Tyson has said on numerous occasions that Ali was the greatest of all time and that he'd have stood absolutely no chance against him.

Tyson turned pro considerably earlier than the majority of all-time great heavyweights. The likes of Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Lewis, Klitschko's, etc all went to the Olympics, Tyson never did. Turning that round though, if Tyson is the greatest heavyweight of all time, why did he never recapture his belt after losing to Holyfield, and why did he never win a meaningful fight after the age of 30 when all those listed above fought and won fights at the very top level years after their 30th birthday? Early Tyson is a great watch, and he was clearly ferocious, but his level of competition at his peak wasn't all that up to much, and his peak came and left far too early. A top 15 Heavyweight of all time certainly, but doesn't have a record to equate to he very best. Quote Why are people still arguing with Supras? He’s been at it for weeks in Misc football. Generally I can't be at all fucked with Trolls, but I find Peppino's "say something; become furious with the responses; say gradually more ridiculous things" brand of trolling absolutely fascinating. I'm not convinced it's Supras, but fair play if it is. Mental in all the right places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to look at his life for those answers and would encourage you to read his biography. He was properly did up for most of his career, it was only the beginning where he was relatively in control. Also interesting fact related to that the night he became heavyweight champion in 86 he was being treated for gonhorrea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The best thing about this thread is that several P&Bers have a much greater appreciation of and interest in boxing than Peppy does. Peppy seems to be a microcosm of a problem found in large parts of American society (and permeating here, and something I'm guilty of myself by defining something as broad as "American society" through 'things I've seen personally on the internet,' as if I can know a 300 million+ populace that easily) in that he thinks a thing, spends a cursory glance at some sources of varying repute backing up what he thinks, then proudly proclaiming to the world that he's right. In this case, somewhat more angrily than usual, but it's the same principle. We've seen this with him in other threads (I'm still waiting for his ten minute google research to tell us if the school shooting in Florida last month actually happened or not) and as much as it's entertaining, it's quite worrying that there are grown adults in the world who carry on like this. On the other hand, when you're arguing about a subject where both @The Chlamydia Kid and @Oleksandr could both comfortably run rings around you, you're probably past the point of having enough self-awareness to pack it in.

Dominique Malonga Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Quite simply the baddest man on the planet. Peak Tyson takes out any man in the ring. It is quite nice to see him play down his ability and play modest when it comes to Ali, although Tyson will know himself that he takes Ali out within 4 rounds.
