Nah, but I use a bunch of catskillisms from time to time.

I think if Holyfield and Tyson fought in 1990-1991 Holy would've TKO'ed him still.

I disagree. There is a big difference between 1990/1991 Tyson who was active and fighting on a regular basis compared to the 1996 version who had the layoff from 1992 to 1996. In boxing laying off that much effects your timing, reflexes, ability to make a guy miss and immedietely counterpunch off that missed punch. Even though he was winning fights after his comeback his skills were not the same.

He could have stayed undefeated for a lot longer.

He would have got past Evander and Buster, Foreman too.

He would have had problems with Bowe though, he would have maybe started to naturally deteriorate by the time Bowe was closing in on a title shot.

As for Lewis, for me Lewis hit his prime in the late 90's so but even if they met up before then he would have still had problems with him.If they met early to mid 90's Tyson has a good chance. Slight edge to Lewis tho.

Incase you was wondering, i rate the Bowe that beat Evander higher than the Lewis that beat Razor but not the Lewis of the late 90's early 2000's.

Seriously though, I think that if Tyson had stayed with Rooney and had a better mentality, he would've had a great chance of beating Holyfield, Bowe, Moorer and the others who did well while he was in prison.

He would always struggle against Lewis though, and would only be likely to win if he landed his best punch on the green version of Lewis that was beaten by McCall.

However, people talk about prime Tyson as if he had great self-discipline and stability, but he didn't. He was always troubled and flawed, it's just that it got worse when he got involved with King, married cunt Givens and split with Kevin Rooney.

Still, I do think that Tyson is God.

your previous avatar was hotter. i like stripes.

Fine. After all, he could KO a gorilla with one punch. And if he fought a rhino the rhino will crumple down to the ground in a mesh of pain due to Mike's constant body attack.

Boxing history will show that fighters with the aggressive style of Tyson don't have much shelf life. Burn brighter, burn out faster.
