So Tyson has always had trouble with big fighters?

He had problems with big fighters who clinched a lot, but he still won every round against those guys.

Holyfield didn't have an iron jaw. atsch

 

As great as Lennox Lewis was,Tyson fought him post prime. As did McBride and Danny Williams. Tyson was just fighting for money. So he only lost to Douglas in his prime and it wasn't because Douglas was a big dude,it was because Douglas was better on that particular night. Agree?

 

Taller fighters did give him trouble, Green, Smith, Tucker, he couldn't get to them. And then Douglas worked the jab in his face all night. A fast accurate jab on a mobile enough big man had him stumped.

 

Evander Holyfield had a very good jaw don't you think?
Fought the still able Foreman,Tyson 2 times,Lewis 2 times and was never pt down.
He fought Bowe 3 times and only went down I think once right?

Fought that big Valuev guy and didn't go down at age 46. Pretty good jaw wouldn't you agree? And you certainly have to give props for his recuperating ability and heart.

 

Tyson had problems with opponents who could back him up, force him to go backwards.

 

Green didn't give him trouble. Green didn't want to trade and fought defensively. Tyson won about every round If I recall. And Tony Tucker lost most every round and only landed one good punch in that fight.
Just because he didn't KO his opponent, doesn't necessarily mean he had trouble with them, agree?

 

Tyson never had problems with his height or their height but they had problems with his height and style.

 

To me only the prime era is important. In his prime (Rooney era) Tyson beat everybody .I don't know only one close Tyson fight
against tall fighters from this era.
(For example Tyson beat the 6'5" Tucker,6'4"Smith,6'5" Biggs,6'6" Ribalta,6'5" Green easily) The best performance was the prime reigning champion Tuckers' againstTyson he won maybe 2 rounds/12.
Great... This 2 rounds prove Tyson was **** against the tall guys in
the haters' dreamworld.

 

The way to beat Tyson was to fight a great fight Douglas, Holyfield, and Lewis all did that.
