Pick a lightheavyweight to see the 4th round against prime Mike Tyson

Went to Tenerife about 40 years ago.Puerto de la Cruz very nice. Also been to Gran Canaria,I suppose they have both changed a lot since those days.Nice for winter sun.

 

40 years ago? Nothing to do with now mate

 

This.

 

I think I drew that conclusion in my post:huh

 

Since the thread is about light heavyweights to last until the 4th with Tyson I don't think a green 175 Holyfield makes it out of the first round against Tyson.

 

holyfield did start as a lhw in the pro's, but i don't know if any lhw could stand with tyson.

interesting to note, though, is that when holyfield and tyson got into that donneybrook at the olympic trials, it was a heavyweight tyson getting a nasty response from a lhw holyfield. tyson bully ways always rubbed holyfield severely the wrong way.

 

There were probably a couple of Lt heavyweights who could have beaten him...who I don't know but probably a couple of them due to Tyson's mental weakness and the relative strength of that division

 

Nobody end of thread,tyson was the nightmare of a lhw, fast enough to catch them and the power to kill them literally

 

Yeah but it is fair to say that Evander was 4 years older than mike,when they met for first time tyson was a 16 years old kid and evander was 20 ,no comparison

 

did you just threaten to smash Oldtimer with a jack handle and then a barstool?

didn't he start out by inviting you down to spar at his gym?

you take that as a threat?

what are you a baby?

plus the guy is tiny for gods sakes?

 

yes I feel the same way, Tyson grew early while Holy was having trouble with Qwai in his earlier days.

Holy sure grew up though :bbb

 

maybe so, regardless, 215lb Tyson beats 175lb Holy imo.

maybe he lasts more than 4, I will give you that.

 

What i trying to say is that tyson was a kid and evander was 20,it is why he had his mental advantage in the amateurs

 

Thank god Foxy decided to forget about it and move on

 

Gregorio Peralta. Went the distance with Lyle, Bonavena, and Foreman. Was only knocked out as a young man. Foreman stopped him on the second go but still took forever.
