Apply this to Mike Tyson and you might just

Did he ever have a greatest win?

I think its easy for people to discredit Mike Tyson now days because a lot of the younger generation don’t remember the Mike Tyson that counted. Tyson peaked very early because of circumstance he created himself. I would say that Mike peaked out vs Trevor Burbick fight. 1986 . He would continue to win impressive fights for several years thereafter but something was starting to happen.. A fighter like Mike needs to fight often and be in the gym a lot. In 1986 Mike fought roughly 13 fights that year ! Tyson was working out religiously and spending every moment training . He enjoyed the family environment around him , something that he had never had as a kid . Mike benefited from the discipline of the father figure Cuz.. And after his death in 85 a trend would start taking place.

In 87 Mike had 5 fights and in 88 he had 3 fights, and so on.. Less activity and no discipline equals loss. but you go back and take that quality Mike of 86 and put him in with anyone of the all time greats . and he could come out on top just as easy as anyone in history matched up against him in their prime . Guaranteed !

disagree you do forget his fights with tillis and tucker tyson was good but your seriously telling me he would beat ali prime foreman prime holmes and all others ?? i very much doubt that yea i may have not been in tyson era but from what i gathered tyson was good fighter but is so overrated to the point where it gets unreal

Not saying he would mate , I am saying he could ! He could win just as easy as those guys . Tyson at this point in time. 85- 86.. He had a support system in place that gave him that confidence and determination to win and see it through to the end . The support system and desire to train religiously. yeah Mike was F****** GREAT once upon a time ! go back and watch his fights back in 85 and in 86 13 fights that year ! that’s amazing in itself , that kind of work rate was what was needed to keep him sharp, because he had lazy tendencies and needed people around him that would jump his a**, in 86 Mike had cat like reflexes, look at the leverage with which he throws punches, his feet and balance, his awareness was amazing . and most importantly the family environment in his camp ! after that was dismantled he turned to S*** no doubt ! If you look around you still have lots of people that think Tyson was still at his peak when he fought Douglas.. he was so far removed from his prime its unreal !

good statement cc
