The Chlamydia Kid Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 At 3.00 in that you get the best example of his talent imo that and his speed and power with both hands. Remarkable. Having fast hands and power ain’t all boxing is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved to have seen how Ali would have dealt with 1986-89 Iron Mike Tyson. It wound have been some fight. There are similarities in styles between Tyson (86-89) and Joe Frazier whom Ali struggled with (lost 1st time round and very nearly did again in Manila) but styles make fights......just look how George Foreman easily dispatched Frazier. A peak Foreman with his reach and heavy hands would light Tysons eyes up in a similar way to Fraziers IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Define way better? He can't. Don't waste your time. He thinks Mike Tyson might be the best boxer that's ever lived, he is also a pathetic troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR #1 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Most overrated boxer in history imo. Looked great knocking over the tomato cans right enough but what were his best wins? A past it Larry Holmes? Light heavy Spinks? Losing to the likes of Douglas and Holyfield should certainly rule him out of being regarded as the greatest.

You get the 'prime Tyson would have...' excuse but actual great heavyweights like Ali and Foreman came back after their prime and won belts against high calibre boxers. Not only did Tyson lose to every competent top tier boxer he fought, the 'prime' Tyson also struggled against half decent 2nd tier boxers. Guys like Bonecrusher Smith, Tony Tucker, Razor Ruddock all took Tyson the distance. Tyson had some excellent attributes as a boxer but he's nowhere near the true greats. Was there any Tyson fight that a David Tua or a Riddick Bowe wouldn't have won in similar fashion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermik Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Tyson might have had his flaws but by feck, me and about95% of boxing fans at the time loved seeing him fight. I missed many an hours sleep having a late night waiting to watch his fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
