Thread: Tyson & Pacquiao

Two fighters whose fans have misconstrued the word "exciting" in place of "great".

It's great to see exciting fighters but that doesn't make them great.
As being so called boring to watch doesn't eliminate any athlete from being considered as great.
If Pac or Tyson were Quarterbacks in the National football ball leagues, they IMO would play like Brett Favre: gun slingers who are either throwing touchdowns or interceptions.
Floyd IMO would be like Joe Montana: no strong arm. Doesn't run out of the pocket, yet wins Super Bowl after super bowl.
ATGs find ways to win.

Tyson per Cuss D'amato didn't have the style to beat certain fighters Holyfield proved it.Whooped his ass once and before he could whoop his ass twice, Tyson bit his way out..
Pac just can't beat JMM or any master counter puncher

PBf. Bhop, Ali, Calzaghe, Holmes, These fighters define ATG.
They find ways to win, even if they have to change styles.
Hell, that's what makes them great.

I Enjoy watching Pac & Tyson. THEY BRING IT!
Yet they have no plan B when needed. That makes them exciting , BUT not GREAT.
Great rebuttals welcome..
