    Bottom line, Tyson was convicted of rape and committed the worst foul I ever saw in the ring.
    Tyson was a great fighter but I'm not missing him, at all.
    That was the old Tyson, we are talking prime Tyson. The one that would ruin the Klit brothers and wipe out Haye and force Audley to immediately retire our of fright.

    Undefeated Tucker and Biggs over 6ft 5 +, Bruno, Williams, Bonecrusher Smith, Thomas whilst not great would have beaten today’s contenders with ease. Tyson and Jones destroyed with what was put in front of them, they did not struggle or lose rounds at their best.

    Yeah, Williams was a monster during the five minutes he lasted against Weaver before he was stopped.

    Tyson didn't lose rounds against tomato cans, because they rarely lasted one. There's a reason why his team kept him away from Holyfield.

    Williams may have been stopped by Weaver but Williams gave Holmes a lot of trouble.

    Tyson would have destroyed Holyfield had they fought when Tyson beat Williams, he was on a different level to most fighters in history.

    He would have been 200lb at most and would have got crushed. Tyson was at his peak.

    He gave a faded, 36 year old Holmes problems.

    Tyson was on a different level? As demonstrated by what? Knocking out faded greats and tomato cans? Didn't Douglas show the world he was overrated?

    Holyfield fought at 212lbs in 1989, 3lbs lighter than when he knocked out Mike in 1996.

    I'll save you the troble of posting the stock response:-

    1. If Cus hadn't died
    2. Tyson didn't train for Douglas
    3. If Rooney was still training him.
    4. Douglas had a long count

    Pick one, or come up with a totally new theory on why Tyson was the greatest in spite of all the evidence to the contrary.

    Douglas was very lucky it was the end of the round or Tyson would of finished him on rising. but he deserved the win 100% he took what he gave and more that was all heart and determination.

    Much more deserving than Rahman with Lewis that was pure luck,but its always on the cards.

    If you put the word explosive up on any boxing forum and ask whos name deserves to be put in front of it, there is only one real answer. He did this sport a great service attracting the public to it.

    Mike Tyson - drugged into mediocrity
    Mike Tyson was one of the most exciting heavyweight boxers of all time. He had ripped apart the best that boxing had to offer.

    Then in 1990 he fought an unimpressive contender called Buster Douglas.

    When he stepped into the ring against Douglas it was as an unbeaten and unbeatable champion. About seven (from memory) rounds into the fight he was laid flat on his back for the count. I watched the fight in astonishment. It was plain to see that Tyson was lethargic. I thought at the time that he was just badly out of condition.

    From that moment on Tyson was a tortured soul. He was in and out of court and jail on a regular basis, and lost fights to people whom he would have wiped the floor with just a few years earlier.

    I read today that when he stepped into the ring in 1990 Tyson was on a chemical cocktail of Lithium, Zoloft, Seroquel, Lamitcal and other psychotropic drugs. On that night Tyson was too zonked out to stand, let alone think or fight clearly

    I had often wondered what happened to turn Mike Tyson from an unbeatable champion to an easy-beat, has-been overnight. I should have realised that it was the psychs.

    TBH I don't think there are too many heavyweights who could have beaten Tyson in his prime.....even the other GREATS would have found it tough.....Tyson had issues with taller fighters....fighters that could take the pressure and come back for more.....I think Tyson would always have trouble fighting a Buster Douglas type boxer....also a Holyfeld type fighter who would have soaked it up and fought back with intensity........food for thought!!!!
