    Tyson was very beatable.

    Thoughts?

    Of course.

    Every fighter is beatable. It's just that certain circumstances allowed some fighters to not lose, or not lose until they were well after their primes. It doesn't mean they're not great or that good or whatever.

    That being said, I don't hold it that much against Tyson for having some trouble with Tillis. Wow, a 19 year old with about 15 months of pro experience had his problems with a veteran.

    I agree. Tillis had him frustrated Mike starts chewing on his gloves something he did as an amatuer when he got frustrated in a fight he also did it in the McBride fight. Tillis showed what putting a good jab in Mikes face would do. Tyson clearly won I think 6 rounds to 4 but Tillis was the first guy to show the "blueprint" on how to beat Tyson.

    negative, you just watched his worst performance pre-douglas.

    YOu have to remember, Tyson was fighting every 2-3 months...he was bound to have a lazy performance.

    I disagree and no, I'm 100% not biased:tong

    Seriously though, Tillis showed what a prime Ali could have done.
