    Bull****. You'd have had a much stronger case if you'd mentioned Williams or Thomas.

    Tyson fought a absolute prime Ruddock who put himself on the map with devastating KO wins over Smith and Dokes.... he almost killed Dokes who was never known to have a bad chin........The Duke fought Ruddock almost a half a decade later who besides the two Tyson beatings was iced by Lemmie and was inactive beyond inactive, he won like one (?) fight in between Tyson and Lewis..............anyway he was done. and unranked to the best of my recollection.........he was actually eventually to fight VK but tested positive for Hepatitis and Byrd got the nod on a couple of weeks notice.

    Thomas was totally shot when facing Morrison on USA's Tuesday night fights......and quit on his stool after the first round

    Disagree.

    Thomas went 13-0 (10 kos ) and no losses AFTER losing to Morrison and won two minor belts (IBO and WBF). He lost one more time then called it quits.

    Sure he wasnt fighting a murderers row of elite high ranked killers, but a "totally shot" fighter doesnt go 13-1 and wins belts, knocking out the majority of his opponents.

    You do note that among that murderer's row only one of Pinky's victims had won his previous fight and all but 3 had losing records in total. His best win was the great Craig Payne. Perhaps you don't remember him but I do. It's a lineup that would make Brian Neilson blush.

    Look, there were those that were saying Thomas was shot before TYSON fought him. He certainly was 4 years later when Tommy got ahold of him. He just quit on his stool.

    I’m not wasting my time with that stuff. I’ve been here for 13 years, you wanna talk boxing, let’s talk boxing. If you care so much, feel free to pursue it yourself

    I notice foreman is it our avatar. You a big fan?

    Well Morriso also fought a walking corpse in Thomas, and a inactive aging ruddock while Tyson fought prime versions of both.

    Thomas and Ruddock were top 3 in the world when Tyson knocked them out

    Both were unranked when they fought Morrison

    Tyson hit harder. More one punch knockouts against better opponents

    Tyson knocked out ranked contenders with 1 punch

    Morrison never knocked out 1 man who was top 10 in the world when the fight took place

    When you overstate your case so wildly, it belies the obvious fact that you have little to no sincere confidence in it yourself.
    Dismissed, with a wave of the hand.

    I’ve been here for 13 years, you’ve been here for a year. Point the finger at yourself. It’s quite apparent you become very emotional when it comes to any foreman related topic and you can’t have an adult like conversation.

    I stated plenty of facts why Tyson hit harder than Morrison. Don’t worry about my confidence level, worry about convincing people how a man whose never knocked out a ranked contender can hit harder than mike Tyson?

    I always liked Morrison, he came to fight, he had talent, showed plenty of heart, could crack hard and provided some really exiting fights and last but not least never quit but he was a solid B level type of guy............would have been interesting to see if he was able to screw his head on better and spending more time at the gym .......he preferd banging wwhores while on drugs and booze.

    B level is key..his power never translated against the divisions best . Tyson’s power knocked out many of the divisions best

    Nope. There is no prosody or voice tone in text, but the fervor you think you see is nothing but your own wishful thinking and I couldn't be more phlegmatic. I simply don't respect your intelligence.
    Facts are invariably easy to come by. What is rather more difficult is assembling those facts into a chain of premises that lead to a valid conclusion.

    I don't often agree with Seamus, but he at least usually makes incisive and instructive comments that I'm better off for having read. You on the other hand, from what I've seen so far, are simply a blowhard of the most underwhelming sort.
    Cheerio.
