Mike Tyson wanted none of Jerome Labanner

Tyson vs Frazier is the more interesting fight.  That outcome would determine how Tyson would have done against Ali and others.

Tyson / Foreman is my dream fight from the last few decades. Man, I'dve loved to see that.

Tyson is the faster ,stronger  and more technical version of Frazier.

tyson shoulda invested his cash better



got vasectomy earlier

[gee38]

but tyson did not have fraziers chin or heart.

tyson was exciting but whenever anyone stood up to him and wasn't intimidated he had no plan B


thats why foreman would have killed him

tyson admitted he would never have got in the ring with foreman as he scared him

You are right about the heart part il give you that then again who had more heart than a Joe frazier, but make no mistake his chin wasnt a Problem, the uppercutt Tony tucker in Particular hit him with (lifting tyson off his feet and stopping him in his tracks) didnt faze him 1 little bit, as did None of the Bombs a then Prime Razor Ruddock landed on Tyson again...and again...and again as was the 10 rounds of boobs Buster and Holyfeild bashed him with, as for Foreman....well like anything it could be looked at 2 ways, if a Prime George Foreman landed his Hardest bombs on Tyson....of course he would more than likey stop tyson, however imo...that would be a Post 1990 Mike Tyson...and thats a maybe...if we are talking a Prime Mike Tyson imo not likey, mainly for 2 Reasons...1...George had Terrible defence in his Prime years and for every huge punch George would throw he would get back 2 or 3 in Rapid fire from Tyson, Tyson would have no problem hitting George, 2...George would find a 1986-89 Mike ALOT harder too hit than Joe Frazier, and for every punch that would miss....Tyson would again be firing back with everything on them, imo.

 i think the guy a Prime Tyson would have the BIGGEST problem with...would be a Prime 29-30 yr old LARRY HOLMES....mainly because he had @ his Best a Tighter Defence than Ali, had a Better right hand, had a Chin and Heart as good as Ali and had the smarts and ring craft too fuck with a Prime Tysons head...i rate Holmes over Ali against a Prime Tyson for 1 factor and 1 only....Defence....somet hing imo....Tyson would catch Ali out with... Maybe....as for Foreman i dont think he would have a Issue with... due too geogre coming straight @ him and his Poor defence...again Tyson never had the great Joe Fraziers heart and Determination no argument there, however he had a Better, faster, hand-speed, foot-speed, defence, harder right hand...Uppercutts...body shots...hooks 50/50 ether way, good chin etc etc

all these are just opinions @ the end of the day something we will all never agree on with anyway, im like most others here i grew up in Tysons era so naturally there will always be a slight bias towards Tyson most of us recalling watching his fights as they happened then, however too be real people saying Mike was Over rated really need too look alittle closer @ a prime version, for his time there had Never been ANYONE with his Combination of Handspeed, footspeed, head movement, Power with BOTH hands, defence...COMBINED... for a Heavyweight...that alone imo would of made him Dangerous for any Heavyweight in History...yes he fought Tomato cans....so did Foreman...so did Louis....so did Ali...so did Lewis....so did Frazier...so did Holmes....so did Marciano...in fact they ALL DID in their respective eras. the debate here isnt that Mike was the greatest of all time (the fact that he didnt come though his BIGGEST hurdles against Douglas, Holyfeild, Lewis etc) will ensure he will always be out of the Top spots, however make no Mistake @ his absolute best Tyson was Incredible like him, or hate him there was no one like him.

Mike Bison





Afraid of being sued by Don King at the time

He was namechanged to

Balrog

[Quickerblade]

Prime Tyson fought 99% tomato cans. His prime was limited, by 24-25 he was finished. Sorry he is overrated.
Watch the Tyson hightlight reels all over YouTube, all those amazing hooks and up cuts were against fighters nobody knows.
Tyson did fuck up frank Bruno. Bruno was doing the sign of the cross every 5 seconds before the fight started.
I never saw a Ali fight. I can't stand him anyhow.
Tyson was worldwide though, he let pussy and black people ruin his career.
Even Michael Jordan had white advisors.

Opinion of the fan boy. In real world Ali has better record, and Olympic gold medal. And if you look opponents of these two, Ali kick shit out of many world toughest fighters. In Tyson era, who were his toughest opponent? If you look that bunch of ass wipes he beat up, you find many guys who has won only one fight in their entire career, and lost 20 fights, one to Tyson. In his records, first ten opponents has lost more fights than win in their career. Weakest opponent of Ali has record of 9 loss and 15 wins before Ali. This of course isn't Tysons fault, more like the trend which is used also in these days. You build a reputation by beating bums, and by that miracle, you are superstar and champion  

Tyson boxed those willing to fight him. Some fighters actually called him out after fights for essentially the same stuff you're talking about. One of them was Larry Holmes, who actually beat Mohammed Ali and went night-night for the first time in his career when he fought Mike. Another one was Mitch Green, but we all know what happened to him too (got his ass whooped by Mike on the streets and in the ring). It wasn't only until Mike lost to Buster Douglas that all of a sudden people like Holyfield developed the guts to fight him.

being a professional was the furthest thing on his mind then, by the time he was 24 yrs old he was over, i think he was accussed of rape when he was 25, that was the end. As he said a bunch of times, he was not enjoying it.

[galeniko]

Would of, could of, should of

lol was thinking the same.

every champion was "overrated".

but still the champ.

mustve happened all by luck.

if they were overrated so much whats stopping the loudmouths to step in the ring and show us the ways?

i mean, ok johny falcone has called out half ufc rooster and the klitschkos, they didnt get back at him, means they scared.

but the ones coming running the mouth after the fact, this is too obvious

[kohl]

tyson was already on the downward spiral before japan and buster douglas. go back a few years before japan and see how tyson was no longer using the peak a bow double fisted sledge hammer high/low combination style that made mike iron mike. he was a head hunter for a few years before japan.

tyson prime would knock out lennox prime within 3rds. i've followed boxing - actually watched it since when larry holmes was champ. I don't know about Ali, but everyone since Ali - prime tyson could beat.
