    He never made 175 in his professional life in the real world. He could have had his first 10 fights at 175 and i still wouldn't find him fitting TBF.

    Tyson wouldn't win a round. You've won the boxing internet today.

    you dorks never give analysis only assertions, this is that cracker jack ,Espn Brian kenny style commentary no analysis just opinion without any education behind it. Who fights like Tunney that Tyson has fought , specfically the stuff I mentioned?

    He's one of the very few I'd give a chance to last some time at least. It's certainly one of the better options.

    This is ridiculous, Tyson is perfect to stop O'Brien early. Jack struggled with pressure fighters and was almost knocked out by 45 years old Fitzsimmons.

    and tyson let a bum like james tillis go 10 rounds with him , philadelpia Jack O brien was also able to fight a peak Jack johnson the premier heavy i at the time to a draw, despite being outweighed by 44 pounds its not absurd to think he can beat tyson (I am making my assessment based on whats on film with both fighters!)

    Nobody that weighs 168 or so is going to beat Tyson. This is ridiculous.

    Conn gets so much mileage out of that Louis fight its silly.

    Conn is a great at MW and LHW.

    Not possible for O'Brien or Conn or Greb or fill in the blank or whatever natural MW you put in there from antiquity to beat a peak Tyson.

    Anyone making a claim they could beat him is either pushing some agenda or plain ignorant or trolling.


    This conversation would make more sense if the question was "Which LHW lasts longest with Tyson?"

    Conn's only fights at middleweight were when he was a teenager.

    You should watch fighters back then more carefully instead of use hyperbole and espn boxing commentator commentary

    tysons inside slip lead hook to that tomato can opponent who jabs and doesnt step in

    Tyson would not get this shot off against philadelphia Jack O brien



    https://makeagif.com/i/Eh6J0O


    here is tommy burns outside slipping and countering philly O briens jab ,he doesnt bend as much as tyson but same concept (his hook will come out quicker than tysons since its a simultaneous motion. Philly steps in with the jab and smothers that counter shot and it leads to a clinch. Tyson would not have an idea what to do in the clinch ,Philly does!

    I have watched just as much as anyone else. I dont go by what anyone says explicitly. Don't insult me.

    O'Brien would be manhandled in a clinch with Tyson. He would also be blasted into a short hospital stay following the hooks and uppercuts.

    Sure pal, I told another guy he watches the older fighters like girlfriends who never seen football watch football you are another one of those dudes. How well did Tyson do in the clinch when he was jab and clinched by Tony tucker, and bare in mind Tony Tucker isnt solid on that style like O'brien, Tunney, Loughran, Conn etc.

    You have been disqualified from any more discussion with me. Either you're trolling or you're an imbicile. In either case I'm not interested in reading your words.
