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.
