Prime Mike Tyson in this era

[El Kabong]

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.

People here don't understand what "prime" means.

Every fighter has a different prime. Tyson had a 4 year prime from 86-89. During his prime he was more prolific than any heavyweight. He wasn't KTFO by B level fighters twice like Lewis in his prime.

Even Lewis acknowledged that Tyson was done by the time he fought him and you morons still hold it against him. Are we going to hold it against Joe Louis to get knocked right out of the ring against Marciano? Or for Ali to become nothing but a mere punching bag against Holmes? That fight was a farce and Tyson was still the only reason why it was big ... Lewis had the drawing power of a fly. Mike didn't even like boxing at that point and didn't even bother to get in shape.

How long was Joe Fraziers prime or Marcianos?
