Those who worship Tyson on ESB are delusional

  1. I can't stand Tyson, the guy was a ****ing ******* outside of the ring:-( and watching him get beatdown by Douglas, Holyfield, Williams, and Kevin Mcbride of all people was a joy to watch:yep
    The Lennox Lewis beatdown was my alltime favorite>>>:happy

    Yep, one of the most intimidating figures our sport has ever seen, and people have become so eager to tear him down.

    I'm a self confessed Tyson fan . . . but I don't worship any fighter. I like him inside the ring . . . out of the ring . . . who the **** cares.

    He violated the law . . . then the rule of punishment applies.

    I think Tyson is a lot more intelligent than people give him credit for, he had a bad streak, but watch some videos of him that don't just focus on the crazy ****...he has a pretty diverse vocabulary

    As far as unifying the titles in "brutal fashion", to me its all relative, he had an ambitious Don King in his corner

    I'm tired of ignorant morons coming on here who absolutely know nothing about what they are talking about. They got nothing else better to do then to rat on past fighters. Nobody is perfect. Not even you. Mike Tyson has said many times to not feel sorry for him. He admit all his problems outside of the ring were his fault. All Mike Tyson does now is spend all his time doing charitiy fund-raising. If it wasn't for Mike Tyson, boxing would be dead.

    Sorry, I still don't know where you're coming from with Bruno and Biggs.

    But anyway, the reason I asked you if you had seen a prime Tyson fight live is that people who have missed certain fighters fight live don't know the sense of occasion that those fights brought about. It's nobody's fault of course, but something worth keeping in mind.
    The hype, the predictions, the build up to the fight...people see these fights as mere results now, but there is a bigger picture involved here.

    Personally, no heavyweight that I've seen fight since I've been watching boxing has invoked the same drama and sense of occasion that a prime Tyson had.

    co sign.

    ferocity on the ring? unmatched to this day. sure he has squeaky voice for such a large guy. but wait till he climbs the ring. you have seen frank bruno as he made his way to the ring. that guy was nervous as hell. he was really breathing hard as if to control fear.

    there is simply no other figher like him.
