    Yes because in your world, beating a fighter not far from retirement is a great achievement.

    Probably what you model yourself after.

    Prime or not Tyson hit Williams with his best shots and couldn't put him away, you know the saying. A fighters power is the last thing to go, after that performance Williams would have beat Tyson at any point in his career.

    In that case, i dont think you watched the fight properly (or even at all).

    Tyson nearly knocked Williams out in the first round with a left hook and uppercut, but because he was TOO OLD to follow through, Williams survived.

    So yes power is the last thing to go but knocking someone out isnt just based on power

    Tyson nearly KOD Williams in the first round, Vitali took 8. Thats the difference.

    Fighters have nearly been knocked out many of time but have survived, I watched the fight live thanks. Vitali fights completely different to Tyson that's why.

    :rofl

    Even Williams himself doesnt believe that.

    He commented afterwards saying 'This wasnt a peak Mike Tyson, this was a Tyson whose 36 years old'

    No he didnt say Vitali hit harder, someone posted the interview on this very forum.

    Williams said they were two different types of punchers.

    Once again, another lie by Wuss1985

    That's what a gracious fighter says after a fight, they're not all classless thugs you know.

    Amditting a guy is old and would beat you when he was younger is not just 'being nice'. Williams knew what he was talking about, unlike you.

    Just like Tyson said the exact same words about Larry Holmes, do you agree with Tyson on that matter too?
