Mike Tyson very OVERATED!!

[Yogi]

how can a heavyweight boxer be overrated when he simply cleaned his division with brooms from hell in his prime?

How about when people say things like Tyson possessed "brooms from hell" and things of that nature?

See butterfly, i will back you up on this one cuz i agree with the views. It has nothing to do with the poster. Tyson and lennox accomplsihed more than rocky did, thats pretty much a guarntee.

Only because they fought in the past 20 years.

I think that's an accurate way of describing it.

Nope, cuz rocky padded his record so nicely. You wont hear me say tyson accomplished more than ali.

Well, actually I was referring to Johnson in that you claim he was inferior to Holyfield and Bowe, but Tyson is not because of that same reason.

Oh yeah, who cares if Rocky beat jersey joe Walcott, Archie Moore and the great Joe louis, Mike Tyson beat RICK SPAIN AND LORENZO BOYD! !

Those were not his best wins, and you know it.

Err....Marciano was never beat by a 40 - 1 underdog was he?

If we're talkng about acomplishments Rocky versus Tyson then i think the fact Marciano was never beaten, plus he beat Walcott twice, Louis, Moore, Charles. How can Tyson compare to that?

[sleazyfellow]

marciano beat wallcot twice yeah.....but the second fight definetely looked fishy to me esp. after the first last 13 rounds then bam, 1 round for the rematch and its all over...louis/moore=old old fighters by the time rocky came along, they had fought idk, since the late 30s and met rocky in the 50s? and ezzy wasnt the same fighter hed always been by the time rocky met him either, ezzy never really got back into the game since he killed that fighter in the ring, i say if ezzy are joe were in their primes for a fight with rocky they would of beaten him to a pulp....if tyson is overated then so are....marciano & dempsy, and for sure buster douglas was good for 1 night, not many fighters can say they were hw champ of the world, but he held the title for just those months leading up to holyman, not even 1 defense, therefor busta=overrated, speaking of overratedness, ali never beat anyone....so therefor overrated, and on that matter, george foreman (a bigger meaner tyson) only beat his opponents before he was overrated over by ali with meanness and not to kind words...gosh darn him!! darn you to heck foreman!
