I'm comparing two convicts that were at their best early in their careers...I see no problem with it.

Besides their ages at the time they were at their best their careers are almost a mirror image of one another right up to their win/loss records and ko ratio.Originally posted by Benncollinsaad View PostYou comparing Tyson and Liston?Nonono! Comment

Yea, but the difference between them is that Liston went behind bars for doing something ****** as a teen and Tyson for raping a beauty pageant contestant when he was 25 and at the height of his career.Originally posted by Obama View PostI'm comparing two convicts that were at their best early in their careers...I see no problem with it.Comment

In 1955, he won six fights, he won five by knockouts, including a rematch with Marshall, whom he knocked out in six rounds. A rubber match with Marshall in 1956 saw him the winner by a ten-round decision, but in May of that year he again ran afoul of the law, accused of beating up a police officer. He was paroled after serving six months of a nine-month sentence and prohibited from boxing during 1957.Originally posted by Benncollinsaad View Post
