There is only so much disrespect a man can take. Floyd pushed it too far. With all that, who the **** is Ricky Hatton, he's nothing but a dwarf ******, etc. There is a difference between saying, I think I'm going to win because I'm the better fighter and just completely disrespecting your opponent. Floyd's ***** ass is just gonna run anyway. And as I could see at the press conference, there is NO FEAR in RICKY'S eyes. He will PUNISH FLOYD. He is prepared to go to war and DIE! That's more than I could ever say about Floyd. What topped it off for me is the Tyson remark though. Ya'll Floyd suckers are dissing Tyson now? TYSON????? Tyson was a REAL FIGHTER. He might have talked, but he WALKED. He came there to FIGHT! He didn't come there to run! Floyd talkin all that **** against Oscar, yet did nothing but run and hide in the corner. But ya'll that disrespect Tyson are pathetic. Ya'll aren't even fight fans. Boxing is better off without Floyd. I don't even really give a **** about Hatton. I don't like his style either. ****, he was even holding against Castillo a little too much before he got to him, but I think he's gonna **** Floyd up. You don't disprespect people that hard and not expect them to wanna kill your ass. *In the ring.
I agree with ya buddy, anyone who dismisses Tyson as a fighter is not a fan of boxing. In his prime the guy was something else, he truly transcended the sport.
Tyson was a fighter, but as soon as he faced decent competition he got his ass knocked out. Bowe, Holyfield, Lewis all destroyed him. He only had one gear, much like Hatton, coming forward. He became one dimensional as his career dragged on. Compared to Floyd on a scientific level he was nowhere close. thats why Floyd will continue to win even when facing someone who can out athletic him.
When you think about the sport of boxing. The average person will think about Mike Tyson long before they even think about Floyd Mayweather. Thats just how it goes. I'm not dissing Floyd here but Mike Tyson was special for the sport, much moreso than Floyd Mayweather could ever be. The excitement value that Tyson brought to boxing is something almost unbeatable.
Man............what? Go slap yourself.atsch Not only did Tyson have the fastest 5 punch combination ever for a heavyweight, **** he was as fast as LIGHTWEIGHTS. Just the fact he threw 5 punch combinations was ASTONISHING! BUT He came in with a killer jab, head movement like a mother ****er, and a relentlessness that no one could match. And he had about the fastest first step I've ever seen. Floyd RUNS. Tyson FIGHTS. That's the difference between the two. NOBODY is afraid of FLOYD! And Lewis was scared of Tyson because they knew eachother back in the amateurs. Lewis didn't go anywhere near Tyson when Tyson was in his prime. Why not? And Tyson never fought mother ****in Bowe.
True. The tyson hype machine was unreal, never before was such an average heavyweight champion propelled to legend status for beating bums. ESPN had him ranled 50th though alltime. Thats how far his legacy has fallin in the eyes of boxing experts.
Slap yourself atsch Did you just start watching boxing, because it's obvious that you have no ****in idea what the **** you're talkin about. First off you said, Tyson got beat by Bowe, and second, you say that he was AVERAGE????? Slap yourself again. atsch
Lmao, you are a funny dude. If you watched Tysons later fights, he wasnt throwing those 5 punch combos, utilizing head movement and dominating with his jab. He became average and he was picked apart. He was prematurely named great, he was ok. Holyfield and Lewis were better in my mind.
It is a shame that Edwin Valero couldn't start his career off the way he did here in the USA..He would have been a crossover star already IMO.
i used to think tyson was one dimensional. but then i watched the man box,and **** the man's movement was astonishing the sheer speed of him in his prime was scary,his head movement was so confusin and his punch power was jsut bloody scary. who would any true boxer rather be in the ring with?a tyson who you know your gona get real hurt a few times,or a pbf who you know is rarely gona hurt you! to disrespect tyson is to disrespect boxing as a whole,just because the man had personal problems doesnt make him any less of absolute boxing machine!
You know who I meant. Douglas. Same bum different name lol. I was thinking of a one hit wonder and I dont know why Bowe came to mind, oh wait...
