Who went the distance with Tyson most impressively?

Tucker or Tillis. Probably Tucker, because Tillis fought a less experienced version.

 

Tills and Donovan Ruddock

 

well..out of the ones i have seen...i'll go for bonecrusher...like a wise old fox against tyson in that fight...
i am trying to remember the mitch green fight...i have seen it on tv a couple of times but is not fresh enough in my memory to say how good or bad green was..

 

Bonecrusher was a *****, the guy held and ran most of the fight.

 

yes ... a boring fight...lots of holding...but he showed how a defensive boxer could tie tyson up like that...there was a lesson in that boring fight...

 

Holyfield. Until Tyson bit Holyfield's ear.

 

Tucker

 

I'd say Tony Tucker. Didn't he fight from rd 2 with a broken hand ?

 

Pretty bad. He ran for most of the fight.

 

Tillis, though Green and Tucker did pretty admirable jobs hanging around, considering the fact that Mitch, in some ways, didn't even try due to the stuff happening outside of the fight.

 

Tillis. Tucker deserves a mention aswell though.

 

You guys are forgetting Ruddock, that was a slugfest.

It's either Tillis, Tucker, or Ruddock. Tillis because he came closest on the scorecards but it was with a green and sick Tyson, Tucker because he arguably won 4 rounds against a prime Tyson, and Ruddock because he wobbled him several times in the toughest win of his career. Any of these three will do.

 

It could be argued that Tyson won every round in that fight, don't see the Smith fight was anything special except showing he was fairly durable and liked to clinch. He only landed one solid punch the entire fight, in the 12th.

Blood Green didn't really come close to winning either, I scored it 9-1 I believe the last time I watched it although he gave more of an effort than Smith.
