Tyson destroyed his opponents, as bad as you may want to make them out to be, he obliterated them like a great fighter that he was.

Wlads holding would only stall the inevitable, which is being beaten by Tyson.
Master how long you reckon it would have taken Tyson to stop Tony Thompson ?

Or Sultan Ibragimov ?

You underrate sultan.

Actually Mike Tyson loved this guy. Tyson said he had simliar hand speed to himself and nice skills. Tyson wanted to be in his corner for the Wlad fight but couldn't leave the state after legal issues.



Ibragimov aka Barney Rubble an olympic silver medallist (more than tyson ever got) who looked about as tough as cream pie.

Very good fighter! not flashy or anything but he fought smart...an intelligent fighter indeed and actually quite slick! Byrd v ibragimov would have been a chess match..

He was good enough to beat everyone not named Klitschko in my view. Always said he is the one heavy who should come back. He had fast hands, power, and could punch or box from his southpaw stance. His performances against briggs and an ageing holyfield were pretty much boxing clinics...and let's not forget he fought his way to a heavyweight unification fight! Wlad gave him massive respect in that fight (boring style clash) but klitschko was aware of iggies ability no doubt...

Oh well. Hope he is happy. took the money and got out with his health and respect in tact, good luck to him.
