Tyson best Wins.

robin givens!

 

Ive always rated Pinklon Thomas as his best win & his best performance.

 

Holmes( still his best win even though Holmes was way past it)
Spinks ( undefeated at the time)
Ruddock
Bruno
Berbick

 

Holmes is a good win because of what he went on to achieve afterwards. Tyson was just too good at the time he made it look easy.
Golota is another underrated win.
Carl Williams was one of his best performances next to Thomas, Spinks and Berbick.

 

I'm not sure I rate Tyson's win over Holmes that highly, considering Holmes had been dragged out of an almost two year retirement and after the fight he went immediately back into a retirement that lasted three or so years. I dont think anything can speak more about a man's lack of determination and passion to win than being dragged out of an almost two year retirement for one fight then going straight back into retirement again.

 

Larry Holmes wasn't as faded as people suggest, 4 years after Tyson beat him Holmes beat an undefeated Ray Mercer and lost a close decision to a prime undefeated Holyfield for the heavyweight title, 3 years after that he lost another close decision to Oliver McCall for the heavyweight title. Tyson was the only man to knock Larry out, he may have been past prime but he certainly wasn't shot.

 

He wasn't sitting around on the couch. He was still in training and put in the hardest camp for Mike. The way Tyson beat him left any doubt it would of been any different if Homles was younger.

 

18 months layoff is nothing.

Tito came back after 2 and a half years , destroyed Mayorga and looked fantastic doing it.

 

Just my two cents,

Holmes took punches from great hitters like Ernie Shavers and Jerry Cooney and won.

His punch resistance may already be gone when he fought Tyson.

A younger Holmes isn't a guaranteed win, but seeing how someone like Douglas who utilized jab (Holmes best weapon), solid punches and a stout heart stopped Tyson, there's reason to believe a younger Holmes wouldn't do otherwise.

 

Tyson is one of the most overrated fighters of all time. His resume is very weak. He was a glorified bum beater. He was a mentally weak punk who always folded like a cheap tent when things didn't go his way. He lost 6 times, got KTFO 5 times, quit twice. He never avenged any of his losses.

He got more from sparring than he would of fighting some guy who was nothing like Tyson. He wasn't sitting around on the couch.

 

typical delusional Tyson nuthugger

 

Tyson would put Wlad into intensive care and retire him from boxing.

 

He got robbed against Macall in 1996 after he had just knocked Lewis the **** out. He was still fully capable in 1988. Do you think it would of been different against a 1982 Holmes?
