    - - Valuev the WBA champ whoops all the WBA champs Lar ducked, so Lar ducks Valuev. Notice that shot to sheet Field fought...errr danced in front of him, but not Lar. Valuev one scary dude.

      Tubby Lar refused to fight the WBA champs, so clearly he won't fight Tyson who could mop up all the WBA champs of that era inside a month...duh...

        Larry Holmes had the best left jab in the business AND don't forget he fought the 15 rounders.. I'm not a Holmes fan but I am a boxing fan. Larry would beat Mike if they were in their prime

          yes just like the title of the thread tyson's smartest opponent.
          would they have any other option around 86- 89 tyson was perhaps the greatest in these years. smith used his smarts to go the distance. smart i make him.

            I mentioned Smith earlier, but for his strength not his intelligence.

            No doubt his tactic was smart, but it was ugly. We tend not to praise things that look ugly even if they are smart.

            Smith, said himself, in the post fight interview, 'I did what I had to do,' challengeling the announcer to offer a better solution to his dilemma.

            But since the tactic offered no possibility of victory, one can say it was not smart.

              it's like queeny here he knows he can't outwit me so he tries to just come second! but maybe james felt the judges may have seen it differently and given him the win. if you watch the full fight he did very well. We all have seen how judges can see it differently like fury wilder 1 and his last fight against that russian usek

                I watched the fight as it happened, AND I have the video in .avi format. The fight was NOT close, Smith got pounded on, and Smith was NOT trying to win.....which is inexcusable in a professional fighter who hasn't been badly hurt. Managing to not get KTFO is NOT doing "very well". If you think it is, then you're a moron of monumental proportions.
                yes i am a moron and sad and pathetic and it is clear i am a n**i who needs help. there i said it for you!
                you dont know his tactics he may have supposed tyson would tire and get him to later rounds only to find that didn't work well as he thought. It is common for boxers to try and wait and hang on till the other guy gasses out. Maybe james thought he could count on tyson not going the distance.
                If ali didn't knock out foreman history would say ali was battered. so perhaps smith had that in mind. but then again maybe i am just a sad pathetic moron who is a n9zi who needs help who you are going to ignore because it is clear i am a nasi drunk who needs help!

                  Remember what Tyson always said "Everyone has a plan until they get hit."

                  No fighter (Champion) thinks he's going to lose (save maybe Spinks) but then they have Tyson in their face. Everything changes after round one.

                  I suspect Smith was in survival mode, but not intential, as much as it being only human of him.
