Know your fellow poster

I did enjoy Holy v Rahman

 

Not at all. There's plenty out there that he beats IMO. I just named ones who I thought would beat him.

 

Given the shitty last half dozen years of Tyson's career, his image is totally twisted. Other than Foreman and Liston, I cant think of another who had an air of invincibility at the 'height' of his career.... even though the 'height' was called prematurely.

 

While I don't necessarily disagree with you, he has nobody to blame but himself.

He was on the verge of greatness and completely ruined it.

 

The best thing to come out it all.... these same arguements will still rage in 100 years from today.

 

Absolutely!!!

 

Marci****ingano .

 

As I was reading through the main forum I found this quote


"In all sports, people love the flawed genius.

Tyson is the ultimate flawed genius.

He's a one off character, so many funny stories, quotes, moments. And he beat the **** out of people, which appeals to men, we are all impressed by a genuine borderline psycho hardman."

I think this sums up Tyson

I got into boxing because of Tyson on ODH late 80s early 90s so I always got a soft spot for him

 

The other thing I loved about Tyson was that he had 13 or 14 fights per year including is first world title.

Ok most of his first 26 fights had kos in the first few rounds but still you dont see that in boxing anymore....26 fights in 2 years that is

 

Anybody been to 1770 on the QLD coast?

I have been here for the last week taking in the sun, sand, beach...most northen surf beach...and all that goes with that...lots of backpackers.

Sitting on the deck drinking beerz and doing the BBQ listening to the waves on the beach......arrrr peace.....nice place to relax.
