These people that talk smack about Mike Tyson...

[Master]

Tyson lifestyle caught up with him, he had promotional strggles, STD before the Douglas fight, marriage issues and lost his trainer.

Bowe was finished by the fridge and lack of dedication. Holyfield triology did not help.

Moorer had a weak chin.

Yes, and also an admitted drug habit. Said he went into the ring on coke a few times.

I did not realise he took drugs during his peak, know he got done against Golota.

Pay $3million and banned for a time. That is how.

Mike Tyson was a great fighter, no doubt. One of the most fearsome punchers and most intimidating fighters in history. That being said, I don't know how shot he was, and not sure that it really matters. Bowe got fat and never fulfilled his potential, so the bottom line is that regardless of what you feel caused Mike to not have the really big wins over elite opponents, the fact is he never got those wins. Top 15 ATG at Heavy? Sure. Ahead of guys like Holmes, Louis, Lewis, Ali, Evander, Marciano, Foreman...etc.? I don't see it.

You have to be a real asshole to talk shit about Mike (unless you're one of the many people he victimized outside of the ring hahaha).

He was exciting as fuck, he had the power of Foreman with the speed of Ali, and he was programmed to throw bombs and produce brutal KOs. He's the greatest.

Tyson was on coke, weed and liquor from the late 80's.

Bowe had a screw knocked loose or come loose. His meltdown was quick permanent. IMO

Bowe vs Tyson at any point in time would have been GREAT!
