Wow, pretty good post... I agree with alot on a preliminary basis, soon i wil have the energy to reply in full, good job though...
me? I don't think so... you must mean someone else. I've been pretty clear when arguing with people who think prime Tyson beats anyone that either A)Prime Tyson got worked by Buster Douglas or B) Prime Tyson's prime was too short to really have any idea how he fares against other fighters.
