    Oh really?

    Do tell us how many of the other Heavyweights mentioned had already been pro fighters to all intents and purposes for 7 years aged 20 the way Tyson was? The illiterate freak did nothing but box, and s^^ually assault young girls ( there was NO school attendance, just Old Tomato's bit on the side trying to teach the idiot how to read and write ) from the day old Tomato took him under his wing and paid off the aggrieved girls to protect his cash cow.

    Save your fanboy type bullsh&t for people gullible, or down right stupid enough, to believe it.

    Foxy, you have such out of control hate for Tyson you are incapable of logically assessing his in ring skill/talent.

    That's why you claimed he wasn't in your top 100 heavys of all time :deal

    tysons prodigy was unmatched, but perhaps you know he ws pushed too far too early too young, it might have led to his early mindset not being ready for what came later, and his early downfall thus.

    I'm very surprised that Cassius Clay isn't given a chance here.

    Why the surprise, when you are visiting an unofficial Tyson fan club which is what ESB has become?

    The harsh reality is the muppet first started learning how to fight at 13 and it was all over by 23. Yet people hang off his nuts. Incredible when you think of all the fighters that walked into ama clubs at a similar age didn't turn pro until their late teens and went on to fight and indeed win until their 30's.

    you are just a mental mess when it comes to Tyson dude :!:

    you hate him for his out of ring crimes and I understand that, I really do Foxy, the part whereby you go off the rails is when you start using your hate for all that to attack members that simply claim he had some of the fastest hardest punches ever,,,,, you cant separate the TWO, that's why you claimed that Tyson wouldn't be in your top 100 heavys.

    Foreman comes to mind. He wasnt the monster yet he became 4 years later but he had an iron chin and probably already more power than Tyson. Lets be honest even young George must have had more power than anyone Tyson has ever fought. But Tyson had more experience at 20. 50/50 for me.
