    The klitschkos are crushing everyone and up and coming prospects.
    Mate, do you just make things up for fun? He won the belt in the same year that he fought Tyson, it was his first defence. Even the titlle winning performance wasn't 'dominant' he won a razor thin decision against Pinlon Thomas.

    P.S Haven't heard the one about his wife dying before the fight His mum died a month before the fight

    Well technically the two best opponents he beat were Holmes, Spinks. But i always liked his fights vs Razor Ruddock, because Razor Ruddock was a feared Heavyweight at the time. And no one wanted to fight him at that time, and Mike Tyson showed heart and a good chin in both fights.

    I know people say he wasn't in his prime in both fights, but i disagree i thought he looked very good in both fights. Especially his bodywork which made me wince just watching it.

    I say Frank Bruno and Donovan Ruddock, 2 of the most dangerous fighters that Tyson ever beat and they were in their respective primes as well. They weren't easy fights for him either, Bruno rocked him really good.

    You really are brain dead Check your own post that I was referring to. Who said anything about Trevor Berbwick's wife dying? You said Buster Douglas' wife died.

    If you are now changing your bullshit story to Berbwick's wife dying, it makes no sense in the contect of your post and even less sense considering she was at his funeral

    Agreed. Although I think Bruno 2 was a better fighter than Bruno 1, he just shit his pants and didn't perform. That fight was there for him to win at that stage of Tyson's career!!

    But looking back, I wonder why that is. I mean, obviously Holmes was past his prime but he was not terriably so. A lot of people thought he won his last fight against Spinks so he had never been defeated in a convincing manner.

    So we are left with an aging, somewhat past his prime HOFer with top-level HW boxing skills vs a young KO artist. I would've thought there would be more than a few thinking Larry could pull one out.

    But Tyson's rep at the time was off the charts unbeatable. And dominate he did. Larry had maybe 30 seconds of dancing and outjabbing Tyson. The rest was all Mike.

    Tyson's career ended badly but people forget how dominant he was. Well, we do remember but often we qualify that with the notion that he no competition. No Hearns to his Hagler. But maybe he did have competion, namely a HOFer Holmes and and an undefeated Spinks. He was just so good we assumed they were worse at the time than they were.
    Much of the reason novbody gave Holmes as chance was the way Holmes himself talked before the fight. He hadn't fought in 18 months and he said things like "I'll know how to stay on my stool."

    We always disagree about this one. Yes this is the fight I have watched more than any other fight ever but Tyson was very poor. Gone was the head movement, punches in bunches and being elusive. It was I hit you, you hit me and see which one stays up. Tyson was all but finished and wanted to get hit and hurt. Made it a great fight but poor by the old Tyson standards. Prime Tyson would make Rudduck miss a lot more and smashed him across the ring like a rag doll.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think everyone remembers holmes always carried an attitude into the ring and especially with Ken norton but where was the attitude when Tyson was hitting him?? Didn't show any aggression!! Why??

    Did anyone notice that holmes right hand got caught behind the rope whilst loading up??

    Holmes was flustered, hed never been put under that kind of pressure before.

    18 months aint that long to be out the ring. Mayweather came back after 2 and fought and beat up the fighter that most people think beat Pacquiao (but yet Mayweather is apparently scared of Manny!). Vitali came back after 4 years and smashed up a top opponent.

    Holmes has too much of an ego to not put his best effort in. The reason he took the fight is he believed he could beat Mike.

    18 months is FOREVER to be out of the ring. There are only a handful of exceptions who have thrived in history after a break that long.
