    Tyrell Biggs was 26 and an Olympic gold medalist... the fight was way too soon for Biggs and literally ended him

    Douglas was far better and beat Mike in the following bout, Williams was easy to hit with hooks.

    Compared to Williams yes, he overcommitted to the jab a lot v Mike and eventually got caught,Rooney would have spotted that flaw sooner.

    I don't get what this guy is looking for?

    He asks to name some quality fighters who Tyson fought who were under 30.

    Then he rips everyone who isn't Tony Tucker and Buster Douglas.

    Who cares who did better against Tyson? Did you name your thread wrong?

    Did you mean to name it WHO was better than Tony Tucker?

    Tyson fought a number of quality heavyweights who were under 30. People keep naming them, and you keep saying they aren't quality because Tony Tucker lasted longer against Tyson.

    So what?

    Frank Bruno beat better fighters than Tony Tucker did. He was 27 when he fought Tyson. He the #1 contender of the WBC and WBA. He won the WBC title later.

    He was a quality heavyweight. 40-5 with 38 KOs. And a WBC title. Quality heavyweight.

    I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to accomplish here.

    Bruno was crap.
    He didn't beat better fighters than Tucker did. I think you must be confusing him with someone else.
