    No. As I've pointed out already, Tyson has far the better record. Honestly mate, it's not even a debate. EDIT: Although it is alll of course opinion, I would say you'd be really stretching things to suit an agenda if you were trying to rank Walcott ahead of Tyson.

    And yes Gaz he was, I was gonna' post his beautiful left-handed K.O of Ezzard, but the above should be of more interest.

    I've never believed it before, but now I genuinely do think that Larry Merchant is drunk on most HBO Broadcasts.

    Though he still is a quality commentator.
     
  7. What is the debate? Walcott and Tyson?

    andre dirrell would have beaten valuev employing the same tactics that david haye used. no way could valuev land a significant shot on dirrell! because andre has the best reflexes in the sport. plus his reach and height isn't that different from hayes. he would be able to land sparing shots to knick the rounds!

    making andre dirrell the heavey weight champion of the world weighing 168lb!

    Probably not..... most people who don't dislike Dirrell are rabid fans who think he's simply unbeatable.

    Shame they go silent when asked why he ran away from Ward, isn't it? :hey

    The ''sucker punch'' from Abraham was a little tap on the face, Barrera's on Marquez was worse. Didn't see him faking a KO to get out of the fight and then taking nearly two years off.

    He's an irrelevance, for me he was forced into boxing and doesn't want to be a fighter at all, to the point where he'd rather be anywhere else in the world than in the ring.

    but he would still beat valuev. did i say i was a rabid fan. you cant argue he has the fastest hands in the 168 division. he has the best reflexes for a man his size.

    all haye did to beat valuev was run and pop him a few times a round. it wasn't a boxing match. it was like kapuera. dirrell is much faster and a much better mover than haye. he would be impossible to hit for valuev.
