I love the myth of Mike Tyson. The supposedly most feared fighter ever and one of the best HW's of all time. His resume is littered with a bunch of HW fighters who were average at best and will or already have been forgotten with time. People always talk about a "prime" Mike Tyson, well that Tyson got set on his ass by Buster Douglass of all people. That's right, BUSTER DOUGLASS. The only two elite fighters Mike ever fought KO'd him without really much effort at all.
Tyson had no chin, he had no heart, and he had no stamina. What he did have was the mental fortitude of a 3 yr old.
When he lost, he didn't just lose, he got straight up KO'd.
"Iron" Mike Tyson never existed. The man is a myth.
And my post is ether to your bullshit thread....but like everyone here already mentioned... your just a hater. I did you a favor by even responding.
I'm still laughing.....

wow havent even looked at any of the comments yet but im sure there blazing this nut hugger whos probably toppin off Buster as we speak
get this clown outta here
Call it what you will. The dude was KO'd in all but one of his losses. Some people will say he just folded mentally, but at least part of that has to do with his chin.
Ok live dog....You say tyson didnt have chin but the round b4 douglas ko'd him douglas was 37-58 @64% landing with majority of those being power shots. fighting with one eye (again heart) tyson continues to get tagged. Then after getting dropped tyson is still fighting to get up and try to fight more.
then looked at the holyfield fight your talking about
http://youtube.com/watch?v=J6qEUqt9Fso
tyson gets tagged shot after shot and is still standing still wanting to fight..showing his heart and chin. THe only reason this fight ending is because the ref stepped in. Tyson was outta it during the first few rounds due to the accidental head butt but fought the whole fight on boxing instincts when most fighters woulda folded or just quit.
Then the lennox lewis fight
http://youtube.com/watch?v=a8QSbNQobYw
lewis continued to tagged tyson and that uppercut he landed earlier in the fight was brutal and tyson still didnt drop (just lowered his self but was counted a ko anyway) Lewis himself said he couldnt believe the punches tyson was able to take. Also even after the KO that stopped the fight tyson was still trying to get up and fight but the ref stopped it.
Tyson has never been KO by one shot but after repeated shots round after round. The douglas, holyfield and lewis fight were then hitting him clean almost the whole round b4 he dropped. Tyson has one of the best chins in the history of the heavy weight division. After every KO tyson was still trying to fight but the ref ended it. IM not even gonna bring up Williams and mcbride because mike didnt even wanna fight no more but was forced to by the IRS.
I heard Mike Tyson drop the soap willingly and nobody dared. What a beast. He also got his own cell because no one dared to share a cell with him.
You and I both know that Mike doesn't shower.
The Iron part always bothered me. There was no way he was made of Iron, he would have weighed over a ton. He was really just a really tough human.

This fight secured Tyson’s legacy. Beating a undefeated Champion, who has a great chin and killer right hand.
Homer didn't train for that fight bro and his trainer had just died...like 5 years before that.
You can hate Mike Tyson for what he done in the ring. But you have to love him for his personality and his quotes.
What a speech
There's nothing to like about his personality. His quotes are funny though.
