Anyone else feel the typical Mike Tyson 'flaw' is over-exaggerated?

    Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali................."Would all beat each other, the only fighter who could easily unpredictably dispatch of his openents..? Is Lennox Lewis.

    A laid back Lennox Lewis.? Go the distance win by UD, a pissed of Lennox Lewis..? possible destruction.

    Head to head, Lennox Lewis on his night is the most formiddle Heavyweight of all-time. Speed, Power, Size, Above average ring i.q, he had one of the better punch resistances of the 90's, fought and beat more big punchers than any other heavyweight of the 90's, and it is a complete myth that he has a glass chin.

    Also like i was saying before..? Muhammad Ali does not have a easy time with Mike Tyson. If Joe Frazier can beat Muhammad Ali, i am pretty sure Mike Tyson could.

    Sit down bitches....

    In terms of ring achievement, fair enough. Muhammad Ali is the greatest heavyweight of all-time.

    "We get it..? He's the greatest"

    But when you break it down technically, there are afew heavyweights that would of given him a tough time and beaten him in my opinion, he was far from a formiddle unbeatable force.

    Riddick Bowe, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfeild, and Lennox Lewis..........all fighters that no way in hell would Muhammad Ali have a easy time with, and in my opinion they could all beat each other.

    Anybody else that thinks otherwise, is completely ******ed.

    Is there any film of Ali in black and white that people could watch to maybe add a bit of context to the "If Frazier could be Ali..." line?

    Have you seen the footage of Mike Tyson..? you cannot make one rule, and only applie it to one fighter. Mike Tyson also had 4 years away from the sport of boxing, he had 4 years in jail with the ****ing gooks.

    Get this into your head, Muhammad Ali does not have a easy time with a prime Mike Tyson.

    Fine PK, no problem that opinion. Its the "if Frazier can" line thats bollocks, like saying "If Buster Douglas can...".

    Was Muhammad Ali in shape for Joe Frazier..? Did he have some kind of terminal illness at the time...? No

    Was Mike Tyson in shape for Buster Douglas..? Did he have some kind of terminal illness at the time..? No

    Buster Douglas when he fought Mike Tyson, was in incredible shape physically and technically that night. Check the tape, check the skills. Do we see many heavyweights moving and popping the laser like jab like that these days, throwing combinations at speed..? No we don't.

    So don't overlook that.

    Like i have just said..? If Joe Frazier can beat Muhammad Ali so can Mike Tyson. If Mike Tyson was in that ring during the fight of the century against that particular Muhammad Ali..? Muhammad Ali would take a beaten.

    But thats not the debate here..? Its peak vs peak..? and like i said before.....

    "Muhammad Ali does not have a easy time with Mike Tyson"

    If its peak vs. peak then Frazier being able to beat Ali has very little to do with the argument, regardless of any terminal illnesses.
