    There will be someone. It runs in cycles so it's only a matter of time before someone like him will appear.

    Nope, not imo. Mike Tyson was an abnormally

    Very rarely do you see such a big man who combines that kind of athleticism, particularly when they are so effective as to be able to negate what they dont have in terms of height and reach.

    Tyson has one of the best comebacks ever.

    3 years off and coming back like he did? Surprised people do not circle jerk over that a bit more.

    'supposed to be' is a world away from cracking it.
    that's why hyped fighters need to be put in the wait and see basket.

    I think Mike is still faster and more coordinated on his feet than Sam Peter :lol:

    I really dont think so.
    Tyson was considered unbeatable, and he was, except by himself.
    He could have beaten any fighter from any era, and would have been considered a bookies favourite over them all.
    Never again will their be such an explosive heavweight, in terms of explosive quickness.
    He had the potential to retire 60/70 and 0, be sports first billionaire, and thought of as the GOAT.
    Instead he went out on his ass to Kevin ****ing McBride. That says it all.
