I only said Steve Zouski because he wasn't intimidated by Mike. He got in there and took his beating like a man. Even winked at the ring card girl between rounds. It was him or that other white guy he KOd early on.
u guys shitting on tyson have no clue. at the time...he was just a 20 yr old kid who swept through the heavyweight division like a tornado and beat the best of his era very convincingly. he may have not had a huge career defining victory...but he was doing exactly what he was supposed to with the guys he faced....knock them out.
Not a Tyson fan? Well, I wasn't either back in the day. But looking back, this was one scary, powerful, dangerous MoFo, who totally blew away practically everyone they put in front of him. I don't look at one win, or should I say destruction, as career defining. I look at the total portfolio, and say HOLY ****! Someone like this, in the HW division only comes around once in a blue moon. He was great in his prime. Glad I was there to witness the carnage... :bbb
Fact is, until Cus and Rooney were out of the picture and the fame went to his head, Tyson blew the **** out of most everyone in the division in dominant and exciting fashion. Everyone available and willing to fight him he fought. Similar to Jones, he made everyone else look average at best.
They both made their competition look poor. Sometimes it's not who you beat but how you beat them. Tyson demolished guys and Jones toyed with them.
