One has to stoop low to talk to a mental midget like yourself. Please let me know when you hit puberty because clearly your balls haven't dropped yet. Until then consider yourself on my ignore list.

LOL^ he definitely showed me didn't he. He's 39 years old to, and he acts like a preschooler.

C'mon Them Apples. All boxing historians are not old geezers dreaming over the past. The fact is that today's game can be criticized and you know it. Tyson's whole career is marred with controversy, I don't care how many over the hill and subpar fighters he blasted. The whole concept of spectacle in sport has degenerated to nothing more than a money making affair. It's sad.

Don't take me to serious in that respect, I was using it for Poets sake, before he somehow ended up labelling me as an animal pit fighter..but yea

I don't think Tyson was the greatest ever, but I do think he was better than fighters from the 30's and 40's, I mean come on, tony galento and max Baer?

cheers

Max Baer was an animal. Don't just immediately throw HIM in as Tyson fodder. That SOB could knock you back into the stone age.

[Krucial]

u cant blame anyone for liking knockouts alot
but for favoring the ko artists who wouldnt last with a good boxer is ******
and in the 80's(tyson era and before) only real threats were Norten,Holmes,Mike spinks and ........... anybody know whoelse?
the guys tyson beat all beat eachother n looked bad
but tyson had had a couple good names on his record
spinks is his best win ever,holmes(of old tho),too bad tyson-foreman never happened
even in the 90's
golada was real good,tyson destroyed em

I wouldn't pay him any mind. He thinks everything and everyone before his own time automatically sucks.

The reason why Ali was so good is that he was adaptable. If one thing didn't work he could try another. Guys like Tyson and Louis were great at what they did, but they could change course if they had to. If one thing didn't work, they were sunk! Ali is different. Fastest pair of legs and hands, granite chin, great jab, size, and great conditioning is what made Ali great and IMO the greatest of all-time!

Ali said that Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest p4p and that he was the greatest heavyweight. So I guess Ali though Robinson was the greatest overall of all time
