Before every starts claiming Tyson could beat any contender with a pulse, take a look at Mercers style and tell me he wouldnt a nightmare for Mike! I think Tyson would edge it, but if he is bullied out of it ala Douglas I would not be surprised!
Yea WHAT THE **** IS UP WITH ALL OF THESE PRIME TYSON VS ??? THREADS!!! NEWSFLASH- Tyson wasn't even the best or most exciting fighter of his generation 80's 90's that would be Lennox or Evander both of whom stomped him twice!!hi:
STFU ****** Tyson who fought evander was past it , not long out of prison , but was still a good fighter Tyson who got ktfo against lewis was a bum fightin for money Prime tyson was the tyson who was under kevin rooney up until the spinks fight People only seem to remember the bum tyson of the last 4 -5 years
Yeah of course LL was the best fighter of the 80`s.Even though he turned pro in 1989 fought in relative anonymity in Britain and naturally had fought no one of any note. By the time Evander made his debut in the heavy division in 1988 Tyson was the unfied champ of the WBC WBA and IBF and the linear undisputed heavyweight champ of the world. But you keep on swimming son that dream pools mighty deep.
GO **** YOURSELF:devilTyson in his prime was also KTFO by a 42-1 underdog:deal and bitched his way out of the 2nd fight with Holy because he knew he couldn't win:deal Tyson ducked Lennox in the mid 90's because he knew he would have taken a severe ass whuppin... All of you Tyson nut huggers need to realize were not in 1987 anymore.. *******..
That Ray Mercer was a very tough man to overwealm. Lewis had a whole bunch of trouble containing Ray, as anyone would at that time. Tyson would have brought the best out in Ray, he scared a lot of fighters shitless and that would have motivated Sargeant Mercer into being as iron willed as ever.. Mike would have been given a similar fight as he did with Ruddock the first time a stubborn affair with Mike and Ray boxing to a stalemate before Mike loses the chance to complete a consise job. by an overprotective referee.
You mean like the way Mccall put LL lights out with one punch.Or like when Rahman put LL to sleep with one punch. Or when Evander got KO`ed by Bowe in the rematch and lost in there 1st bout, or when he struggled with an OLD Larry Holmes that Tyson KO`ed 5 years previously in 4. Seriously give it a rest.Your age is becoming apparent from your hollow posts.
This would have been a close fight.Both had tremendous chins and both could bang.Mike was more polished than Mercer and more than likely would have won a close UD fairly similar to Ruddock Tyson 2 after absorbing and giving some bombs.
Yea Lewis avenged both of his losses:deal Evander whipped Tyson twice so where do you wanna go with that? did Tyson avenge his loss to Douglas at least Evander tried to win against Bowe, and didn't DQ himsel, or look for a way out! I wish a prime Bowe would have fought Tyson because he would have whipped him too, but the dumbass went to prison for ****.. If anyone is posting hollow here it's you!!
You still havent written a subjective post yet.This is the wrong forum for you.Sherdog is the other way.
