Ruddock hit him pretty hard and still lost to Mike. Just sayin'

Undefeated Tony Tucker, Tyrrell Biggs who were 6 ft 6inches plus, motivated Pinklon Thomas, undefeated and awkward Spinks.

Amazing how Mike Tyson still captivates people to this day!

100 years from today it shouldn't change!

He's a unique character who had amazing talent and a throwback style...of course he's going to be held up with the greatest fighters of all time. Dempsey is still talked about, Jack Johnson, Ali.

Years ago without getting into any details I spent a good deal of time in Mike Tyson's old neighborhood because of work and I was no social worker or a tree hugging liberal. In those neighborhoods you had to fight or die and you couldn't let distractions grab your attention. Just ask Robert Duran about the streets he shined shoes in Panama. Here is the big if. If and only if Mike is focussd and figuratively fed raw meat. He's a winner against someone like Wilder and Klitsko brothers would have wished they stayed home. The point is he would be like a hot piece of coal in someone's bare hands, too hot to handle. He would execute the lost art of body punching and even one of my favorites Joshua would have to use movement to keep from being punished. In order for Wilder to last longer he would have to use a jab ann study the geography of the ring he enters against Tyson and Wilder is no Ali. Buster Douglas would have been just another early KO for mike if he kept his mind on the subject at hand and his Holloywood wife was just another woman.
