Which fight was Mike Tyson's best performance?

no

 

I thought 'Dr. Larry' settled this.

 

Holyfield II.

 

The Ruddock fights.

Wow.

 

Jose Ribalta IMO.

 

the way he destroyed pinklon thomas ranks up there with the best in my opinion. thomas' corner just had to stop it after mike teed off on him.

 

His K.O over Donnie long ranks up their ali-frazier, louis-shmeling

 

Gotta go with spinks, followed by Berbick . Tucker was also a great performance. I like the Pinklon Thomas performance also.

 

spinks but spinks was scared shiteless of him LOL

 

Berbick KO

 

call me crazy but i enjoyed the buster douglass fight. that image of him getting back up and trying to pick up the mouthpiece with his glove is stuck in my head and made me respect him even more.

 

A few fights I'm impressed with:

Berbick for that aesthetically pleasing knockout.
Thomas for finishing a man who'd never been knocked out before.
Biggs for a masterful boxing lesson.
Holmes for cleanly knocking out a legend.
Spinks for the horrific brevity.

But the fight that impressed me most would be the Ribaltsa brawl. Mike showed his heart and determination. Ribalta took some hellacious shots and came back for more as Tyson didn't fold or show frustration, something that he's often accused of doing if he couldn't get the quick KO. He showed poise and patience.

 

Really close call but I vote for the Tucker fight simply because he passed his first 12 round test against a huge heavyweight who had some serious skills. He also went 12 with Bonecrusher but there's really no debating the fact that Tucker was superior in every category.

 

Helluva chin by ribalta man dude had heart
