    Fought in a weak era , folded like a pack of cards when he fought world class guys who fought back.

    Loved watching him in the mid 80's- 90's, but now i feel he looked much better than he actually was.

    A BULLY , thats my opinion.

    One of the most exiting boxers ever, very skilled in his prime when he had confidence and dicipline. Shame it all went tits up like it did and he started eating people in the ring or snapping their arms off lol.

    He is one of my fav's exitement wise, even when he fought inferior opposition I paid to watch it.

    Youngest heavyweight champion is his greatest acheivement

    Exactly. He would be ideal in this day and age. He was exciting and could punch extremely hard, But as dark lord rightly said he LOOKED much better than he really was.

    That's nothing to do with Tyson but I agree with most of that he was just a bully, but a bully can always be bullied.......and he was.

    Exciting fighter with amazing balance great combination punching and probably one of the fastest Heavyweights ever only Floyd Patterson and Muhammad Ali are in Mike Tysons league in the speed department and i think his speed contributed alot to his power. The problem is for Mike Tyson is that at the time he come along most of the 80s Heavyweight talent were shot fighters and plus Mike Tyson never beat a great fighter in there prime so we will never know how good he really was because he was never really tested and i think you only see the best in a fighter when there severely challenged because you see there heart, will, and you see them got into another gear amongst plenty of other things sadly for Mike Tyson his era wasn't that great so there was no fighter at that time to really teste but in my opinion he could of been of the best Heavyweights ever and only very few Heavyweights could beat Mike Tyson at his peak.

    Holyfield and Lennox would still have beat him at any point!

    I wouldn't say Holyfield or Lennox beat Tyson in his peak years.

    The young wreckless Lennox Lewis would of been KO'ed and so would the older more intelligent Lewis even when Lewis went with Steward he still got caught against lesser fighters and was hurt against Ray Mercer Shannon Briggs Zeljko Mavrovic and against an older Evander Holyfield and as for Evander Holyfield he could fight smart but often he let his pride get in the way and he took far too much punishment like against Bert Cooper Alex Stewart just to name a few and no one could get brave and stand toe to toe with a prime Mike Tyson in my opinion anyway.

    wow

    it has taken all this time for someone else to finaly say this guy's threads are a complete waste of time. That He brings nothing to any debate and purly asks a question and never gives any real opinion on it backed upp with an explanation.

    You might get a So and so?? he is shit, or he is great but no reaosns for it...


    This guy makes VD look a half decent poster.

    A great fighter victimized by his own success. He drank his own kool-aid and put it on cruise control when the guy he was getting ready to fight was supposed to be easy. He could have been greater had he not gone to prison or if the great fighters of the 90s had been great in the 80s, but he took what was available.

    Sylvester Stallone should've based the Rocky movies on THAT fight instead.
