    “I think the ­heavyweight scene is pretty good right now,” Tyson says.

    “The Klitschkos are doing great. They are beating everyone. It’s not their fault that there is not enough competition.

    “What David Haye did in Munich when he had that brawl with Chisora, that was not good. That was the kind of stupid stuff I once did.
    “I thought that when I was watching it. No one did as much as me to bring boxing low.
    “Haye and Chisora would have had to go some to beat what I did. At least Haye didn’t bite anyone’s ear off. They've got to do a bit more to get down to the level I was at. What they did was nothing.

    “But I don’t buy the idea that today’s fighters are not as good as the old fighters. If you had asked Joe Frazier if he could beat me when I was at my best, he would have said ‘hell, yes’. That’s the way boxing goes.

    “I think I could beat the next generation of fighters but the reality of history is that the fighters get better and better, bigger and bigger and stronger and stronger.

    “I was bigger than Rocky Marciano and I was not even one of the big guys in my generation.”

    he seems to have been humbled somewhat and admits his faults.

    **sigh**

    I usually ignore your nonsense as even this self-amusing act of yours has long since grown tedious. But posting photos which demean challenged children is a new all time low for even a low life sack such as yourself.

    Good day sir.

    after insulting you and exposing you for who you really are, I expected a response like this:

    " xpert post M8"

    I think that the current heavyweight division is strong down to the top two fighters.

    When they retire, which might not be too far away, it will be in a dire state.

    Then Tyson will have to remind us how Helenius & Fury are bigger, better & stronger than all previous champions. :lol:

    I agree with his statements. As usual, Tyson is a very astute observer of the sport.

    I have to back you up on this one.

    It is disgraceful that children with learning difficulties are being ridiculed like this.

    A bit of compassion costs nothing!
