    Remember, read the Question!!!

    The results thus far are posted here

    *If you vote for anything with an * in, then your vote will not count as you are not answering the question properly.

    You do not win a LPR fight by KO, you win when your opponent fails to come up to scratch and toe the line...

    And clearly as they are fights to the finish, you do not win a LPR fight on points!!!

    An interesting question is, how many white fighters did Tyson actually fight?

    Difficult to give one fighter an edge over the other.

    I guess that in a war of atrition that comes down to the last man standing, Dempsey might be slightly better placed mentaly and physiologicaly to tough it out.

    Not a confident pick though.

    Likely more than the amount of black fighters Dempsey fought!

    Judging by the poll, this must be the mythical Toledo Dempsey! :lol:

    Tyson all day.

    I use Frazier Vs Foreman as an example. Big strong man beats small strong man

    People question Tysons heart? this fight wouldnt even go that long, Tyson and early.

    Tyson fought 2 men smaller than him, he knocked them both out in the 1st round. (Spinks, Norris)

    And yet your obvious passion towards Tyson, still did not help him in this tournament, as your vote will not count, because you did not read the question!!!
