Prime Tyson one of the Greats

General is one up. :hi:

 

Tyson was very good.

I'd rate several heavyweights, including Evander Holyfield, above him though.

 

evander holyfield would have lost to a prime tyson and i believe by a stoppage .
also tyson did much better than holyfield against almost every common opponent they had , and they had quite many of them , except lewis whom fought a quite shot tyson. a prime tyson is my favorite against lewis as well.

 

good

 

Holyfield did much better against Buster Douglas as well as whipping Tyson himself.

You arguing Tyson over Holyfield because he beat Holmes,Stewart and Tillman faster than Evander did is a tenuous one.Holyfield was a different style of fighter to Tyson and didn't destrroy fighters like Mike but in terms of resume,heart and accomplishments Holyfield trumps Tyson imo.

 

you couldnt have noticed the difference in douglas physique between the tyson and holyfield fights he weighed a stone heavier for a start and went down like a sack of **** he didnt try a leg the douglas of the tyson fight would have beaten holyfield in 90 holyfield was not a full blown heavyweight in 90 cooper exposed it cooper was never a full blown heavyweight either:deal

 

Cooper was a substitute and Holyfield went out to blast him out early and nearly paid the price.

He still won though and he easily accounted for far bigger and better fighters in Foreman and Holmes (even if old) around the same time and he went to war with a huge,prime Riddick Bowe in 92 when weighing below 210 pounds himself.

Holyfield would beat any version of Buster who's the very epitome of a one fight wonder imo.

 

.

young griffo douglas was a seriously good fighter but a was also a lazy one everyone knew that i think youve forgotten micheal moorer beat holyfield riddick bowe beat him twice before the tyson fights there were obvious signs in the ist tyson bruno fight that tyson was on the slide due to his reckless lifestyle and lack of dedication evander exposed tyson as a has been nothing more nothing less
