Your scorecard: 1986 bout between Mike Tyson and Quick Tillis

[jason100x]

It's been a long time since I saw this fight but I think I had it 6-4 for Tyson around the time.

i had it 6 4 for tyson. Tillis was remarkable that night. Slightly REminiscent of ali IMO.

Tillis had one helluva game plan.

The most ridiculous thing here is the TS sig. "list of great hw champs Tyson beat in their prime".

That's because Tyson was a bum.

And Tyson's not in my avatar- it's Drederick Tatum.

Why do you despise Mike Tyson?

Who is a cartoon character based on Mike Tyson, lol
I don't like Hopkins, so I tend to avoid all things Hopkins related, you on the other hand claim to hate Tyson, but seem to spend a lot of time focusing on him.

Why not focus on fighters you like, instead of fighters you dont like?

There's a character limit for posts...

He's a rapist.

His out of the ring actions were a disgrace to boxing.

His skills in his prime are grossly overrated

He had one skill-set and couldn't adapt for crap.

He was incredibly boring to watch.

He flat-out quit in matches.

He crumbled at any sign of adversity.

He couldn't be bothered to even train for a title defense in 1990.

In short, he represents the opposite of everything a great athlete should be. I respect fighters, and athletes in general, who conduct themselves with class on and off the field (as opposed to trying to eat their opponents), who train hard, and who can overcome adversity as opposed to folding up and quitting. Tyson was champion of the world in the 80s and basically just gave up on himself.

I have more respect for a club fighter who is 2-20 who busted his butt to earn those two wins, than I do for a guy like Tyson who had all the potential in the world and simply couldn't be bothered with it once things got tough.

And yet somehow Tyson convinced fanboys into believing he should be ranked alongside greats like Robinson and Greb.

Out of interest, are you an Ali fan?

Out of interest, are you an Ali fan?

Yes, although I can't see what that has to do with Tyson.

It has everything to do with it. Ali was way worse than Tyson with his out of the ring antics, not to mention his cheating in the ring
