    Nah. Tyson always hit harder than Holyfield. The difference when they fought is probably due to Tyson's ineffective aggression. He was leaping into counter shots. This also happened against Douglas but you wouldn't say Douglas had Tyson type power.

    You can also buy drugs. By all accounts Tyson lost a lot of weight and body mass in prison anyway. My brain is developed enough to know that you don’t get bulked up and ripped to the extent that Tyson did before fighting McNeely in 5 short months without some pharmaceutical assistance after being sedantry for 3+ years.

    It takes a mighty impressive suspension of disbelief to believe otherwise. Tyson fanboys like yourself do excel at that as well as denial lol

    According to Tyson sycophants Holyfield is a confirmed drug cheat despite not ever testing positive to PED nor being definitively proven to be involved with BALCO. The whole EvanFields thing is suspect in itself. Yet I’m pretty sure he was juiced just as I’m pretty sure the vast majority of heavies from the 1980’s onwards have juiced. Somehow a morally dubious character like Tyson would abstain? I don’t buy it and I doubt anyone truly does deep down.

    Tyson fan are the poster boys for this derangement nonsense you speak of. Everything from Robin Givens, Don King, the long count, the **** conviction, Holyfield juicing, the bite etc were all events Tyson was the “victim” of and he bares no or mitigated responsibility for. Face it, Tyson was a **** up. He alone set the course his life took. At least he’s made something of himself now having a career being the butt of gags on Jimmy Kimmel and selling his dope.

    PERFECT response.
    Completely sensible.

    Even though it is possible anyone might dispose of guys quicker due to greater boxing ability, such as accuracy or effective combos or greater volume...
    This was not the case comparing past prime Tyson with Holyfield.
    It was due to greater power.

    Holyfield due to his hard work & training, including with the 8 time Mr. Olumpia Lee Haney, AND juicing, became just physically stronger.

    I don’t give a stuff about yet another Tyson sob fest/circle jerk thread.
    He gets far too much attention for someone who was an also ran by the age of 23. Lewis, Wlad and Holyfield have all superseded his accomplishments subsequently not to mention all the true greats who were better previously yet few of them (except possibly Ali) get as much attention and none get as many excuses and passes given for any failing.

    I just like crushing the fantasies of his sycophants by injecting a dose of reality into their delusions.

    Go on and tell us how Tinkerbell would have reigned forever if he hadn’t fired “master trainer” Kevin Rooney lol I’m sure someone out there believes it.

    Yes there is. A dose of Douglas-Tyson in the morning, a tonic of Tyson-Holyfield in the afternoon and apply a poultice of Tyson-Lewis before bed. It’ll cure the most stricken of Tyson fantasists ie you

    I can throw in a dose of getting battered by a scrub like Danny Williams and Tyson quitting like a coward dog against Kevin McBride but I don’t think you want me to go there do you? That’s more embarrassing losses than any other “all time great” I can think of.

    I think you should emulate your hero ala KMcBride and quit while you’re behind fanboy. I can go on forever exposing you to the Tyson realities but that won’t do your mental health much good. Then again Tyson fantasists have a phd in denial too.

    If thats how low u have to go to get ammo then your shooting blanks. You could do that for many ATG like Louis, ALI , RJJ ect..And it still doesent change the fact that their still ATG like Tyson.
    You having to stoop that low just shows how the TDS has gotten the best of you. Lol!

    Obviously your TDS has also turned you into a stalker..iv told you several times to buzz off, scram and that the conversation is over.
    Take your extreme accusations without any evidence somewhere else, your literally exhibit A beyond help so again scram kid.
