    was hamed no a monster a superbantam in his prime?i mean mate to say that just highlights a distinct lack of knowledge for hamed and shows a blatant bias for anything tyson touched.

    i think tyson86 said 99/100 tyson beats douglas,we cant say that because the 1 time he fought him he was beat,theres no point saying tyson could do this he could do that because he could never ever prove it against really elite fighters.

    to use the excuse he was moe interested in shagging than fighting,that degrades him as a boxer because boxing is much about professionalism and tyson showed a lack of it and his talent was not enough to get him past an average douglas.

    hamed thought in the later years that he could throw one big right from the side and the fight was over,he paid the price thoroughly for that,but when hamed was in his peak he fought a similar level of competition to tyson and disposed of nearly everyone in similaly brutal fashion.

    pretty much everything you just said can be said for hamed-barrera.

    he sacked his life time mentor and trainer, the man who knew what made him tick and who made him what he was, brendan ingle and replaced him with some stupid manny steward/oscar suarez duo who completely changed his gameplan.

    the prince's ego was out of control, he didn't bother training like he used to and was in love with his power. thinking he could just turn up and rip anyones head off, no questions asked. he thought he was unbeatable and underestimated MAB badly.

    .....and please, if everyone apparently knew that tyson wasn't taking buster seriously then why the **** was buster 36 to 1 with the bookies?

    there is a lot more in this comparison than some of you tyson sack swingers realise.

    how exactly did steward **** hamed up?
    did he take away his flair and try and make him more conventional?

    part of that though is that tyson was a heavy weight.

    Everyone knows who Pac is, as well as MAB and Morales, if you fight with your heart and show toughness and your excting to watch, you will capture peoples attention, and you will remembered for a longtime. I think it's safe to say today, that smaller guys are more known and watched than the bigger guys, the only time the Heavyweights are on PPV, is when Holyfield fights.

    remember hamed has been retired 6 years, they're current/just retired fighters.
