How could he have spoken about Kostya that way after quitting vs Williams and now like this in a fight he was winning?

This guy is finished...I refuse to believe he will ever amount to anything more.

I didnt see the fight, but if he cant take out Kevin Mcbride, he needs to find a new way to pay off his debt.

Im sorry for making a thread about a subject that has already been covered. Wasnt paying attention, kinda drunk. oops.

He's been done for years,I was laughing when no one gave McBride a shot...From the ESPN networks to CNN,lMFAO!and Rahman said there's no way in hell McBride will beat Tyson hahaha!

thank u for the memories tyson

He said he stopped loving boxing since 1990. I don't understand the guy anymore. Its obviously cause he dominated the ****ty late 80's brigade and holyfield showed Tyson was true boxing is all about. Disgraseful fight for Tyson, I have losts lots of my respect for him. Netherless, still the most intriguing figure in boxing history, but definetly doesn't deserve to be in top 10 boxers of all time.

WTF, Why the hell does everyone make a thread about the same thing..

Put it all in one!

**** Rick said this about 15 thousand times after every fight n u all still do it...

Iron Mike is dead.

Ummm..you're a dumbass. Now, if you would have posted this stupid little rant back when he really WAS finished in 1996, you might qualify for just being a dork. But no, you ARE a dumbass.

Tyson has been FINISHED since June 1988. Before that he was the best ever, but after leaving the Catskills with his no end of problems he turned into a walking zombie and nothing has changed since then.

I wonder how Jacks feeling right now...

loook at this quote from *********
and a desperate Tyson started getting dirty. He was deducted two points for a clearly intentional headbutt which cut McBride over the left eye. Iron Mike was also warned by referee Joe Cortez for trying to break McBride's arm

he was gettin hit in back the head all night

I think that it is tough to say that Tyson has diminished his legacy tonight. I mean, with all the stuff that has gone down since Buster, tonight is really just a little addition on that list. Tyson's career has been so strange since 1990 that you can't even be too shocked by this, it has to have gone through everyone's mind a possablity before tonight... In any event, it is kind of funny and sad at the same time.

I guess that is just my emotions speaking...but he just further shows that if any fighter in history pressured him or stood up to him past round 4, he would lose...he had more talent than most HW greats in the past and would beat them on talent alone...just not the heart

haha
i managed to get the customary v-klit vs tyson destroyer thread

hahaha and you just reaize this now???

"I don't have the stomach for this anymore," Tyson said. "I most likely won't fight anymore. I'm not going to disrespect the sport by losing to this caliber of fighters."

I give him respect for knowing when to hang it up.

Well if anyone watched Tyson since his release from prison..should of known the old Iron Mike was gone..well basically after the Douglas fight..he was gone..in his prime though..one of the most exciting athletes in sports ...PERIOD

hahaha and you just reaize this now???

nah, but I was just another Tyson hopeful...when you are a fan of something or someone...you keep sticking by them...unfortunately...

i dont think it has hurt hs legacy that much. Fat ass Larry Holmes embarresed himself way worse, Ali looked horrible against Holmes, Joe Lois got murdered in his last days (and he started wrestling), Ray Robinson was getting dominated way worse than Tyson has. So i think people still going to think Tyson was one of the best.

A lot of people now think he was one of the best Heavyweights of all time, although hes proably the most overated athlete ever. He never beat anyone good, he lost all his big fights by getting dominated. People still love him and think highly of him, so i dont think this defeat will hurt him that much. At least he went out not looking bad like ALi, Joe Lois, Larry Holmes or Roy Jones.

What planet are you living on? lol

I gotta agree with Santino here. Joe Louis against Rocky looked ten times the fighter Tyson was against Williams. He was boxing Marciano carefully and keeping him away with his jab until age finally caught up with him and even then he refused to quit. On his very worst night, Joe Louis still looked more capable than Tyson has since the Holyfield fights, and Louis went out on his shield while Tyson quit twice in a row.

Let's not even get into Holmes or Robinson. Comparing any of these guys to Tyson is a disgrace.

No matter how you want to put it, Tyson quit on his stool, with no injuries, in a fight he could have easily won. Without a doubt this was one of the most cowardly displays from a former heavyweight champion in boxing history.

Without a doubt this was one of the most cowardly displays from a former heavyweight champion in boxing history.I didn't see the fight, I just read some news accounts about it online. Could Mike Tyson "have easily won"? I got the impression that he was getting punched around pretty good and was fouling McBride a lot (head butts, low punches, and grabbing the guy's arm). If you can easily win a match, then you don't resort to those kind of tactics.

Steve

you cant call it cowardly, u werent tyson.... think of it like this, he dindt want it anymore, he was getting pissed off, and tell me, when was the last time u saw a KO by tyson after the first 3 rounds..... i mean, instead of fighting on, and probly getting KO'd again, you can jus quit on your stool, and make the same amount of money in less time.... makes sence to do it doesn't it

I agree. I'm not willing to call any boxer cowardly for deciding he's gotten pounded enough for one day--maybe even for his whole career. Any of you guys who have boxed know it takes a decent amount of courage to climb into the ring. I just hope Iron Mike will really retire before he gets himself hurt.

so sad... finally its the end for tyson now.. i hope he will live happy and stay cool...

It's hard for us die hard Tysons fans to watch. I hope this is it for him. I realy did love the guy! I've seen every one of his fights, every one. I saw his first ESPN fight, and I knew he was going to be the guy to watch. I was the only Tyson fan in the room when he took the tittle from Holmes. Had no clue he was such a fragile package mentally. He was young.. supper focused, fast as hell and more powerfull then anyone I had seen up to that time. He looked liked he was hurting people. Bad intensions indeed. Elusive Aggression. It's been a long ,long time since he's been even a fratcion of the fighter he was back then and it's been a sad, sad thing to watch. I really hope this is it for him. He could make money doing appearances at Youth Camps and Prisions if he needs money. Just stay out of the ring, Please!

tyson was the stardestroyed

tyson was the stardestroyed

lmao...... :p

lmao...... :p
classic threads like these nver take off :p

After the Mcbride fight,I vowed to never be fooled again.
The man is finished.

Life goes on, man. Just because someone did something you didn't agree with doesn't mean login and make a thread about how they're finished, AKA the 'Who Gives a ****' discussion.

Tyson was stopped by Kevin ****ing McBride at the end of his career....he bit off a piece of another man's ear in the ring..pushed around women and old men in public places..He got beaten in his prime by a guy who wasn't supposed to win..Honestly, I really don't think even if you really try to **** up Mike's rep any more than it already is, you won't get far.
