would mike tyson be significant in todays heavyweight division ?

good post :good:good

 

He beats everyone not named Klitschko.

 

Mike tyson would be the undisputred heavyweight king rite now.....if his body was it was in 1987 and 88 or even 91 for that matter

 

these younger guys are just dumb..............they think tysons prime was when he fought holy in 96 or even against danny williams

 

Mike doesn't look like that now. He's been vegan for like 2 years and lost like 130 pounds. Still not in boxing shape though.

Good Tyson article link below, with excerpt:

http://www.details.com/culture-trends/news-and-politics/201008/interview-boxing-mike-tyson

"Details: Your opponents always seemed to weaken before the opening bell. Proud fighters in peak condition—Trevor Berbick, Michael Spinks, Donovan "Razor" Ruddock, Frank Bruno, even Larry Holmes—just seemed to get smaller the moment they made eye contact with you. It was like witchcraft.

Mike Tyson: No doubt about it. Intimidation is crucial to the art of warfare, and it's totally legit. It's allowed to be used. It must be used.

Details: But how did you do it? All these guys had spent lifetimes thriving on that same intimidation.

Mike Tyson: I just had to believe it. And if I didn't, I just had to make myself believe it.

Details: Believe what?

Mike Tyson: That I had to kill this man. And you can't fake it, not even one tenth of one hundredth percent. You have to believe it so strongly that you can impose that belief, that will, on him. And that's another realm altogether.

Details: Because every fighter has to have that same will, that same need, that same drive . . . to impose their will on another man.

Mike Tyson: Every fighter in the history of fighting. But none like me. And, believe me, I'm not being immodest. None like me. I studied every fighter in history, at my manager's house up in Catskill, 'cause he had all the greatest fights on film, he had every last one of them, and I watched them all, every night. They were all so vicious, man. Jake LaMotta, Henry Armstrong, Carmen Basilio. Sugar Ray—God, he was vicious. But Jack Dempsey more than anyone. All these guys let you know they wanted to murder you, and they'd take shots from you, over and over and over, get beat senseless, just so they could get theirs in. Sugar Ray maybe most of all. But Jack Dempsey? He wanted to maim you. He didn't want you dead. He wanted you to suffer. He wanted to shatter your eye socket, destroy your cheeks, your chinbone. That's what I learned from Mr. Dempsey, and I believe I learned it well."

 

Crazy right?

 

Mike would've bobbed and weaved his way inside and broke down both brothers.

 

Ah captain kirk, I believe I summed it up perfectly earlier in the thread.

 

I hate a liar more than anything on this forum!:fire Brewster is 6'2", not 6'0"! And its lucky if Tyson is 5'11"................

 

just stupid not crazeee

 

Tyson in his prime days would had made both Klits his bitches and any other HW from now days too.

Tyson made Holmes look like an amateur and Holmes had more skills than both Klits put together i.e. jab, movement ect ect. He was not flatfooted like the Klits and his jab was way better than the Klits' jabs. And with all that Tyson destroyed him. Now I will say this Holmes did come out of retirement to face Tyson, and had it been the prime Holmes the fight would had been way different.

I have always said this out of all the Heavys from late 70s, 80s and 90s, Tyson and Holmes would had beaten both brothers.

 

tyson says it himself ffs.if your not scared of him then its half the battle won...anyone who beat him had no fear of him..does anyone here really think vitali would have feared tyson just because he brutaly knocked out b level sluggers but nearly every decent boxer he fought he lost to..and notice i said boxer not fighter..
