Tyson has said many times Jack Dempsey was one of his favorite fighters, so in a sense Dempsey is the godfather of Iron Mike and deserves a lot of credit for inspiring Mike by his example and style and brutality. Dempsey vs Willard was a defining moment in heavyweight history!
They both were viewed as unstoppable forces as they climbed and both were never the same, both came up short, after a layoff.beautyistruth likes this.

Yea, they had similar runs to the title. A series of devastating early KOs.

All due respect though, I do find it sad that Rooney has been unwell for a while and might not have much time left.Ivich likes this.

A young mike Tyson was fire. But his heart and will was never tested. Once it was the real Mike Tyson showed up. A bully like Liston and Tyson are great when thing are going their way. Once there's a bump in the road, they fold like a lawn chair. I hope fans here knows that in a big fight heart and will are major factors in the outcome of a fight.tokon likes this.
