tyson against the heavyweight legends

[kingfrnk]

mike tyson would beat all except ali. marciano was to slow to keep up with tyson same goes for louis, frazier would get kod in the first round foreman wouldnt land anything cleanly so thats it mike would beat all except ali.

[Markusdarkus]

Foreman style wise is a mare for Tyson and he would KO Mike. Ali and Holmes would out point him.

Prime for prime that is.

[Beanflicker]

I think Prime Mike would do well against a lot of HW legends. I think he has too much firepower for the likes of guys like Marciano and Louis, who really weren't HWs to begin with. I think he would probably knock Frazier and Ken Norton out. I'd give him a good shot against Foreman.

But that being said, I think the durable, fast jabbing and quick moving guys like Ali and Holmes would beat him.

[Trainer Monkey]

Marciano and Louis would most likely be cruisers in Tysons era,Ali would have embarrassed him,Foreman and Holmes would have kept him away until they got the big shot,Frazier would have been interesting,because it would be mirror images going against each other

This is an interview with Holmes right after Tyson smashed him through the canvas, he says Mike was very hard to hit, was very sharp and he couldnt live with him on the inside, Mike would have done the same to a prime Holmes, it might have taken a couple of rounds more but it would end with Holmes on his back.

Mike was something special, Ok Holmes wasnt in his prime but he was even further removed from that when he pushed Holyfield alll the way and beat Mercer who should have got the decision against Lewis.

No one else would ever have done that to Holmes at any point in his career

Your kidding right,Holmes had been retired for a year and a half when he fought Tyson

[ross]

18 months is fuck all, some active fighters have 18 months between fights, look at De La Hoya.

Tyson wiped his ass with Holmes and Holmes basicly admitted Mike was alot better than he had thought, he also said Mike was the shrpest puncher he had fought and that includes some top boys
He also admitted he was very hard to hit

Ha ha I win

[gudnite vienna]

lewis would of beat tyson prime for prime no doubt

[Mr140]

Man what are you talking about ross he was 38 years old dude and did not fight for over a year not to mention had 14 days to train dude. Sorry you sound like a nut hugger if you think there fight would determine how a prime Holmes would do if he was fighting and the sad part is that Tysons best win is over old Holmes. Tyson has to be the most overrated Heavyweight of all time he has a weak resume and was in the weakest era of boxing since Rocky. He never beat a elite fighter he always lost the big fights so i do not get were Tyson was unstopable maybe if he was fighting old men or complete losers. His lose to Douglas was priceless and his lose to Evander Holyfeild was even better let me just say i a Holyfeild fan because Holyfeild truly was the real deal and he showed it by beating people. Unlike Tyson who fought nobodies and then lost to the real champions and for you say he was not prime Holyfeild had bad hart condtion and was older still won.

Your crazy if you think Tyson does that to prime Holmes infact id go as far as to call you nuts.

Im a huge Tyson fan but man you need a history lesson son.

[ross]

Ah people do get upset at how Mike became the youngest ever heavyweight champ and ruined a whole division and is the only man to ko Holmes and Spinks.

Boo hoo hoo

Ha ha

Cute but wrong Tyson knew his abilties better than you do and he stated he knew he could never beat Lennox Lewis, Tyson avoided fighting a 40 year old Foreman, Buster Douglas a nobody did knock him out Holyfield knocked him out, Lewis knocked him out. Any hald way decent true heavyweight over 205 pounds and wasnt afraid of Mike Tysons hype would probably beat him. Once Tyson hit you and you didnt go down or run you took his heart.

Foreman, Bowe, Frazier, Ron Lyle, ect ect ect would of all knocked him out quick, Fighters like a prime Ali, Holmes ect ect ect would of iced him late but I will say this. No fighter pre Ali would of beat Tyson. No 180 pound fighters like Dempsey or Marciano would of made it past 1 round. No glass chin fighter like Joe Louis who was almost knocked out by a super middleweight with no punching power like Billy Conn would beat Tyson.

Tyson was ok but he was never this beast like some of you pretend he was.

[VictorCharlie]

I'd take Mike against Dempsey/Marciano/Patterson/Liston/Norton but I feel pretty certain that Foreman/Ali/Louis/Holy/Frazier/Lewis/Holmes would all win in the mythical prime v prime fights

You don't have a clue what your on about stick to Joe Calzaghe topics, the fact is Larry Holmes had been past his prime since 1983. He didn't look good against Carl Williams or Michael Spinks or David Bey. When he fought Mike Tyson not only was he coming off a 2 year lay off he also only had few weeks to train and was coming off two losses.............

When he fought Evander Holyfield he wasn't coming off a long lay off, and he didn't only have few weeks to train like he did against Mike Tyson thats the difference. Mike Tyson was good but overrated Tony Tucker was winning there fight until he broke his hand in the 4th round, and still lasted 12 rounds, Larry Holmes was special at his best and i doubt you have ever seen Homes against Shavers, Norton, etc because if you had you would know he was a shell of himself against Mike Tyson..........

I find it funny that Mike Tyson fans are happy for there boy to beat past there prime fighters, and give him credit for it. Yet when Mike Tyson loses to Buster Douglas in only his early 20s and loses to Evander Holyfield in his late 20's, when Holyfield was past his prime and also older, they make excuses for Tyson like theres no tomorrow, a majority of Tyson fans are hypocrites and these posts from you Ross prove it.
