Was Carl the truth Williams Mike Tysons best win?

[Tatabanya]

The Botha fight was Tyson at a very low. I remember how he tried to break Botha's arm out of frustration. Still Tyson got the KO in style.

He was mentally wrecked already. Right after the Botha fight he was arrested and put in the slammer for nine additional months for assaulting two motorists...

That ko was lucky. Botha stepped into a right hand Tyson threw blindly.

It was brutal that's for sure.

Better watch that video again, man. Tyson aims that right with the worst intentions.

Jessie Ferguson, Marvis Frazier, Trevor Berbick, Pinklon Thomas, Larry Holmes, Tony Tubbs, Frank Bruno I and 2, Michael Spinks, Truth Williams, Henry Tillman, Alex Stewart, Razor Ruddock 1 and 2, Buster Jr., Bruce Seldon, Francois Botha, Lou Savarease, Andrew Golota, Brian Nielsen and Clifford Etienne were all ferocious performances with little left to be desired.

Tyson was a buzzsaw.

Jesse Ferguson was a journey man lol

Tell it to Ray Mercer.

Right on all accounts, except the Botha fight. Tyson was literally sucking until he found a perfect right hand to save the day.

On the other hand, not many people remember that Alex Stewart had given a prime Holyfield hell just one year before getting annihilated by Mike in a couple of minutes or less. That was one of the best versions of Tyson ever, if you ask me.

Alex "The Destroyer". He also gave Big George Foreman the worst beating of his storied career.

Tell it to Ray Mercer.

The reason everybody knows who Tyson is but nobody knows who Mercer is, is precisely because he was erratic and lost to bums like Ferguson One fight, then had disputed decisions against Lewis in another fight

Did you know????....

That in a 24 year, 62 bout career, Frans Botha never, ever beat a ranked (top15) Heavyweight?
Not even one.

A few Draws, Briggs, Etienne, An overturned NC, Schultz. Beat a couple decent pros, Pannell, Guy, Bostice; but nobody beaten from the top 15, ever.
A split nod over Timo Hoffmann was the closest he got.

After he was all used up, he did manage kickboxing wins over 2 of the 5 best ever, Aerts & LeBanner, aided by injuries, and one over Thai great Kaoklai Kaennorsing, during his post boxing K-1 foray.

What makes this unusual is that his promotion kept him semi-relivent dispite this absence of quality wins for almost 17 years!!

He served as Joseph Parker's 5th win victim.

Just an oddity.
