and i know u think tyson only ever beat bums ....spinks, thomas, williams, berbick,tubbs,smith,biggs,and holmes were not bums and yeah holmes was 38 but he still had never been koed and was never koed after that but tyson knocked him out cold,something prime holyfield couldnt do to an even older version of holmes. and spinks was a natural light heavy but he would have givin holyfield a run for his money and he ko cooney who was twice his size . so it was a good win for tyson
Right i see you mentioned these names about 6 times today im going to tell you little fact

Spinks was natural Lightheavy only got title getting 2 gifts off a faded Holmes

Pinklon Thomas had talent but he had just got out of rehab

Carl Williams had talent but his chin was badly weak

Berbick had been koed in 1 round before Tyson got to him and lost every round against Holmes

Tubbs had 2 weeks to prepare and was badly out of shape

Smith lol don't make me laugh he lost to Marvis Frazier

Biggs is like Williams had talent but his chin was badly weak and he never beat an elite fighter just like Williams

Holmes 38 2 weeks to train on losing streak and hadn't fought in nearly 2 years.


smith also murdered tim witherspoon.
you say carl's chin was so bad, but holmes couldnt put him away?
thomas had angelo dundee and was very good, but i didnt know he just got out of rehab. so ill take your word on that one.
and where do you get this 2 weeks crap from? acording to you all tyson opponents only get 2 weeks to train for a fight? holmes and tubbs were givin sufficient time to train, they were just beaten by a better man who was in his prime!
and why do you discount spinks as just a light heavy? he was a good HW that could match it with the best.holmes had 30 rds to ko him and he couldnt!
you say tyson is overrated but you also think ALI is overrated?
just keepin it real mr icecold
