tyson was a throw back to old fighters being active and fighting 0nce sometimes twice a month.
thats why he was successfull cause he stayed active and out of trouble. leading up to his demise, how many fights was he taking? 3 a year. that was half his problem, he needed to stay active and focussed
there it is again "hate" such an over used word...if he fought 27 times and his opponents records were a combined 386-130..14-5 avg..those are bums!!!! his management team did a hell of job promoting him that's it!!!!nothing more nothing less..yeah he could hit hard but he was in no way on the level of prime evander or lennox..they both would have beaten any version of mike....and all of these excuses as to when his prime was

"oh it was when he was convienently knocking out the bums, then when he lost he wasn't in his prime no more"

"robin givens made him sick"

"d'mato and rooney where gone so he was depressed, and forgot how to fight like he used to"

all this at only the age of 22-23...such bullshit...

he was knocking out bums until someone stood up to him and beat his ass then he didn't know how to respond to being hit back after a guy took his best shot...what a pussy and that's the truth....
