    Tyson was the undisputed HW champion, he couldn´t archive more, because he wasn´t better. Against fighters like Lewis, Bowe, Holyfield, etc. he would have lost everytime, whether in 86 during his prime or later in his career... (don´t come now with the excusses because his trainer and mentor died, ****ed up lifestyle, etc.)

    OK, in this fight he surely wasn´t in top shape, but like I wrote, he was the Undisputed HW champion, what else should he have archived? He reached his maximum IMO...

    A bit hyperbolical for my taste, who said he would be the next Whitaker? But I agree, he could have archived/ archive more than he has until now...

    Well, you're a Tyson hater, so I guess I should expect you to say something like that. He was way past in after he came out of jail. Definetely not even close to what he was in his prime, surely IMO he would have beaten Lewis and maybe even Holyfield during his peak years.

    You´re really silly. I grow up watching Bowe and Tyson, they were my first fighters I watched live on TV, Mike was one of my favourite fighters (I was a kid, and he was the bad-boy, something children always like). But now, as a grown up man, I can make a opinion without being biased (in contrast to you for example), I only said that he couldn´t archive more (as if the HW- king wasn´t enough :nut )...

    pure speculation and opinion luigi.it is a fact that when he beat spinks he was only 23 year old and i defy anyone who was around at the time at that point to say they didn't think he would go on to be one of say the best 5 heavies ever.his tools did diminish after this and it is a fact that it was down to lifestyle and out of the ring problems,it's all well documented.who's to say what he would have become if he'd stayed on the straight and narrow,most fighters at 23 year old especially heavies improve.i generally think the man is these days generally underrated.
