Me neither! I was using the word invincible as a figure of speech. It was a label that was branded round for Tyson a lot in those days but looking back now he always had flaws and I think anyone who could have stood upto him and his punch like Evander did later on would have always beaten!
I agree. Tyson was a bully and all you need to do to beat a bully is stand up to him (in Tyson's case you needed a good chin too).

People used to say Anthony Dirrell was the better of the Dirrell bros. I just don't see it, Andre seems alot faster to me.
