Mike Tyson vs Rocky Marciano

[Hawkins]

Yeah, if he was completely back. But what the heck are you getting at? lol

I'm not sure anymore.

****, now I'm confused.


Oh now I remember LOL You can't just 'morph' in and out of your 'prime' because of your mental state. If thats the case there some fighters that are in and out of their prime on a regular basis.

Maybe we should just agree to disagree. Agreeable Optimus?

What is an athletes prime? Its the years in an athletes life where their body is at its physical peak. Peak reflexes, peak reaction times peak recovery etc.
It's generally between the ages of 22 - 28 I believe.

Your right about that but for me I also look at the human part of boxing, which is the mental aspect. Everyone else does too but I won't hold that against you, only when we get in these types of debates. lol

On a sidenote, I'm not trying to use it against you I'm trying to understand exactly what the hell you're saying LOL

Well, you sure have a funny way of putting it. lol

You can if your as screwed up as Tyson. LOL

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

Just for the record, I'm cracking up here every time I submit a post. LOL

I'll bet most objective *cough*cough* Tyson fans would agree that Tyson was in his prime when he tripped and fell over Douglas

Just for the record, I'm cracking up here every time I submit a post. LOL

Same here.

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

I like that. We should use that for now on. lol

[Hawkins]

I like that. We should use that for now on. lol

Hey I don't know about you but as I watched that fight unfold that night I was speechless. Seriously, Tyson was my hero back then and I was stunned. Even now when you think back about it it still seems unreal. Especially considering what a pedestal Tyson was on compared to everyone else.

My biggest let down ever in terms of watching a fight.
Just for the record it is my greatest prediction ever and I won a lot of money on that.

It was such a let down because I couldn't get anywhere to watch the fight.
I had to wait till the following morning and watch a re-run which is better than nothing. So there are me and three mates and we sit down and turn the tv on, and whatever was on was just finishing and were all talking about what we think the result will be and the guy that introduces the programs say's something like and coming next a chance to see last nights fight and the biggest upset in boxing history. I'll never forgive him or the tv channel for that as long as I live. That was an important part of history and I missed out on watching the greatest upset ever unfold. I won a lot of money on that fight, but even if I had won £20,000 I'd gladly swap it all just for a chance of watching that fight with out knowing the result before hand.

So YOU were the guy that bet on Douglas to beat Tyson?

Well, like the ****** fanboy I was, I bet with my school buds on Tyson. Most of them didn't watch boxing and most didn't like Tyson because he was so popular. I lost about two weeks pay from McDonalds back in '91 because of that fight
