Yea another Tyson thread..

Dont get me wrong,Tyson was great,but he was great for his era. The the serious super heavyweights came along,and he got exposed quickly. And even thats not really faulting him,Joe Louis would at best size wise be a cruiserweight in this era because of his size and natural build.

This is all bullshit, Mikes prime may not have have been long, he fucked it himself by not giving a shit.

he did have an impressive reign though, he had 4 years of dominance, more than Holyfield, more than Leiws, in that Lewis longer reign came after a KO defeat, Mike was seen as invincible and ive read but not seen myself that writers were saying Ali could be knocked off the top spot.

When Mike was doing what he was told he was a very dangerous man to face, even Holmes said Mike was very difficult to land on and quicker than he expected.

No other heavy fighter had all Mikes gifts, those combinations with the speed and power, he was amazing to watch, he could avoid shots, he had shit hot reflexes.

Mike on form could have beaten any other fighter, any fighter.
