any athletic ability in the brothers show how stupidly biased you are maybe you should take your own advise get off your ass and play an active sport like basketball or football or STFU Also the best can be good at many sports but not at a pro level MJ couldnt even stay on a mlb roster and he was the greatest basketball player ever.!
lol at u???? what the **** are u talking about...never could take a punch...hahahaha arkansas...figures....what are you 16 years old? tyson has a granite chin....I still think wlad may beat him if he fights a perfect fight and catches tyson but doubt it...not cuz he could never take a punch though lol....he took everything lewis had and would not quit...same with buster....in his prime he took plenty of shots u just never noticed cuz u think boxers are toys and not humans
how are they 2 JOKES...they are BY FAR the two best HW's in the world right now....wlad would decapitate marciano and I am a proud italian and from mass....and they have fought tougher competition than ur REAL CHAMP
see, that's why I hate these things.... brings all the keyboard warriers out, I was probably boxing and watching boxing when you were still nursing, lol. The likes of which cannot even be thought of in this wimpy day of 12 rounders, I watched every one of Tyson's fights live and, while I was impressed (maybe even in awe of at times) with his speed and brutality he never, ever struck me as in the same league as the late 60's & 70's fighters. I think every one of the top ten in those days had a better chin than Mike, every one. ATG chins like Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Shavers, Wepner, even Lyle /Holmes/Bowe or Holyfield for that matter. These are the types of fighters I compare him to and sorry in my book he just doesn't stack up. Not even top 20 maybe. He never had to be tested, does that give him a good chin? What's so funny about Arkansas anyway? Beautiful, temperate, mostly lightly populated, full of lakes, and I used to live adjacent to JT's 40 acres til I sold it and moved further out.
I would give Wlad a much better chance. Wlad beats a prime mike, his jab and power too good. Vitali would lose a UD , it would look like Tyson vs Tucker
Vitali or Vlad would knock Tyson out. Vitali is no Tony Tucker, Vitali or Vlad would have knocked Tucker out easily. Tucker is nowhere near the class of Klitschkos.
Tyson lost to tall fighters that were athletic and had good jabs. A prime Vitali would beat Tyson imo. If Douglas and Holyfield could do it a prime fearless Vitali could def beat Tyson.
Klitschko haters like to use an hypothetical that can't be proven. If, wishful thinking on their part.
