JOES isnt close and in fact JOE never beat someone as good as VITALY his whole carreer or for that matter as good as MIKE either ! And Im laughing because of the VITALY thing you said !
Well I would disagree with that comment if anything it's the other way around. One poster even suggested that Ruddock was brutalizsed so bad by Tyson that he considers the Lewis blowout as meaning next to nothing. Then of course the comments about Lewis beating an old washed up Holyfield keep coming back.
This statement is foolish. Tyson fought Frazier well before becoming a champion and the fight was hyped on the fact that Marvis was the son of Joe Frazier. Seldon was the WBA champion and Tyson was fighting Seldon for his title. Lewis faced plenty of fighters with far less accomplishments of Bruce Seldon. How about the 14-19 Melvin Epps that Lewis faced around the same point in his career that Tyson was when he faced Frazier and was fighting his way up the ladder of contention?
And they were still bums ..Holding a title and being a champion are 2 diffrent things !!But your right he did fight a bum in Melvin Epps ...He was no where near the caliber of fighter of the great Peter McKneely ..Yup your right Lennox fought the lesser opponents ..I don't see how anyone can compare these 2 resumes whats next comparing Holyfield's to Tyson ??
Im glad you see the light.:good Don King could have put Tyson in with Mia St John on his comeback fight after prision and everyone would have still bought it. Kind of like Lewis fighting Justin Fortune after getting knocked out against Mcall right? As far as Holyfield, he certainly fought better competition, but his win loss percentage is far worse. :hi:
No if you recall you said the 90's were so much better than the 80's, I simply stated that he didn't fight 2 of the best guys from the 90's, Holy wasn't establised yet in the 80's as for Witherspoon he had already lost repeatedly to fighters Tyson beat.
:rofl Joe had 25 straight title defenses beating Walcott, Conn, and Schmeling and other champs who I consider better than Vitaly Who never beat anyone in his overrated career. All he did was win a vacant belt against golfer Sanders and defend it once against journeyman williams, FFS the highlight of his career in getting his face destroyed by LL.
Even the fact that Vitali was overrated he is still the tougher brother out of the two, and mental strength beats physical strength every night of the week.
True he is mentally stronger but Wlad has accomplished more in his career making him the better fighter IMO as he is more skilled, talented, faster and a better athlete.
