      The old version of Foreman would've defeated any version of Tyson, and any version of Holmes.
      I am not sure about either one , especially Tyson whom had a better chin and power than Frazier's , he had a worse stamina , but was Foreman's stamina good enough to test it ? I think not.
      Remember Frazier went down twice against Bonavena , Tyson would have never gone down against such (physically) a fighter , it just puts Foreman's achievements against Frazier in perspective. Frazier was also hurt early against Quarry.

          You're making the assumption that the evidence was there, something which you cant do. You have to actually bring the evidence, not assume it.

                  Alright, I change my stance they are ALL journeyman/not very good fighters etc etc

                  That Toney was 20 lbs heavier than the Toney who fought Holyfield. Either way history shows that Toney should of stayed at CW

                  He beat Peter the first time but was throughly dominated in the second fight

                  It was over with the Holyfield I fight, the fact that he didnt even seem to be that motivated when fighting for the hw championship over the world. Teddy also knew that, he then cherrypicked a 45 year old and look what happened. He would also lose badly to Holyfield as well

                  Tua is also the quickest to stop Nate Tubbs.
                  And I forgot to add Dannell Nicholson to Tua's list of stoppage victories.
                  Ruiz was stunned by a mw(jones) and koed by a cw(Haye)
                  Moorer has been koed a number of times and is a naural lhw
                  The rest of the guys you mentioned are just not very good

                  I dont rate him because he is boring, ducked Byrd, refused to give Mercer a rematch and wanted nothing to do with Vitali. The dude took Tyson to court forcing him to challenge him for his belt even when Tyson said he wasnt ready for him. He also had a chance to fight Ike as well but looked the other way. I like the way you ignored by other two points as well

                  Maybe maybe not, he was also starting to lose focus as well

                  How many fighters did Tyson stop late , and were they of any better quality than Tua's late stoppages ?
                  None worth mentioning

                  Do you think he and Freddie Roach played Street Fighter together ?
                  He was basically training himself after Rooney, he never really listened to Giachetti as shown during the Ruddock fights. Jay bright was a abysmal trainer and didn't know anything about boxing
                  Also is that the same Roach that didn't even know where Tyson was during training camp, because he was off partying all the time?

                  and a few more which I forgot against whom.
                  Only 3 of those fights were during his prime, try to focus on those

                  Dude you think you are being clever, but you are the one who doesnt know what he is talking about. How can a fighter still be prime when their skill set has serious decreased? Also are you saying because he had a lot of important fights later on in his career that means he still must of been prime?

                  Yeah lets talk about Tyson's 18th pro fight when he was still a green contender. That has a lot to do with this thread, right?

                  Out of interest tell me when Tyson was in his prime, then give your definition of prime

                  Now you are just trolling with this:
                  Tyson's skill set decreased after Rooney
                  He went to prison for 3.5 years
                  Went into prison again for about another 6-12 months.
                  Took recreational drugs and anti depressant medication between fights

                  But all of that doesnt matter because he was still 1 year younger than Lewis that never went through the same stuff

                  So because a fighter has a belt, that makes him a top fighter? Bruce Seldon was a great fighter wasnt he?
                  Originally posted by frankenfrank View Post

                  Everyone with a little functioning brain knows Tua would have devoured them.
                  It doesnt matter the facts show that when Tua fought elite fighters he couldnt ko them

                  It is impossible for you to focus on the period 86-88 isnt it?
                  Originally posted by frankenfrank View Post

                  Originally posted by -IronMike- View Post
                  Byrd was giving up over 15 lbs, what did you expect him to do, trade with a guy who has one punch ko power? Byrd basically stood in front of Tua and used his ability to slip, block and roll with punches to defend himself. At times he was against the ropes and then he would get of them and go back into the centre of the ring, where he would use his pawing jab as a range finder for his straight lefts
                  No I havent, what did you expect Byrd to do go all Hagler-Hearns on Tua? He stood in front of him and boxed

                  Also in case you didnt notice it but the thread starter was talking about Tyson from the 80's (when he was considered prime), the time period you refuse to talk about

                  I know everyone will say Tyson wins, but how?

                  Tua took everything Ibeabuchi and Lewis had and never really even looked hurt, so i doubt mike blasts him out.

                  Tua can hit as hard as Tyson can, and is fast too, he has a better chin and is physically and mentally stronger.

                  Tua will still be there late in the fight giving Tyson hell

                  how does this fight play out?

                    "Mike boxed for the first three minutes," Roach says. "Then he gave up."

                    Roach hoped that that humiliation would make Tyson train diligently. And for a while the fighter did, meeting Roach for roadwork at 5:30 a.m., showing up for every workout, scrapping his entourage. He even reperfected the left jab-pivot-left hook, a combination he used in the late 1980s when he was training with Kevin Rooney. "I was getting through to Mike," Roach insists. "He obeyed my orders."

                    A moment of truth came one day during a sparring session. In the final round, Tyson suddenly bent over and vomited. "After Mike was done puking, I told him to finish the round," recalls Roach. "He glared at me and said, 'F—- you.' I said, 'No, f—- you, Mike. Let's finish.' " Tyson did. "If you let Mike be the bully, he will," Roach says. "Don't give Mike control, and he'll give you respect."

                    For a while, maybe. On Sunday and Monday, while promoters debated whether to cancel the fight, Roach knew less about Tyson's status than a fan browsing the Web. Finally, Roach reached Tyson, who told him he had the flu and planned to pull out. The fight was dead. Roach would receive nothing. Then Tyson mumbled a few words of thanks and hung up.
