Pre Prison vs Post Prison Mike Tyson

[imp]

Tyson’s opponents in that 86-88 timeframe

David Jaco 19-5
Mike Jameson 14-9
Jesse Ferguson 14-1(if I recall correctly Ferguson gave Mike a fight, will have to go watch after typing up this book)
Steve Zouski 25-9
James Tillis 31-8
Mitch Green 16-1-1
Reggie Gross 18-4
William Hosea 12-3
Lorenzo Boyd 15-5
Marcus Frazier 16-1
Jose Ribalta 22-3-1
Alfonzo Ratliff 21-3
Trevor Berbick 31-4-1
James Smith 19-5
Pinklon Thomas 29-1-1
Tony Tucker 34-0
Tyrell Biggs 15-0
Larry Holmes 48-2
Tony Tubbs 24-1
Michael Spinks 31-0

So crap until the end few and even then the best are old and out of retirement. That’s how you build a legend

Edit-Ferguson fight wasn’t terribly competitive but the ruling was garbage. Ferguson was DQed but the ref arbitrarily ruled it a TKO.

Ron,

Keep expanding..are you disputing his record or not?

What are your views on Tyson pre and post prime?

Phenomenal talent that while intelligent was fragile of mind. Pre and post prison. Was always going to come unglued, that’s why they had him fight so often. My assessment is simple, he’s the most overrated fighter ever. And my favorite to watch.
