    y did he use them so ?
    u think they had no effect ?

    dude had no left hook .
    when did he ever hurt any1 with a left hook ?
    a left elbow is what he had .

    even when his opponent managed 2 evade his elbow it effected his way of fighting because his opponents had 2b aware that they were going 2b hit by elbows , so they could not fight him d way they wanted and could because Tyson was allowed 2 cheat whereas his opponents were not .

    u really do not get all of this ?

    You can make that claim with several fighters... had "insert all-time great name" retired prior to getting beat he may be considered the best ever....

    What if Holmes retired at 48-0 overall and 21-0 in HW World Title Fights?

    What if Holyfield retired at 28-0 (22) overall and 10-0 (7) in World Title Fights... CW and HW. He also was 4-0 (1) vs. Hall of Famers Qawi, Foreman, and Holmes at this point.

    What if Chavez retired before losing to Frankie Randall?

    What if Jeffries never came back?

    What if Wilde retired before his first loss?

    It would have enhanced Tyson's legacy if he actually had retired after beating Spinks.

    Tyson wanted to retire because there was no one left to beat, hed just demolished his closest rival, he also didnt want to retire broke like fighters before him. But look how everything turned out
    Ive slowly come to the conclusion that King was behind Tysons **** conviction

    Dokes , Witherspoon and Page were there 2 beat , later he would have had a somewhat more matured McCall and a more heavyweight fit Holyfield , i have seen d sparing session but things could have 2rned differently in a real fight .

    Dokes lost to Ruddock who Tyson took care of twice

    Spoon lost to Smith who Tyson beat

    Greg Page was just a sparring partner as was Oliver Mcall. Nope it would not have been any different because Mcall was never that good in the first place. This is a guy who lost a decision to Frank Bruno. Oliver Mcall joins the long list of being the only other man apart from Philip Brown to be UD by Frank Bruno.

    Beating them 3 would not have meant much, as Tyson had already solidified himself as the greatest heavyweight on earth.
