Is Tyson really susceptible to the traditional boxer?

    What's your proof Holyfield was on drugs?

    By the looks of things I've got more knowledge on my ball sack than you have in your entire body.

    To say Holyfield moved up to heavyweight just because of Mike Tyson is beyond comical. And to further go on to say he based all his training on facing Tyson is enough to send you on the window licking bus......

    I disagree. Prison saved Holyfield and Foreman from Tyson and advanced their careers. Even Lennox Lewis's career prospered. Tyson goes to prison and all of a sudden guys like Michael Moorer, old George Foreman, Bruce Seldon, Oliver McCall, Frank Bruno and Frans Botha become champions. The whole heavyweight division prospered because Mike Tyson went to jail.

    You're forgetting one little insignificant thing.....

    Mike Tyson had already been KTFO, prison saved Tyson from some proper drubbings.......

    Huge muscle mass weight gain, balding, inconsistent performances, a hole in his heart, retiring until Benny Hinn "heals" the holy heart, 18 children out of wedlock...

    From sucking your own dick?

    A good portion of why he went to heavyweight, Holyroid was definitely chasing Tyson.

    Douglas was a one off fluke. Douglas knew this, Tyson knew this, so give Tyson a rematch to prove it wasn't. Like Louis lost to Schmeling, Tyson's loss to Douglas brought on a blitzing of Alex Stewart and 2 dismantlings of the much avoided Razor Ruddock. Tyson was on his way to regaining the title from Holyfield.

    Holyfield knew this and defended against an easier opponent in Foreman, then went for a rematch with Foreman before Tyson finally told Don King that enough is enough and would've ended Holyfield's career until a cracked rib occurred after his 5,000th sit up of the day. Holyfield got lucky.

    It was far from a fluke, Douglas battered him up and down the ring from the opening bell. Those dismantlings of Ruddock finished Tyson in his own words. Prison merely delayed the beating Holyfield was going to give him.

    Prison delayed the beating Holyfield would've gotten from Tyson, yes. Holyfield and the entire division was lucky Tyson spent 3 years in the clink. Or else Holyfield, Foreman, Moorer and Lewis wouldn't have had careers. They can thank Mike for letting them win the titles. Quite the humanitarian Mike was...still is....

    Tyson was a twisted experiment for the dying Cus and his team. A scientific experiment to break the record of being the youngest heavyweight champion of all time. I bet they pumped more chemicals in him than an oil spill.....

    A scientific experiment that got Dr. Cus Von Frankenstein the blue ribbon at the world's science fair.

    And those years of steroid abuse likely messed up Tyson psychologically which in turn led to his **** charge, ear biting, drug abuse, assaults......

    Did he ever get caught using the name Mik Tyso though? Because that's clearly not Mike Tyson, that's Mik Tyso!

    Only an idiot would do that, right? Only an idiot would use a synonym or shortened version of their name.
