    Tyson was the youngest fighter ever to win the heavyweight championship. He unified the division beating ATG's like Spinks and Holmes.

    How big a *** are you to compare Jeff ****ing Lacy to Mike Tyson who after years in prison came back and won the heavyweight title again?

    I could see pre Calzaghe Lacy surviving Mikes early onslaught and slowly breaking him down for a late stoppage. You have got to bear in mind that Mike doesn't have Joe's insane stamina or speed, if Jeff can survive the first four rounds i think he would have a good chance.

    I dont have so much to say about this, but dont be so sensitive! if other fighters can get doubts and **** written about them all over this site, Tyson can too!

    Btw. I dont agree with TS. Tyson was much better than Lacy

    Lacy was never in the same league as Tyson. Come on, Tyson was a supreme champion........albeit only prime for a short period.

    Larry Holmes came out of retirement for that fights and was shot. He hadnt fought in nearly 2 years,after he had been beaten twice by Spinks.

    Michael Spinks an ATG?????

    He made his name as a light heavy, he may have been an ATG at light heavyweight! Certainly not at heavyweight!

    He came out of prison,still in his 20s, no real reason why he shouldnt be able to get back to near his best after he training and a few warms ups.
    His loss to Douglas came BEFORE he went to prison.

    He then got beaten by Holyfield twice. Then Lennox Lewis destroyed him.
    Deal with it.

    Lacy?

    He couldn't even get past Calzaghe.

    Which must mean he was practically a bum.

    Spinks was undefeated before he fought Tyson. Tyson Ko'd him in 91 seconds. Holmes only loss was to Michael Spinks. Spinks and Holmes **** on any name on Lacy's resume. Lewis destroyed a past prime Tyson. Holyfied was the best heavyweight of his generation. No shame in losing to him twice, especially after Tyson was no longer at his best.

    And if you werent such a ****** you'd see a clear differene in Tyson pre prison to Tyson post prison. Or more correctly Tyson pre Kevin Rooney.

    Clearly not the same fighter.


    Are you a Klitscko fan homo?

    Tyson was an animal, but the fact that he had to be ****ing babysit by Rooney says a lot about him, no?

    When comparing Tyson to ****ing Jeff Lacy it doesnt mean anything. Tyson at his best and focused, hungry was one of the greatest heavyweights to ever lace him. Jeff Lacy was at his best a mediocre fighter.

    Don't think Lacy ever quite got to the point Tyson is! Tyson goes down as a ATG, Lacy goes down as "What Hook" Lacy

    Nope,just dont get why people get so caught up in the Tyson hype.

    Made a living out of beating bums,light heavyweights and past prime fighters,with a few good fighters thrown in. He wa a very good fighter,just not this legendary monster some people made him out to be.

    When he stepped up he got beaten.

    I also said I rate Tyson higher than Lacy,just that its the same general theme.

    Monstrous fighter gets shown up when he steps up in class.

    Because you dont ****ing watch boxing. I dont even particularly care for Tyson but even I can see in his prime he was a freak.


    :lol: When he stepped up? He beat atleast 4 better fighters before Douglas. He didnt lose when he stepped up. He lost when he stepped down and was unfocused. :patsch

    You're a moron. How is Buster Douglas a step up in class from Spinks, Holmes or Bruno?
