This is a picture of Tyson during his weigh in for that infamous WBC world title fight in 1986.
At that moment in time nobody on the planet could of beat him, nobody !
Out of all the fighters that have been and gone since 1986, none of them would of beaten Tyson at that moment in time, Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe all would of failed in 1986.
He was the most unbeatable heavyweight ever when he was younger.
Since 1986 it has always been a down hill journey for Tyson, he never lived up to what most thought he could achieve. All his fans watched him deteriate over the years, but still supported him, even through the bad years when he was in prison his fans stood by him. Why ?
I was one of those that were lucky enough to be following Tysons career early on before he was world champion.
They kept putting opponents in front of him and he kept destroying them, he didnt stop, he went all the way to the top, from zero to hero.
I dont think any boxer in history has ever been so unbeatable as Tyson was in the mid 80's.
Us Brit's dont like using words like awesome, but he was.
