but if holmes was so shot for the spinks fight, how in the hell did he manage to fight on for another 20years. and give a prime evander loads of probs?Originally Posted by ICE COLD BOXING
Holmes isn't a puncher just like Ali couldn't put Norton away he isn't puncher James Tillis decked Williams twice its well known Williams chin is like glassOriginally Posted by Troy McClure
smith also murdered tim witherspoon.Originally Posted by ICE COLD BOXING
Right i see you mentioned these names about 6 times today im going to tell you little factOriginally Posted by Troy McClure
where talking prime vs prime and tysons prime, his absoloute peak was 1988. and that version off tyson would be a handfull for most. you know little in the fact that you think anyone whos not affraid and can take a punch will automatically kill tyson
and i know u think tyson only ever beat bums....spinks, thomas, williams, berbick,tubbs,smith,biggs,and holmes were not bums and yeah holmes was 38 but he still had never been koed and was never koed after that but tyson knocked him out cold,something prime holyfield couldnt do to an even older version of holmes. and spinks was a natural light heavy but he would have givin holyfield a run for his money and he ko cooney who was twice his size . so it was a good win for tyson
Spinks was natural Lightheavy only got title getting 2 gifts off a faded Holmes
Smith koed a Witherspoon who was having drug problems and bad dealings with King his head wasn't in the game in his prime he easily dealt with Smith
Pinklon Thomas had talent but he had just got out of rehab
Carl Williams had talent but his chin was badly weak
Berbick had been koed in 1 round before Tyson got to him and lost every round against Holmes
Tubbs had 2 weeks to prepare and was badly out of shape
Smith lol don't make me laugh he lost to Marvis Frazier
Biggs is like Williams had talent but his chin was badly weak and he never beat an elite fighter just like Williams
Holmes 38 2 weeks to train on losing streak and hadn't fought in nearly 2 years.
you say carl's chin was so bad, but holmes couldnt put him away?
thomas had angelo dundee and was very good, but i didnt know he just got out of rehab. so ill take your word on that one.
and where do you get this 2 weeks crap from? acording to you all tyson opponents only get 2 weeks to train for a fight?holmes and tubbs were givin sufficient time to train, they were just beaten by a better man who was in his prime!
and why do you discount spinks as just a light heavy? he was a good HW that could match it with the best.holmes had 30 rds to ko him and he couldnt!
you say tyson is overrated but you also think ALI is overrated?
just keepin it real mr icecold
And it isn't crap Tubbs said himself he had 2 weeks to train because he was a replacement i believe
And again with this Holmes couldn't ko Spinks firstly he was fading and was shot secondly it doesn't matter if he couldn't ko him he still won both fights to 98 percent of the public
Tyson is overrated Ali is a tad overrated but atleast he beat great fighters in there prime i never said Ali is overrated in his opponents i mean when people say he can beat anyone and thats ditto for Tyson except Ali beat great fighters Tyson didn't.
