prime mike tyson (kevin rooney days etc)

He was the most sensational heavyweight ever.

That's not near the same thing as TBE.

 

well aside form not evenging his losses, he took viscious beating in those losses. you can expect a man to get off tge canvas after taking punishment for several rds. tyson had a great chin but in his losses, he got hit alot because of that agressive style of fighting

 

really, its hard to judge how great tyson was in his prime because it was too short. his very best was with rooney but once he left rooney, he became a headhunter who focused too much on getting early knockouts. prime tyson gives any heavyweight hell, but overall, he dosent rank as high as he could have due to inconsistency. there was no reason for him to lose to douglas

 

I think he had the talent to be the greatest but his personal demons derailed him.

 

Ali would have Never lost to tyson, tyson would get beat up and stopped late. foreman would hav crushed mike even in his second career

 

i like mike but i think his character and demeanour get him alot more ratings than his actual fighting prime which wasnt very long.
