Title: Would a prime Tyson dominate the Heavyweight Division Today?
Post by: Whiskey on July 16, 2013, 11:18:06 AM
 I don't keep track of the heavyweight division so no idea

Would Tyson be too small now to dominate or are they all a bunch of tomato cans?

Tyson would of dominated most, but the Klitschko's would've gave him trouble. I still think a prime D'amato era Tyson would win, but it would be tough. Tyson had a bit of trouble with tall fighters, and didn't fight many tall good fighters in their prime.

all the distractions in todays world must have an effect or take it's toll. It's not like Tyson or Ali had to worry about checking facebook. They must have been more focused back then.

with Cus D'amato, probably, without NO CHANCE.  Boxing kind of sucks today and much of the wind has been taken out by MMA.  The only fight people would really want to see is Mayweather vs. Pac and that's not going to happen.

prime tyson with cus' would destroy todays heavyweight division. The K brothers are tall and do have good jabs but are to S L O W, tyson would/could get inside of their reach advantage and throw combinations that would destroy them within 3rounds.

but we are talking about prime tyson, the tyson who threw 2-3 punch combo's, not the 1 punch looking for a knockout tyson after cus.

No, he wouldn't.  To short.  His career would follow a similar track.  His fighting style can't be prolonged for long.  Tall fighters would keep him at bay with the jab or smother him until he tired which won't take long

Douglas caught him unprepared.
Holyfield got inside his head and he was frightened of Holyfield.
Holyfield said "Tyson has never been in a fight", he always had the advantage of having people who were scared of him in the ring.
After Holyfield he was finished.

You're crazy if you think the young, hungry, angry, Mike Tyson would have had any trouble at all with the Klitschko brothers. One body shot and either of those two Russians would fold like a cheap tent.

He'd still have problems with the Klits bros. Wlad would tie him up on the inside, and he's much better than Mitch Green and Tony Tucker. Vitali not easy to deal with either...good chin, power and big as well.

This. People dont realise just how good he was at his absolute best, there hasnt been another like him. Forget his size compared to the freaks like the K's, Fury (the only time ill mention them in the same sentence) etc. Tyson IMO is the best fighter ill ever see in a ring, he always managed to get inside and destroy people and i dont see anyone being able to handle him at his peak.

tyson was brutal but so much of his game was based on beating the guy mentally before they got in the ring

if he couldn't do that he had problems

holyfield was a prime example

lewis would have beaten tyson every time- which is why mike paid him money to step aside

tyson was a destructive puncher- his combinations were good but at 5'10 ish againt a big 6'5 lewis i couldn't see him doing anything other than getting caught

The Amato-trained Tyson was throwing 4-5 punch combos to the body and forced his opponent to drop their hands. Nobody from any era could handle that kinda hurt.

The Tyson a couple years after Amato was a whole different fighter. Impatient and poor foot work.

In his prime Tyson moved a lot more, Cus pretty much trained him from childhood to fight tall fighters, I think Vitali would have given him problems due to his rugged style but Wlad's jabbing can get predictable and he has a glass jaw , Mike would have caught him.

If they used Time-Travel and transported a 13-16 year old Tyson to the present, i'm sure he'd be training both Wrestling and JJ right about now, becoming a Huge Threat at 24 years or age

If Tyson was Born 20 years ago, who knew how he'd turn out? Maybe he'd go the way of Melvin Goodrum instead, wearing rose-tinted glasses and starting a webshop called Excalibur Fatness instead?

Going back to the earlier era's - Liston beats Mike, Marciano beats Mike, Louis beats Mike, I think Dempsey puts Mike down also. NONE of these guys would have feared Mike and were all ferocious. I know some of you guys will jump on me for Marciano, Frazier and Dempsey but they all had what it took to beat Mike- it was possible they could have won .

Tyson was exposed as being a GOOD fighter no doubt - but the GOAT in his prime? You must be joking friend. Yeah Marciano had a weak era also, but if you put Mike in the ring with real "killers"-Dempsey. Marciano, Frazier- he can be beaten . Heck, James Toney would have given Mike headaches all night too.

You better bone up on your boxing knowledge friend and be objective in your analysis of fighters. Tyson NEVER WRECKED A GOOD FIGHTER or showed he had heart, that is where he falls short. COULD he have been the GOAT if Cus hadn't died and he had proper handling- maybe

 We will never know because as someone else said we can't find a time machine and use it

 We will never know because as someone else said we can't find a time machine and use it

Just my opinion

OK,  I am not a Tyson nut hugger mostly for the same reasons you mentioned: He never showed the ability to come back from adversity; he was a bully. He peaked early in his career. His skill set deteriorated significantly and many of his fights were won before he even stepped into the ring because of the intimidation factor. However he had alot of strong points and when he was  still hungry he was impressive as hell. My opinion is objective and my boxing knowledge is a sharp as they come.

So here it goes- Marciano and Dempsey both wieghed 180's 190's their opponents were in the 180's and 190's too. Neither on ewas ever in with a guy as big, as fast and as strong as Tyson. Tyson would steamroll both of them. Dempsey benefited from old style boxing gloves, which were really nothing more than leather gloves, very little padding. Most of Dempsey's biggest opponent was Jess Willard who was a BUM and its pretty well known that he used loaded gloves for that fight. He also benefited from old style boxing rules and after he was champ he wouldn't cross the color line, So him fighting Tyson is a moot point. That aside I don't know how many fights you've watched from 1910's 1920's but the skill set was incredibly lacking compared to what we see now.

 As far as comparing competition goes, Marciano benefited from beating champs who were all far past their prime.  Not a single one of his best wins came against a prime opponents: Charles, Louis, Walcott. In fact Charles and Walcott both came very close to beating him. Not to mention he was Dropped by Archie Moore. Now outside of Moore, Louis, Walcott and Charles his only other big fight was Roland Lastarza. He was a slower, smaller, weaker version of Tyson and he actually faced weaker competition.

Tyson had trouble with guys bigger than him. Dempsey and Marciano don't qualify neither does smoking Joe. A Smaller, slower weaker version of Tyson. Aside from that Frazier was a one trick pony, he came forward throwing the left hook and if that didn't work he was fucked.

Those guys were all great in their own context, their own times, for their own reasons-just like Tyson

Now Foreman, Ali, Liston yes they would all give Tyson a loads of Trouble.

Otherwise its quick hook combos to body/head = going down like big trees.

Tyson would beat Wladamir. Vitali would stand a good chance of winning.

The young, angry, homicidal, Tyson would fold both Klitschkos with body shots within 2 rounds.

I think you fellas are forgetting how nasty his initial onslaught was in Tyson's earlier fights.

Was Tyson better earlier or was his competition easier earlier. Klitschkos are quality heavy's Vitali more so than Wladamir, who is over rated IMHO. Vitali is big enough, strong enough and tough enough to give anyone a hard time. I doubt he would double over in two rounds.

Yeah.....Trevor Berbick was big enough, strong enough, tough enough, and a HW Champion that was going to show the "smaller" Mike Tyson a thing or two when they fought.

Check the video of that fight out when you get a chance.

I've seen it. I watched it LIVE. Berbick was always a TOMATO CAN. Nobody thought Berbick was going to teach Tyson anything. He was a 6 to 1 underdog.

 Aside from that you can't possibly be comparing Berbick to Vitali. Really? Vitali is 6'7'' at 250. Berbick was 6'2'' and weighed 2 pounds LESS than Tyson at 218.

Neither Klitschko brother is remotely close to being top ten all-time.....so why all of a sudden does anyone think they could defeat a prime Tyson? In fact....both K Brothers are soft, Tyson would cruise through them IMHO.

Berbick was HWT Champion when he fought a 20 year old Tyson. It was a comparison where people contended that Tyson would lose to the "bigger" fighter.

Ok, your opinion sucks. You don't know much about boxing. Stick to Hockey Fights.

 I didn't say the Klitschkos could defeat a prime Tyson. What I said was Vitali would give him and anyone else trouble because of his physical qualities and his toughness.

Berbick was the SOFTEST and least credible of the HWT champs at that TIME. He was the first one Tyson beat. He had to go through TUCKER, SMITH and SPINKS to get full recognition. BERBICK was the weakest of that group. Now that I bring it up both Tucker and Smith went the distance with Tyson and both actually rocked Mike when they finally threw a fucking punch. And SMITH was hardly more than a fringe contender who got lucky to win an alphabet tittle.

NO ONE thought that Berbick was going to win. Yes, there was some speculation that a taller fighter could give Tyson trouble. Berbick was still lighter than Tyson. And a huge betting underdog.

Where on earth do you get that VITALI is SOFT.

I can't stand how these Tyson nut-huggers just gobble up his cock and know nothing else about the sport and history of boxing.

The Klitschkos would not be able to absorb Tyson's punishing bodyshots. Their hands will drop and they won't be able to catch young Tyson. His footwork was superior to anything the Klitschkos have shown. Boxing is all about footwork. The Tyson that fought Lewis fought like a statue. Anyone who boxed a little could clearly see the sharp decline in Tyson's footwork post-Amato.

Prime Tyson would have had a chance with Wladmir only because Wladmir is a little chinny.  I think the post Manny Steward version of Wlad does what Lennox did to Mike.  Vitali Klitchko is a bad man.  He is mean as a rattle snake, supremely confident and has a granite chin.  He would stand up to Mikes early onslaught, fight back and punish Tyson for however long Mike could take it.

Yeah, the prime Tyson who quit trying to win against Tony Tucker and Bonecrusher smith once they punched him in the face.  Lennox, Vitali, Evander and any other skilled competent heavyweight with any self believe and wasn't afraid beats Mike.  Your hanging on to a fantasy that was long ago exposed.

He should really learn about Sonny Liston.  Mike Tyson is a great heavyweight.  Possibly top 15-20 all time.  But, he was a poor mans Sonny Liston.  Sonny Liston went through better fighters than Mike ever did and in devastating fashion.  But then he ran into a young fellow by the name of Cassius Clay who wasn't so bad himself.  If Ali didn't come around when he did, who knows if and when Sonny Liston could have been stopped.

A very interesting interview gives insight to Mike's heart, he never had parents that guided him. Cus took him in guided him to world champion when Cus died all down hill. Don King stepped in. Pigeons are his freedom from this world they don'y judge him. A great fighter that was thrown into a crazy world and did not know how to deal with it.

Majority of those tremendous KO's of Tyson's came from tomato cans!  They were hand picked, to assemble the record and KO ratio.

Never forget the legend Mitch "Blood" Green, going the distance with a PRIME Tyson. 

TYSON FIGHT
After a comeback win over Percell Davis he lost a ten round decision to Mike Tyson in 1986 on HBO, in his most famous fight. In the build up to the fight Green had complained bitterly of the disparity in purses between him and Tyson when a day before the fight, Green learnt he was being paid $30,000 to Tyson's $200,000. He threatened to pull out of the contest and Green finally settled for being released from his managerial contract with King's stepson Carl in return for his short purse. Green put up a stubborn showing during the fight where Tyson was unable to hurt or put down Green, but did at one point knock out a gold tooth which landed in front of writer Phil Berger.

If Mitch was a better fighter and his head was on a bit straighter, he would've gave Tyson trouble. It also illustrates how important the intimidation factor was to Tyson, Green wasn't afraid of Tyson as much as others, and you can see it flusters Tyson a bit in the later rounds.

Dont underestimate 'Enry's 'Ammer, Cooper could bang. Ali was out for the count and by rights lost that fight by KO, but we know what happened thereafter.

Beak, what is your opinion on the great Harry Greb? A small man who would willingly fight anyone of any size. If Herol Graham had a chin he would have beaten everyone in his division and would have danced rings around some of the heavyweights today even as a MW. The division is so poor.

Tyson's abilities set him apart, but if there had never been a Dempsey, an Ali, a Foreman or a Liston then there would have been no Mike Tyson. IMO he mirrors Igor Vovchanchyn, an undersized guy that smashed fighters far bigger than himself through raw power and ability. Tysons prime was something i will likely not see again, i cant help being a fan because i liked the way he fought. Im not talking about a career Tyson, im talking about the incredible finished product he was before he lost his way to drugs and poor choices. That isnt a big window of appreciation but by christ he was the best HW boxer ive ever seen.

Greb was pound for pound one of the greatest fighters ever. Up there with the best of them Robinson, Armstrong and Pep. He fought just about everyone from welter to heavy. Had something like 300 fights and was stopped once or twice. The only man to ever beat Gene Tunney. Greb was truly a great fighter. Probably top 3 IMO.

Too much false information here.

1) Lennox retired becuz of Vitali? I don't know where to start. Prime Lennox was 10x better than prime Vitali. Old uninspired Lennox was still better than prime Vitali. You cannot debate this.

2) I watched Lennox vs. Tyson live. Around this time I was training in both TKD and boxing as hobbies. I also remember I betted a lot of money on Lennox despite being a Tyson fan. The media made Tyson out to be this beast but a lot of us guys who understood boxing knew Tyson was a shell of himself. I believe at his best, Tyson would KO Lennox. However, if Tyson couldn't KO Lennox, Lennox would win the decision.

lewis was 37 and had had 44 fights. that was why he retired.

the idea he retired because of him is laughable. lewis beat him when he had no interest and trained like a bum.

Clean copy of the Green fight (starts 22 min in) -

.

If Mitch was a better fighter and his head was on a bit straighter, he would've gave Tyson trouble. It also illustrates how important the intimidation factor was to Tyson, Green wasn't afraid of Tyson as much as others, and you can see it flusters Tyson a bit in the later rounds.




Mitch Green was courageous in this fight, but he took a lot of punishment there. I wouldn't use this fight to discredit Tyson. He was impatient early on and was never really known for his endurance in later rounds. But Tyson outclassed Green there and delivered a beating.

But it does show that Tyson would have trouble with a real top class tall fighter if a decent journeyman like Mitch could stay in with him like that. Tyson is a great fighter, but it is hilarious how some think that he'd walk through the Kiltschkos, and especially some of top names of the 70's that were mention more recently.

Speaking of Green, someone should square him away and get him a color commentary job. It would be a train wreck, but the man know how to play to the camera -

Too much false information here.

1) Lennox retired becuz of Vitali? I don't know where to start. Prime Lennox was 10x better than prime Vitali. Old uninspired Lennox was still better than prime Vitali. You cannot debate this.

2) I watched Lennox vs. Tyson live. Around this time I was training in both TKD and boxing as hobbies. I also remember I betted a lot of money on Lennox despite being a Tyson fan. The media made Tyson out to be this beast but a lot of us guys who understood boxing knew Tyson was a shell of himself. I believe at his best, Tyson would KO Lennox. However, if Tyson couldn't KO Lennox, Lennox would win the decision.
  Bullshit . LL was at his best or close to it and VITALLY was coming off shoulder and back surgeries . The LL stories are BULLSHIT . He held the title hostage until the VITALY KIRK fight and then bowed out . FACT he retired because of VITALLY .

1) Lennox was a champion for a long time. He was 38 or something like that. He had fought plenty of boxers better than Vitaly. To say he retired becuz he was scared of Vitaly is ABSURD.

2) Yeah most boxers are in their absolute prime at 37, 38. Sure.

3) Nobody forces you to  take a big fight while you're dealing with shoulder and back injuries. You have the option to not accept the fight or delay until you're 100%. Come on son we all know how boxing works. Don't make excuses for the guy who lost.

vitali was actually up on the score cards, in the fight with lewis, it was stopped on a cut

i didnt say vitali would destroy tyson, but i think  he would have given tyson a good fight.   tyson was always my favorite fighter, im being a realist here

his prime was from 85-88  he was never the same fighter after he defeated spinks he went into a decline after that fight.

mike tyson squandered a great talent.  im not sure he could have beaten a prime george foreman either.

no he wasn't

a demotivated lewis who had no one left to face put in a half arsed performance against Vitali and still stopped him

lewis was 37 and had had 44 fights. that was why he retired.

the idea he retired because of him is laughable. lewis beat him when he had no interest and trained like a bum.

I agree with you whole heartedly.  Vitali is still a bad mofo.  No shame in losing to Lennox who is an All Time Great.

You're a low life man. I can tell you all about Kronk Gym. It would be your first real boxing lesson. But you are too much of a low life to listen. I can tell you, you wouldn't last 2 minutes in Kronk Gym with your attitude. Fuck you wouldnt last 2 seconds from the walk from the street to the front doors of the Gym.

You come on here and say something ridiculous, like "Vitali is soft he would fold over in two rounds." You get called out on it and rather than debate it with boxing knowledge, you respond like an angry drunk woman by repeating yourself constantly with "Fuckwhit" "Whiny Kunt" "Cawk" etc etc.. Because you act like a woman, I'm sure you whimper like a bitch evertime you get hit. So just remain a fan because I can tell you aren't meant to actually fight...Hockeyfightfan. Hockeyfightfag.

If you want to know PM me. I made the walk everyday from my house, about half a mile. It's in a neighborhood that you and fightfag would never even dream of walking down the street. If you stepped out of your car. A Hobo would whipp your asses before you even got to the gym. The area is so dilapatated now My house is now burnt out and Kronk Gym is vacant and was striped out by crack heads a few years ago. I trained there in the mid to late 90's.

Hmmmm fifteen years ago when I was training there. I didn't think to myself "Someday I'll be on get big arguing with a couple of children. So I better take pics"...I wasn't a tourist or a FAN like you two assholes. I was actually there fighting and learning how to box. This was prior to modern smart phones. Picture phones weren't for a few more years. So it wasnt as common for people to snap pictures every two seconds like it is now.

I'll tell you what....You can call the modern Kronk Gym, it relocated to east Dearborn. The head trainer is Sugar Hill. I know him really well. We worked together for a long time. You ask him if you don't believe me. He's Manny Stewards nephew.


Arguing with you assholes is frustrating because I have to teach you first so you can even understand. Back then, if you walked into Kronk Gym to train and whipped out a camera and started taking pic's, you would have been laughed out  of the gym.

I trained with Toney even longer ago...1992 he was maybe 16-0 and he was a fucking asshole. So no there aren't pic's. Im sure thats hard for you to imagine. But no in 1992 cell phones weren't common, camera phones didn't exist, tablets were not even hought of.


Why don't you take a picture of your fucking brain because I am beginning to wonder if it exists.

I never said I fought for kronk gym asshole, I never wore their banner across my trunks. I trained there. I sparred there. I practiced there. I wasn't there with the hopes of going pro you dipshit. I was a grown man had a full time fucking job. I started boxing in 1990, I fought a few exhibitions. I fought an exhibition at the diamond gloves in Ohio. My last exhibition was in 1994. I didn't go to Kronk until several years later...Why the fuck am I explaining any of this to you. You're just a loser who can't even grasp stepping foot in a boxing gym because you are nothing more than a fanboy. Fuck your life must be miserable.

You pretending to know about Kronk gym is a fuckin joke, like I said you would be scared shitless just to drive through the neighborhood. By 1998 when I trained there I was in my late 20's asshole and working full time. I did it to be able to handle myself, stay in shape and because I loved boxing. Golden gloves and diamond glove tournaments are for teenagers. Not grown men asshole.

Why in the hell would I have to lie to you? Why in the hell would anyone have to make this up?

The Kronk recreation center was just that a rec center run by the city of Detroit. The gym was hardly even a gym. It was a boxing ring, 2 or 3 heavy bags. A staionary bike and a few slanted wooden planks to do sit-ups on and a bicycle-like machine but the peddles were for yout hands. It was in the cellar of the rec center..Verry small space. More neighborhood kids went there to play basketball than box.The hot water pipes ran across the top of the gym and were exposed. It was always hot as fuck down there. In the late 90's Kronk was a fading name in boxing. Manny Steward became a trainer for hire and Arnold Hill was starting to run it. Steward came by only every once in a while in the early morning that was a time slot reserved for the best fighters. The gym was covered with news articles from when it first gained fame in the late 70's. Nothing recent or modern was in there. At the time I went there, there were no name fighters at the gym. The best guy was a cruiserweight with an aweful record( Kadee King not sure on spelling ). There were a few amatuers. 1 or 2 pro;s, neither of whom were good. Nontheless there were always a bunch of young guys there willing to learn. The trainers didn't even pay attention to you if they didn't think you could be pro material. Even Hill, who was my friend, hardly spoke to me at the gym. When I would bother him for coaching he would have me stand in the corner and practice my jab. He would say, work on that for a little while and Ill get back to you. I'd be there for hours working on my jab. When I spoke to him again he'd tell me "you need to work on your jab some more."

The gym was a few blocks from my house. The fact that this is sooooo unbelievable to you lets me know what a lame excuse for a life you have.

you must have some great tales about those days at the kronk- please share them with fellow fight enthusiasts


Are you serious? or being a smart ass?

James Toney was an asshole with a true mean streak. He would drop in the gym I trained at back in 90-91. He was from Annn Arbor. But my Gym was in Dearborn Heights. He was up and comming and had a huge chip on his shoulder. This was right around the time he fought Merqui Sosa. It was on TV so when ever he came around people would stop and watch him. He came with a fairly small group of people. Anyway he would never pay his gym fee's.

One day he walks into the gym and the owner/trainer, a guy named Kelly Kroy, says under his breath "Its Toney again, he never pays his dues." Toney heard and his head perked up. Kelly tried to make a joke of it and said "James are you going to pay your dues this time?" Toney didn't say shit. He stepped into the ring to spar and he ended up sparring with Kroy, who was still an active kick boxer all though he was older and washed up.

Well Toney beat the fucking brakes off of Kelly. Kelly got beat the fuck down. He had a look on his face of pain, it wasnt like he was dazed but in actuall physical pain. Toney got out of the ring took his gloves off and left without paying his fee's again. Kelly was still on his hands and knee's.

Manny was a really nice guy. I never knew him when I trained at Kronk. I only knew him later just few years before his death. One of his fighters, William Caveman Lee, used to buy his beer at a Liquor store on Livernois St across from the police station (10th pct.) This was just a few miles north of the former Kronk gym.

I recognized Caveman Lee, he was really just an ex-con and alcoholic at this point, but he was so happy to be recognized. We started talking about boxing. Caveman got so excited because I am a boxing nut and historian we spoke about all the kronk fighters, Duane Thomas, Milton McCrory, Rick Womack. Lee had a pretty famous fight with John Locicero and a blowout at the hands of Hagler. So we talked about that. He said Manny and he were still close and that Manny still looks out for him. I didn't believe him. I didn't think Manny still lived in Detroit. So he calls Manny on the phone and hands the phone over, we start talking. I tell him who I am and where I work, I tell him I know Sugar Hill. Manny ends the conversation by offering to take me and my wife to dinner. Class act, all the way.

When I was a teenager, he lived across the street from my girlfriends house. I always wanted to talk to him then but was intimidated. We wouldn't meet until 2008.

A pub I used to drink in in London- the victoria was owned by charlie magri and you used to get a lot of the boxers in there.

I am also on good terms with John Conteh whose brother Gerry is a mate- he runs a bar called Hannahs in Liverpool. Both sound enough in fairness.

Yeah John Conteh, excellent Light Heavyweight, if I remember correctly.

Might not want to share those stories. There are some simple minded people on here who live such worthless existences that can't even imagine it might be a true story.

Tyson would of dominated most, but the Klitschko's would've gave him trouble. I still think a prime D'amato era Tyson would win, but it would be tough. Tyson had a bit of trouble with tall fighters, and didn't fight many tall good fighters in their prime.

No they wouldn't have.

I'm actually Cus Amato's son.

I trained Manny Pacquiao prior to him working with Freddie Roach. Prior to working with me, Manny's left hand wasn't good enough to wipe his own azz. Yet I get no credit for this.

I'm the reason why Anderson Silva is a legend. I showed him how to use his feet. Before he met me, dude couldn't even walk in a straight line.

I was well on my way to being a world champion in the middleweight class when I wrecked my shoulders working on my upper pecs.

You guys are all full of shit. I'm the only one who tells the truth here. Your opinion is like your azz hole. It stinks.

God damn. I can't believe how fucking pathetic you guys are. You're lives  must be void of any value or character whatsoever. Let me get this straight: you can't imagine that I went into a rec center 15 years ago and trained to box? Thats it? Too much for you to comprehend. What is unbelievable about that? OHHH wait I got it, you spent that entire time on your privileged white ass behind a computer screen jack'n off to porn, salviating over bodybuilders and trolling the internet.

 For you assholes (Che included) the Kronk gym may be something you've heard about on tv. But In Detroit it was a neighborhood rec center. Alot of people went there. Most of them were poor black kids.....You guys are fuckin losers.

You're claiming, in its heyday, Kronk Gym was nothing more than a Rec Center. You are a complete and total bullshitter.

Fuck you and the fake story you rode in on.

Let me guess....you also snapped a German Shepherd's spine and fucked a chicken too right?

Yes. From the time it started up to the day it closed its doors. It was a run down rec center. And the gym itself was the most run down part of it.

I don't keep track of the heavyweight division so no idea

Would Tyson be too small now to dominate or are they all a bunch of tomato cans?



From March '85 until July '89, Tyson was UNTOUCHABLE and UNBEATABLE. I have everyone one of his amateur and pro fights spanning from even before '85 and he was a freak. A true oddity.

vitali was actually up on the score cards, in the fight with lewis, it was stopped on a cut

i didnt say vitali would destroy tyson, but i think  he would have given tyson a good fight.   tyson was always my favorite fighter, im being a realist here

his prime was from 85-88  he was never the same fighter after he defeated spinks he went into a decline after that fight.

mike tyson squandered a great talent.  im not sure he could have beaten a prime george foreman either.

I would extend his prime up to 1989.
