    Had a hard day, woman not giving you any?

    Chill out this is a boxing forum. I was not turning back time just hypothesizing a what if.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Tyson should've went to the body more.

    Holyfield took it better upstairs than to the body.

    ...it wouldn't have made a difference, Tyson just didn't stand a chance. He didn't stand a chance against Lewis either.


    I think the people I listed before Tyson would have had a better shot at even after prison.

    Maybe I missed Tyson avoiding Lewis. What I remember is Tyson calling him out and saying that thing about eating his children or whatever. In the ring, I saw him intimidated don't know why because he faced taller guys before and had no problems. I was expecting Tyson to just land a single punch the already-exposed jaw. Too bad, he lost.

    It was right after his stay in prison when Tyson supposedly ducked Lennox Lewis....of course Lewis didn't help his cause by losing to McCall (Tyson's sparring partner).

    I just wish Tyson didn't waste his time with such tomato cans as Cliff Ettienne, Julius Francis, Lou Savarese, Orlin Norris and Brian Neilsen.

    Right, Tyson was exciting to watch don't get me wrong but apart from an old Larry Holmes and a blown up LHW in Spinks I don't think he ever beat a true world class fighter. He IMO is overrated but like I said I used to get excited by him because of his undeniable punch power and his unpredictability.

    You don't necessarily have to beat an all time great fighter to become an all time great fighter. The fact that Mike is the youngest ever to win the heavyweight championship, went on to unify the titles, was the most famous athlete on the planet (more famous at the time than Jordan), and to this day arguably considered to be the hardest hitting fighter and consensusly hailed as the most exciting means he's not overrated. You don't attain all those accolades if you're merely overrated.
