I miss Tyson

[TysonBomb]

Fine Tyson fans have it your way....though it's odd that someone who was "unbeatable" got the everliving shit hammered out of him by Buster Douglas and lost TWICE to a former cruiserweight, one time in the most chicken shit way possible.

We all know that the Buster Douglas fight was the biggest upset in boxing history and we all know he could never duplicate that feat from that night in Tokyo. And Tyson STILL put him down with an uppercut in the 8th, almost unraveling all of Douglas' work. Douglas caught lightning in a bottle that night ... he was motivated and focused like never before and trained like it was the fight of his life. Mike foolishly thought he took an easy fight in Douglas and was in vacation mode in Japan. He went on a crash diet of nothing but soup and was visibly lethargic from the start of the fight. Tyson's corner was the only thing more unprepared than him that night.

Not to mention the personal problems he had outside of the ring during that time.

The Tyson-Douglas match was a fight! Two guys hitting each other... doing the boxing and the punching... trying to win the fight... throwing caution to the wind at times... riveting people to their TV sets or the live action... each guy dropping the other... EXCITING SHIT!

(sigh)... I miss those days.

They say you have to actually fight Tyson to win and not show fear, Wlad would do the complete opposite and cower away via back peddling or grab on for dear life.

Just look at the injuries he caused to Razor Ruddock and Andrew Golota. Ruddock had his jaw wired shut due to a fracture and his ribs were broken. Andrew Golota had a broken cheek bone, a herniated disc, and a concussion ... there was risk of paralysis due to the extent of his injuries.

Buster Douglas fought the best fight of his life and that was it for him ... he didn't want the rematch because he knew that a focused Tyson would be able to beat him ... it would take away from the mystique and awe of that night where he defeated Iron Mike Tyson.

The Tyson-Ruddock fights trump anything that both brothers have done ... just LISTEN to the massive shots they throw at each other





You think Wlad would EVER be able to sustain punishment like that? What if one of Razor Ruddock's "smashes" landed on his jaw or a Tyson combo to his body?

His life would be in danger. These two would put him in intensive care.

These two fights are the two most underrated heavyweight fights ever ... rarely will you ever see the kind of punishment exchanged between two heavyweights like that.


Boxing died when its true king and maestro Iron Mike Tyson retired. Hell, even Tyson vs. McBride was better than anything Wlad put on!
