Lets end the Mike Tyson debate

If he wouldn't get in there with Harry Wills I doubt he'd feel good about taking on one of the more modern black giants.

I figure if a guy like Frank Bruno was around back then (and the size he was), a lot of those white boxers would have looked for another line of work!

Frank Bruno got as big as he did due to advances in training and most importantly Healthcare. Back in Tunney's day women still drank & smoked and did God knows what else while with child....so yeah IF IF IF all you like but I don't see anyone with a time machine around here

That's true.

Black people are more athletically gifted than white people ON AVERAGE.

It would be interesting what the 1920's make of Tyson Fury.

Just read some post about Tyson KO's not being impressive.

All big time fighters have many hand picked oppenents. Thats not to say they don't take on and overcome their biggest challenges. And thats also not to say Tyson himself conquered any of his biggest challenges. But to say its not impressive to KO 23 or more professional heavy wieght boxers in the first round isnt impressive is crazy. Alot of them top 10 at the time.

I doubt any other fighter has KO'd 20 opponents in the first round.

What? Tell me you still don't believe that sht. That sht was used for marketing purposes way back in the day.

Yeah sure there are still a majority of African American pro athletes in football and basketball, but the NBA and NFL union, who basically run the NBA and NFL, are all founded by Africans Americans.

Trust me there is no difference outside of marketing.

Bean both Holyfeild and Lewis were able to carry one way longer and after there primes. I am just saying Tyson burnt out and could not carry on or better himself when other greats have been able to . The guys you mention were old as dust by the time they were losing badly not a good comparison.

Tyson was the type of fighter that was going to have a short prime, like Fraiser or Rocky they burn out. At his best he was better than Holyfield and Lewis could ever be.
