If a young Mike Tyson burst into Boxing in the late 60s when Ali was retired?

I think Foreman 1970-'73 would have crushed Tyson.

 

I grow tired of people making excuses for Tyson. Now he was only an up and comer in 1986, but was past his best in 1990. Yet hey we have to hear how great he was. Ok when the freak was his prime. 1988-1989? Give me a break.

Let me break it down for you boys, Tyson is greatly overrated. When he was young he was very good at destroying overmatched opponents. Problem was when he got in there against a good fighter who fought back, it was canvas time. Everytime he fought a war he was koed. Tired of worrying about who is manager was, thats bull****.

If he was around in the late 60s/early 70s, he would get destroyed by Ali, koed with a doubt.

He would lose to a prime Frazier because Frazier can fight a war amd Tyson can't. Foreman would lift him off his feet and ko him in 5. Holmes would jab him to death, and being a tough fight Tyson woud lie on the canvas. Then they might have a rematch but Tyson would bite him when it was obvious that Holmes was once again too much.

Tyson would clean up on the opponents who were slow and scared of him, because thats what Tyson did.

 

Hang on, are you talking about P R I M E Tyson here? Because everyone knows prime Tyson was a different beast.

I say Prime Tyson in the 60s beats Armstrong to the moon. Catches the bullet meant for Malcolm X in his teeth. Kills John Wayne in a gun fight. Invents the Internet. Beats Obama to the White House...

You need to take a look at youtube and see what a P R I M E and P E A K Tyson was capable of.
