Was Tyrell Biggs the only boxer Tyson genuinely hated?

    Eventhough Tyson was knocking out other fighters he still showed some compassion after the fights and checked to see if they were okay. Most of the time he would not trash talk about tthose oponents after fights either. However in the case of Biggs he seemed to be offended and never forgave him for his insults. I dont even think he hated Mitch Green that much.

    Mitch Green.

    Also, I don't know that he hated Tubbs, but he famously said that he was trying to hit in on the tip if the nose to drive the bone back into his brain.

    Seemed like he disliked Holmes and Berbick for fighting old Ali, couldnt stand Mitch Green (Tysons book covers how Green kept popping up in his life pretty hilariously), and hated Biggs.

    Biggs enemy #1. Green for Dapper Dan's. Holmes and Berbick for what they did to Ali. Also Berbick for wearing black trunks in snub like fashion that caused Tyson to be fined a fair amount by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

    Tyson didn't get along with Bonecrusher that well.

    What about Golota? He seems to be a hated foe with post prison, post suspension, post 90's, pre retirement Tyson.

    Tyson's best quote out of a smorgasbord of great ones.

    I don't know.. He wanted to make Ruddock his girlfriend. I actually think he quite liked Ruddock, playing hard to get maybe??

    It was Ruddock's lips he liked.
    Ruddock did have woman's lips.

    I think Tyson's ideal lover would have lips like Ruddock and make noises like Biggs.
    Throw in Tubbs's tits and you have an absolute goddess.

    Tyson was a bit of a front runner in that he was a bully. He knew he could beat Biggs so he acted like that more. I doubt he would have acted that way against Foreman.

    I think it had more to do with Biggs badmouthing Tyson and snubbing him at the '84 Olympics. If Foreman talked shat to Tyson I'm sure Tyson talks it right back. Foreman wasn't like that though, not in his second career. Just ask Teddy Atlas....

    Nice avatar by the way. Blake is an underrated 80's horror icon. And anything Carpenter produced in the 80's was pure gold....Blake's gold.
