Name a heavyweight boxer that could stand up to Foreman and Tyson's early onslaught.

I liked Peter aside from his propensity to foul.

 

Tyson only fought bums who were over matched or just don king contenders..unlike the Klits!

 

Sonny Liston . Guys chin was Cast iron .

 

Jack Johnson would beat both.

 

Who did 'Prime' Tyson ever beat? 38 year old Holmes or Spinks? :huh

Those are his two best wins of his 'Prime' which is conveniently only 3 years according to his fans.

 

Go look at Holmes resume and see how well he did after.. That win alone is double,triple better then anything Klitschkos can claim.

 

Ali and Bowe

 

IMO Tyson's prime was from 87-91 or 92. He had a short prime. Wlad and Vitali would have jabbed and combinationed Tyson into KO or submission. Tyson could not deal with boxer punchers with a jab. Biggs was making him look foolish for the first round while he stuck to the jabbing game plan. Tilles as well. Tyson did not fight well when his opponent stood up to him.

 

Tyson relied too heavily on intimidation. If he couldn't do intimidate against a skilled fighter he was in big trouble.

 

Dino Bravo, it's how Vitali beat everyone and who did Tyson beat that you are so confident in him?

 

SP Mauler, Tyson would need a pole vault and a running start to reach either Klit. His reach was 71. Peter lunged badly and barely reached Klit. Tyson would have looked even worse.

 

Tyson looked foolish when he stepped up. Why do you think his promoters matched him carefully after Tilles boxed his ears off.

 

Rico said it best.

 

Sam Langford would have done well against both and KOed Tyson. Jack Johnson would have been obliterated by Foreman.

 

SP Mauler: Tilles made Tyson look foolish, Peralta made Tyson loo ordinary for a large portion of the fight, Buster used lateral movement and tripled up the jab to make Tyson look bad. The Klits would have really hurt Mike who was 220lbs at his best and way too small and weak to beat a Klit lets face it.
