    Can you read idiot? I clearly typed into the post box it was meangingless looking back. Ali Holmes was a massive fight. Should that of happened?

    Vitlai was better than all the fighters on Tyson's record? You stupid clown. You know nothing. Vitali beat nobody of worth. Nobody. Spinks and old Holmes would of clowned Vitali.

    I'm not interested in exchanging insults.

    but why use hindsight to rewrite history, at the time everyone wanted the fight and everyone got the fight. It was a huge event and a huge success.

    I didn't live through Ali-Holmes so I'm not sure how hyped it was at the time but I have read reports that Ali already had parkinsons. I'd have to defer to someone who lived through that fight.

    Being a huge succes has nothing to do what happened in the ring and lesser bearing on how far Mike had passed as a fighter. You dont seem you understand that simple premise.

    This is your posting on Mike- "during his prime he never did beat a great fighter even close to his prime" ....Now what great did Lewis beat who was in his prime?

    vitali klitschko, i told you it 3 times. VITALI KLITSCHKO WAS IN HIS PEAK WHEN HE LOST BY CUTS AGAINST A PAST PRIME LEWIS, 2003 VITALI WAS A BETTER HW THAN SPINKS AND A SHOT 88 HOLMES, AND LEWIS DID BEAT EVERY FIGHTER THAT HE FACED, TYSON NOT, PERIOD. go to watch tennis

    I'm not for one second suggesting mike was in his prime. I am saying it is a fight that absolutely had to happen and most following boxing at the time would tell you the same.

    You fail to answer the question for the 3rd time so failure on your part is the only conclusion that can be drawn up here...And claiming Vitali beats anybody based off a loss would qualify you not worthy to watch any sport , not even tennis....Spinks was a ring master , far more tactical and elusive than Byrd was and would most likely box rings around Vitali.

    tyson is the most overated champion i have ever heard of, the amount of excuses people make about tyson is unbelievable, tyson is never in his prime when he loses.

    but what about other boxers, when we make same excuses, tyson fans done accept this.

    further tyson was limited in style meaning he could not adapt to the situation, when someone pushed back wasn't scared, tyson flopped, broke into pieces this is the truth.
    His style was always come forward if he couldn't do that he was doomed.

    hell , i ****ing agree with this part 100%, and according to the Tyson fans , every rival that Tyson did beat was in his peak when he faced Tyson and all them were very good or great fighters , and just Tyson could have destroyed them, lmao, tommy morrison destroyed ruddock in a more brutal fashion than Tyson ever did, and according the Tyson fans, ruddock was shot when he faced morrison , Tyson was past his prime against Douglas because he was not with rooney, then he was good again against ruddock, (he was not with rooney, but he was better now because he won the fight)

    The relic of Mike Tyson did better against Lewis than the VERY best verison of Vitali.....That Tyson wasn't even trying to win but Vitali drew upon everything he had and was desperate to get the win but was just nowhere near skillled enough to come close.
