a young green tyson 85 vs 82 peak gerry ****ey

Young Tyson had the physical talent and skills to pull it off but it's impossible to say whether he would have been psychologically ready and had the self-confidence to make such a leap, especially if he ate some hard punches early on.

 

at 19 he was mionths away from winning a world title from Trev.

Berbie was better than Coo.nman, who shouldn't have been in the ring with larry.

 

theres nothing that's not been read, Gerry was a hyejob who shouldn't have been given a title shot, Tyson was 12 months from a title shot and a few months from contenders who would handle Coo.nster.

 

That's actually a really interesting question. I think in most scenarios Tyson would be too much, but in that particular one it is hard to know how a head case like Tyson would have handled a jump like that.

I'm not a huge ****ey defender, but I think in 1981/1982 he was a damned good Heavyweight (good, not great) and would have given Tyson a lot of issues.

 

Tyson can definitely win this. Just because he wasn't pushed to the extreme in those first 10 bouts doesn't mean he can't come through with a victory against Coo-ney. But Gerry is a lot better than most people give him credit for. Big and powerful with a helluva left hook. The man was dangerous. Who knows, it might be too early for Mike but I think he had the will to pull it off. Bad intentions.

 

****ey by KO.

 

Tyson was sparring 15 rounds with seasoned pro's and title contenders before he even signed pro forms. He was so different. He blows ****ey out, even as a novice. That's how different he is.

 

Hell i dont know.......i think some of u are ****tttttting out your cornflakes before u even ate them.

****ey was a creature of confidence .hed be confident vs a tyson 10-0 .he would figure im the no1 old man holmes was scared.i think ****ey would go out and land devastating left hooks early and push tyson back .tysin would fight back and hurt ****ey and suddenly it wiuld be a titanic brawl but in the 2nd ****ey wiuld stun mike on the ropes and unload left hook after left hook ,even pushing the ref aside when he tries to stop it.....to be honest i think he may just beat young mike to death there norton style as untasteful as it sounds ****ey was unpleasent enough to do that

 

Tyson wins easily

 

confidence is one thing....but Gerry wasn't even a real contender in his prime. he got a free pass for being white, sad to say.

hes getting hyped, and getting wiped.
