    I didn't say I favoured them. I said Berbick was inferior to them both, which unless you are a clueless casual he was. Sorry kid, not my fault you can't read or comprehend basic English. And Mike was NOT prime in 86, unless you are a causal (you). 88 was tinkerbell Mike's best year. If you think Mike in 86 walks through Wilder and Joshua like he did Berbick you are a clown in MY OPINION, but you are of course entitled to your own casual opinion, however stupid. Capiche now, kiddo?

    I didn’t say you favoured them, simpleton. I said you claimed It was being a fool to favour 86 Tyson over Wilder and Joshua, which is exactly what you did. Talk about reading comprehensions. And Tyson was most definetly in his prime from 86 to 88, but he peaked at 88. You’re just too moronic and have too little understanding of the game to tell the difference between peak and prime.

    Cant see it. On the other hand I believe Foremans record as the oldest can be beaten. You can stay in shape well into your 50s. Guys careers are lasting longer due to sports science,its conceivable however improbable someone like Vlad or Vitali could.

    Fighters don’t have so many bouts nowadays. I’d say it would depend on once the belts get fragmented again and if this boxer was a great prospect would they forgo the Olympics to get to climbing the ranks right away? They would have to cut a mean promo or have a legendary boxer in the corner to get the causals getting PPV in their droves for a Parker Chisora Takam bout

    Within the realm of reality. Playing tennis on Mercury compared to someone winning the title younger than Tyson is a little different.

    This is was about you or someone coming along is history? It is possible if their career is started early. With all the titles out there, why not?

    It is ok. I get it, I meant nothing is impossible in the realm of possibility. Time travel is probably not possible. Things like that.

    Because they`d need the skills D`Amato taught Tyson from the age of 12.

    Someday a Zion Williamson is going to choose the ring over the court and he will break the record.

    There were 3 records in the 1980s which are imo almost impossible to break, 1 in Boxing, 2 in Tennis:

    Boxing:
    1985 -> Tyson HW champ, 20 years almost 5 months old.

    Tennis:
    1985 -> Boris Becker wins Wimbledon at the age of 17 years, 7 months and about 3 weeks.
    1989 -> Michael Chang wins the French Open at the age of 17 years, 3 months and about 2 weeks.


    Even guys like Ali and others were 22, Patterson 21, but they didnt make it at 20.

    And guys like Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, and todays Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic, they all were very talented, but nobody was 17. Nadal won his first French Open title 2 days after his 19th birthday, Federer was 4 weeks from his 22 birthday away as he won his first Wimbledon title.


    Some records are very unlikely to break, i would say these 3 are among them.

    Not really.. Tyson needed them to have the fights he had, but with guys who fight now. Someone could get lucky. I don't think Ruiz was really that good.
