    Why aren't there more threads like Prime Tyson vs Prime Lennox Lewis, and the Tua vs Tyson thread, both better threads.

    But like wtf Marciano vs Tyson, if Gavins thinks otherwise he's pretty Naive.
    But see, you are a Tyson 'nuthugger'. Therefore I'm not sure the point you're trying to make.

      So Marciano was a bum, but Tua was not?

        FYI: That wasnt even a knock down haha!..
        How dare you compare Tyson to Louis or Ali. And yeah it wasn't a knockdown, but could still barely get up, and then he quits on his stool right afterward. But Tyson really handled himself in that fight, tried to break McBride's arm, intentially headbutted him in the eye and threw numerous elbows and forearms.

          Tyson is in the same leauge as Louis and Ali. I wouldnt know who Wlad was if it wasnt for "Iron" Mike. I owe the man.

            Tyson was a great. But he's not on the same level as Louis and Ali.

              Tua would knock the hell out of Marciano...you can't compare old fighters to new ones...

              Tua is 5'9 225-230 lbs! hit hits like a ton of bricks..Marciano would fold up like a lawn chair.

                He is. Two time heavyweight champ "Iron" Mike Tyson is an amazing man.

                  If he turned you and others on to boxing then that's great. But throughout his career, Mike threw too many intentional elbows, low blows and headbutts to get much respect from me. He gets points for being the youngest heavyweight champ ever, and for dominating a somewhat weak division for 3 years. He was somewhat average though in his second incarnation and was exposed for what he really was when he finally met really good opposition.

                    You do understand that old fighters would be a lot heavier today don't you? And I have Tua KOing Tyson , even started a thread about it.
