Why Do People Think Tyson Is Unbeatable ??

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Holmes beat Ken over 15 Tyson would have stopped him like foreman did

And that proves what ?? Norton was never good against fast starters or big bombers but if you let him get warmed up he could be dangerous for any hw.

CC #901 BTW

Urgh i hate those situations when your both right

Its funny how a young lad like yourself 17 would be a massive fan of a fighter like Holmes who fought at his best in 70's and 80's im not critisising you good for you i would say this though Holmes had one of the best jabs ever

yea thanks mate to be honest i didn't really know much about Holmes until i ordered my Holmes career set in early 2006 and now im his biggest fan i like fighters from all different eras and believe it or not even though Tyson isn't my favorite fighter i still like putting some Tyson fights on sometimes to watch some exciting kos because even though i don't like him much still don't mean i don't enjoy his awesome kos.

Why Do People Think Tyson Is Unbeatable ??


Because they don't know what they're talking about.

[Trainer Monkey]

Im a fan of Holmes for two-fold reasons
First off,I loved watching him as a boxer,the Cooney fight is one of my faves all time
Secondly
I grew up very near Larry's home town of Easton PA
In the 70s when his career first started taking off,Easton was a freaking wasteland
Today,its actually quaint and kind of touristy
Because Larry Holmes poured tons of cash in to it,trying to make life better for the people where he grew up.

[the phenom]

Prime Tyson was unbeatable.

Tell it to Buster Douglas

Well, that was one of the biggest upset in boxing history.

That was also the beginning of Tyson's downfall.

It was the first time he fought somebody who could take a serious punch,who had reach
Tyson's whole career up to them had been carefully massaged.Theres a reason he didnt fight Witherspoon

and it was the first time he fought sum1 that had 12 seconds to get up .... he lost that fight cuz he stooped working out and started doing drugs and "fornucating" non stop now its his fault afcourse but still




o byt the way i dont think hes unbeatable i think ali couldve beat him jus cuz of alis style and amazing chin and heart .... hes not unbeatable but pretty damn good ..........legendary

You know what



Not many people tend to say that these days.
Those who do, usually get shat on from a great hight.

Shame really. I mean we sure could do with a Iron Mike in teh Heavies right now

cc back thanx bro and yeah we need sum1 like him now

I was reading some old topic and utter nonsense i was reading im sorry Cockey Cockney i like you man your one of my favorite posters but what you typed here was totally wrong.



Tyson v Shavers- Tyson KO.
Tyson v Lyle- Tyson KO.
Tyson v Foreman- Tyson UD.
Tyson v Frazier- Tyson UD.
Tyson v Ali- Tyson KO.
Tyson v Norton- Tyson KO.

So IMO he would beat them all, in his prime he was amazing.


Tyson imo is one of the most overrated boxers of all time the man didn't beat anyone really well if you think beating old shot Holmes or beating the natural Lightheavyweight who only got title getting gifts of a faded Holmes makes him unbeatable your all dreaming Tyson had good skills but when i hear this utter nonsense that Tyson had amazing defense he never got it blah blah is totally wrong the man had talent i never denied it but for people to think he is unbeatable all this other nonsense Cockey Cockney i am not having a go at you mate i was just quoting a post which i totally disagree with and i want people to tell me why they say this because when i watch him i see hw with good talent but nothing unbeatable or this aura of invincibility they think he has am i missing something or what because im just not seeing it folks i want your thoughts.

The reason a lot of people think Tyson was unbeatable was in short coz he hit so hard.

A lot of peolpe think that all boxing is ,is hit the opponent as hard as you can.They dont realise the skill involved.

let's not get things all twisted here, Mike Tyson was a very good boxer, youngest heavyweight champ in the history of the sport and he broke Marciano's KO record.

Mike Tyson had a very good offense and a very good defense


HOWEVER

The STYLE in which Mike Tyson fought was very beatable....look at Cus D'Amato's other fighters, same style, and they get beat in similar fashion.

The style was HORRIBLE vs the same people it was supposed to work against. It worked very well against SOME tall lanky fighters and vs others it didn't work at all. Also pressure fighters like Holyfield did well vs that style.

Mike Tyson was a very good fighter and he beat a lot of decent competition but not alot of GREAT competition. I think his style, his heart, and his psyche would make him vulnerable vs the greatest heavyweight of all-time no matter what their size

i agree with every thing EL-GAMO said
like him or not, tyson is an ATG and future HOFer.
leaving aside events away from the ring, in his prime, tyson must be viewed as a truly exceptional champion, A colosous who dominated his era in devastating fashion. i believe if tyson's agression and power could have been properly harnessed and controlled, he would have been the greatest off them all
