If you had to choose. Would you rather watch Prime Tyson/Floyd or Manny?

    Tysons Prime was him vs Bums....and his prime was 2-3 years... Mayweathers Prime has spanned an entire decade vs much better opposition.

    Tyson knocking out bums is exciting? Whats more exciting than that is Tyson getting knocked out over and over ..

    How? He was fighting nobodies during his 2-3 year prime....

    Ali's PRIME was exciting, because it lasted longer and he fought top quality guys....Tyson isnt the first guy to knock out bums over & over so why is it so exciting when he does it?

    Iron Mike, then Pacman. Mayweather? Not so much.

    Pac did Great things, Mayweather just talked ****, hyped fights, and fought much lesser men. Prime DLH was much more exciting than Mayweather too, I remember when.

    Maybe they were much lesser because Mayweather is much greater? Not something that crossed your mind? Every fighter and trainer praises Mayweathers accomplishments and skills yet people on boxing forums think he has tip toed through the ranks from 130-154?

    Tyson is the most exciting fighter ever, imo. Pacquiao is one of the most exciting little fighters ever.

    I love watching KO's and prime Tyson will give you those in a vicious fashion, but I find something almost hypnotic about watching the technical brilliance of Floyd.

    Tyson had Floyd's ring IQ and defense with Manny's explosive offense. Hands down Tyson.
