    What? I never said any of that. You are a sad individual. Giving Mike Tyson all that power over you. I mean, how does that even feel? :ohno

    Seems like he has the power over you.

    So you do believe Mike Tyson is a drug cheat after he admitted to using a fake dick to pass PED tests?

    Glad we cleared that up. My apologies.

    so Tyson, Frazier, Louis, if we take one of their better opponents we end up with something like Ribalta vs Bonavena vs Walcott, which would all be really good competitive fights

    Ribalta isn't one of Tyson's better opponents though.

    You're clueless. He used cocaine, not PED's, that's why he used the fake dick.
    Tyson never used PED's, he didn't believe in them.

    So you believe a guy who uses a fake dick to pass drug tests.

    If Mike offers to sell you a bridge in Brooklyn, I suggest you jump on the chance. Guys who use fake dicks and their own baby’s urine to cheat drug tests would never lie to you.

    Tyson's opponents were not really poo pooed, he fought the opponents that were in his era, not futuristic, hypothetical, or from the past but in his present era. Tyson's management brought him up slowly, which you are supposed to do with a relatively young fighter, you don't throw him into the fire right away ala Pete Rademacher. Tyson realistically could not fight Sonny Liston, he had been deceased since 1971. Tyson could not fight Lennox Lewis or the Klitchko's because Lewis was still an amateur, the Klitchko's were developing as fighters. Cus D Amato may have over sheltered his fighters, an example being Floyd Patterson, but with the help of Kevin Rooney they developed a truly hard hitting heavyweight, who had he continued with the same bunch that brought him to the big dance quite possibly could have ruled into the 1990's.

    Floyd fought Durelle in his 10th pro fight and Maxim in his 14th. If that is being protected, I'd hate being unprotected.

    He should have faced nr. 1 ranked Machen instead of nr. 3 ranked Harris in 1958. That's really the biggest mark on his reign.

    What are you talking about? Thomas was well prepared physically for the Tyson fight. As I said Tyson unleashed 6-7 power rights and lefts to his head before he went down. Very durable fighter and looked more or less like he did three years earlier.

    Obviously holyfield can't hold a candle to Tyson in terms of the level of epic knockouts. Tyson was definitely a better knockout artist and a much harder puncher than Fields was, even with his steroids on the daily.

    Holyfield used steroids and likely HGH to the point where he looked in human. It's obvious he is the most doped up boxer in the history of sport. Nobody did it better, and Tyson has never been implicated in PED use, just recreational drug use. His physique didn't change at all throughout most of his career, an indicator he wasn't using PEDs.
