Mike Tyson very OVERATED!!

[catskills23]

That's were I train and train my boxers at Buster Gym in Columbus.....he comes to the Gym regularly on the summers,we talk regularly in person and over the phone...cool guy...and no Johnny and Buster when studying the Tyson films notice that Tyson left himself open for straight jabs after hooking or right croses and they exploited that.....Buster would ahve eaten Tyson 9 out of 10 times, Johnny and Buster study that Tillis fight regularly preparing for the fight....Buster was never impressed with Tyson 's defence...

you are a delusional clown . buster proved nothing that night he beat tyson . Tyson could of being beaten by several heavyweights that night . Infact tysons sparring partners were kicking the **** out of tyson on the lead up to the fight . Tyson was 260 pounds 2 weeks before the fight and had to go on a crash diet to get to 220 pounds and you say buster was never impressed with tysons defence neither were the guys he beat up until spinks until they got in the ring with him . After the fight they all said that what made tyson so difficult to fight was the fact that it was near impossible to hit him with decent shots . Up until tyson fought buster he had never being cut or even developed a swelling . if that dosent prove that tyson had a great defense then i dont know what possibly could. And if buster felt he could beat tyson again . Why did he duck a rematch with tyson.

Let's take a look at the guys tyson would beat 100%, that were champs from the 1940's-1970's.
norton
leon spinks
patterson
johansson
terrell
ellis
walcott

Yeah he aint overrated at all if he could guarantee a win over 7 former champs from that 40 year time frame.

Yeah exactly, buster couldn't live up to the pressure of being champ and he knew holyfield would tool him so he just ballooned up as an excuse when he knew holyfield would own him.

sdouglas was bweating tyson all thwe way through!
tyson wasn't at his bwest but sdouglas on that night would have given any champ in history troble

you mean to tell me on that day, buster would give ali, foreman, fraizer, larry and lewis a fight that night?

But some ppeople still had Tyosn win that fight with the long count that Douglas received.

yes according to don king douglas was down for a good 5 mins or so!

how many fighters have we seen stay down till the count of 9 not because they are injured, but because they want to make the most of the count
douglas did not look badly hurt at all

[Tysonisgod]

stayin down till 9 is fine, but if you watch the fight, you can see the guy at ringside that starts the count from where the ref is ment to pick it up from say 3 and the ref says 1

im not saying he would win!

but buster always wasa good boxer but on the nighthe wanted it for once and he REALLY wanted it!

[The Noose]

Do you really think that Buster's win was a fluke....did Tyson fought taht fight so much different that his previous wins......Yes ...no...I don;t care.....let me know....

I never once even suggested Busters win was a fluke.
I give Buster all the credit for fighting a near perfect fight that night. But what i wanted to point out that Tyson MADE ALOT OF MISTAKES THAT HE WOULDNT OF IF HE WERE AT HIS BEST. (ive already broken down how Tyson fought this fight differently) And therefore Buster wouldnt of been able to hit Tyson so frequently. Plus Tyson would have landed more possibly KOing Douglas. I believe this is a strong possiblity.

Its just that u seem to totally ignore that fact that Tyson wasnt at his best. Having spoken or shared a gym with Buster, u come across as very biased.

Tyson unified all the belts and destroyed everybody, what else could he have done. He is one of the best ever, head to head. Damn if teofilio stevenson and felix savon would have turned pro it would have helped out the 80s and 90s but they are too dumb and communist brain washed by that prick castro.

I think if you put Dempsey in the top ten you gotta put Tyson in there. They are both very similar, and Tyson always liked Dempsey. Most people rank Dempsey around 5-7 So tyson should at least be around 5-10.
