[roberto duran legend]

Tyson had a 3 year prime and done nothing after,apart from taking a few beatings,
He is also a pretty shit human being

True but those 3 years were amazing and he has turned out to be an ok guy.

The only person I can think of that had a shorter prime is Riddick Bowe, maybe Floyd Patterson

You can stretch you prime with very selective fights to last many years such as Dempsey did.

Yea but Tyson kinda lacked in coming back from a lose most greats do he never avenged his first lose which he could of. Also he kinda never dug deep to win the big fights after words. Most atg come back and and win Holyfield, Lewis, Forman, Holmes and Ali all did it which makes me mark down Tyson a tad. He did run through in those few years but the lose to Douglas which never should of happened and his lack of comeback kinda marks him down. Plus besides Holmes because Spinks best win besides a gift was Cooney for fucksake, He lost the others to Holyfeild and Lewis.

Tyson did win the title after he came out of jail. To illustrate Tyson's heart watch the Rudduck fight, he had to dig deep there.

I think the Ruddock & Bruno fights were Mike at his best vs very tough, determined fighters. Had those guys had better chins or better defense they might have been able to beat Tyson. Sure Tyson's "Prime" was vs Spinks, but shit Spinks laid down, he didn't want any part of Tyson.
