    Prime Tyson existed for what, a year or two? It's funny how people assume Tyson was only in his prime for that short period because it suits their world view that he was some indestructible unbeatable champion.

    Prime Lennox lasted 10 years.
    Prime Vitali has lasted 10 years
    Prime Wladimir has been around 7 years and indication is he'll last 10 years.

    We haven't seen prime Helenius, or prime Mitchell, or prime Solis, or prime Pulev, or prime Fury - they've not been around long enough. Let them cut their teeth, let them have a few championship fights, then judge their "prime"

    Every guy Tua fought was taller than him so yeah he would do fine against taller fighters.
    There are plenty HW contenders who are 6'2" and under and 225 and under who are doing well. Dimitrenko was only the first of the talntless giants to be exposed. Helenius was beaten up by the 6'1" Chisora.
    Haye beat Valuev. Adamek beat Grant and McBride. Size has nothing to do with it. It's called skill. The better fighter wins,not the bigger fighter. That's my point. Smaller guys can still be very good as long as they have the skill.
    It's a weight division,not a height division. There are some guys who are very tall and some who are just tall. The only thing that is bigger is weight. More guys are fat and out of shape than ever before. The height is around the same as always. 6'1-6'3 is average. We have guys like Andy Ruiz fighting at 292 pounds but is only 6'2"

    But anyway,you're the expert on it. I guess they teach you a lot over at the yacht club huh? Now get back to Wall Street and go steal some more money ya blonde haired snobby douche!

    Tyson's prime was 1986-1990. More than a a year or 2 by my count.


    Lewis had a prime from about 1995-2003 and it that time he fought a bunch of old shot washed up fighters and drug addicts all the while avoiding Riddick Bowe. He also was knocked cold twice in his prime by c level bums.
    Lewis avoided the McCall rematch until Mccall was old and on drugs and he needed 8 rounds to beat the drug addicted alcoholic corpse of Mike Tyson.

    Vitali Klitschko's prime started after he couldn't beat old fat Lewis. His prime was not 10 years It was more like 2003-2004 then a retirement.
    It's debatable if he was still prime when he came back but it certainly wasn't 10 years.

    Wladimir's prime coincidentally happened in the weakest division ever and it again is more like 8 years instead of 10. 2004 until now. Unless you think his prime started earlier. If you think Wlad was prime before 2004,then you would have to admit that he was not green when knocked cold by Lamon Brewster but rather in his prime.

    I see, so you're one of those delusional ****ing ******s who thinks out of a career stretching from 1985 to 2005 - Tyson had 38 months (Trevor Berbick through to Buster Douglas) of "Prime" and subsequent results were due to him not being prime anymore, rather than just being over-hyped during that time period and not having faced any legitimate contenders.

    But in the same process, when Wlad has more wins over Top 10 Ring Ranked HW's than any other HW except Ali, has not lost for the best part of a decade and in that time has beaten 7 fighters who were Top 3 Ring Ranked at the time, as well as four of them being undefeated - that's not a prime?

    "The HW division is at it's worst ever" - why? Because we have a dominant champion who absolutely destroys any legitimate challengers? Outside of Tyson in the mid 80s and early 90s, who was there? Outside of Holyfield and Lennox in the early 00s, who was there?

    When Jennings dares to take on one of the bigger boys (not even Klitschko) - watch him get shut out. He's a midget compared to the HW ranks. I also love your selective memory of Vitali vs Lewis - the fact that Lewis was gassed, being beaten from pillar to post and with the exception of a cut on Vitali, was being beaten by a guy who had late notice to fight him and has ever since been dominant in the division?

    You know some fighters lose during their prime, right? i.e Lennox Lewis, i.e Mohammad Ali, i.e Manny Pacquaio.

    Tyson's prime was 1986-1990. A little over 3 years.

    The HW division today is at it's worst which is why a scared glass chinned coward (Wlad) and an arm punching steroid using quitter (Vitali) could be so dominant. Wlad beats up the Mormecks of the world and Vitali beats such great fighters as Albert Sosnoswki or 40 year old Shannon Briggs. If Lewis,Holyfield,Bowe and Tyson were around and in their prime,the Klitschko sisters wouldn't be ****. In fact,the division was so bad in the post Lewis era that, a fat seven foot giant with zero skill could be a champion!
    Historically speaking the Klitschko brothers aren't anything special. Their only claim to fame is being champions in a shitty post Lewis,post Tyson,post Holyfield era. In 2 years time the Klitschko brothers will be gone and there will be new champions who are actually fun to watch. No one wants to see a giant man jab and clinch like a little ***** all day.
    Whenever you wanna get schooled again,just let me know.

    *And the name is MUHAMMAD ALI not "MOHAMMAD" you clueless pretty boy and no Ali never lost in his prime unlike the Klitschko sisters. Never compare Wlad Klitschko to an iron chinned warrior like Ali. Ali beat Foreman,Frazier,Patterson,Liston,Norton etc

    Sure, the division was so much better when John Ruiz was a champ, you're just exposing yourself as a bitter c.unt.
