Who's prime is more overrated ?

You seriously have issues with not giving fighters credit. And I never said Berbick had Larry in trouble. You don't need to have someone in trouble for it to be a competitive fight. Larry started off in cruise control, but **** changed in the second half of the fight.

I don't give anyone credit when it isn't deserved. Accolades from me have to be earned. The real world isn't an egalitarian utopia where you get credit for "trying".

Pink - A druggie who squandered his talent
Undefeated Mitch Green - See the undefeated Peter McNeeley
David Bey - Out of shape club fighter
Greg Page - Out of shape most of the time
John Tate - An over-hyped never-was

"Promising" doesn't feed the bulldog: You don't get points for potential (or misplaced perception of potential). You get points more making something of that potential. As for the Berbick fight, I've HAVE watched it and at no time was Larry in any kind of trouble. He could have won that fight on cruise-control.....which he practically did.

I love that Poet

I will have to remember that one when someone brings up where a fighter was ranked before getting his ass beat down.

lots of hypocrisy in this thread from Poet, and lots of people here kissing his ass afraid to hurt his little feelings. the guy bitches about tyson's fans overating his competition, yet he babbles on about the 'greats' Louis beat.

he bashes Mike for winning his first belt from Berbick, yet he never mentions Louis winning it from Braddock, a guy who got his own belt from the biggest clown in boxing. But because there's a movie about Braddock that automatically makes him an all time great, so it's all right.

many people who are eating Poet's bull**** on a solver plate should read what he had to say on Galento. I mean the guy has the nerve to say anything about tyson fans overating their man, please.

Poets the biggest Internet warrior if i ever saw one. He says he has no time for nuthuggers yet he's the one who comes into threads and begins flaming everyone with his jokes about 'ass' and '****'.

how people respect him is beyong me.

Get off the crack and actually watch some fights Junior. Tyson was no danger at anytime of being the GOAT.

Poet

Meant to say the greatest heavyweight of all time. Are you going to sit here and tell me that while you watched Tyson during his prime you weren't thinking that he could possibly be the greatest heavyweight ever? I did, and know plenty of others that feel the same way. And for the record, I have studied boxing for a long time. obviously not as long as you though, you are pretty damn old lol. no offense

Poet is being a bit harsh on Mike's competition i must admit, but by the same token i get the feeling he is doing it because Mike Tyson fans are so deluded and infuriatingly biased.

There is an excuses for everything Mike Tyson did or did not do, its ridiculous!

People have these ideals about Tyson that reality does not support.

Heavyweight was what I was referring to. I have every Tyson fight except for the Sims fight and I've watched them all multiple times and no at NO time did I think he could be the best ever. He may have been entertaining but the last time I checked the "entertainment factor" isn't a component of greatness as a fighter. People are too easily swayed by emotional reactions based on how well they're being entertained.

people should have their own clear head on their shoulders and not let everybody else's opinion effect their thinking. This guy Poet comes on this site to let off steam and it seems to me he's got a lot of issues.

what Mike did ultimately reflects on him and his actions, he lost the title he went to prison, he lost the money, nobody did that for him. A lot of the scum he was associated with might have influenced him into some things, but it's on him.

as far as his competiton goes, they guy is a top 10 all time great heavyweight. for any average guy who sits behind the TV screen with their belly full of beer and has never taken a slap to their face, it's easy for them to call another guy a bum.
