The Myth Of Mike Tyson

[ricecrispi]

every champ uses bums as a stepping stool. Not every fighter would want to face tyson if they saw what he could do.

Tyson did fight many tomato cans to get his shot but for that 2-3 years he was hungry and dangerous fighter that demolished many good fighters of the 80's fighters. Then he to for granted what he developed and overestimated how good he truly was and let all the fame get to his head. Didn't have the mental focus and stability to make a great champ

Now i know Tyson ****d someone close to Jack sabbath. Joe Louis not great, Tyson a myth, whats next? Sam Langford a bum? Go back to ******* off to Ozzy from the 70s.

[sleazyfellow]

ozzy is a myth all hisself,he cant sing for anything and shoulda stopped making music after sabbath since all the songs made by him sound the same, kinda like robbie zombi!! and tyson would phuck him till he loves it ***got!

[mgkirkpatrick]

yep of all fighters tyson exclusively fought bums early in his career. o no hang on.. everyone did. and marciano is the only boxer of all time who won his first 20 fights quicker. i hate this tyson is a myth ****. u discredit his demolition of spinks because spinks was scared of him? i say further praise to the him for making a good boxer **** himself. trot out all the statistics you want but a picture is worth a thousand words and some of us would prefer to acknowledge what we saw of the prodigy that was iron mike tyson rather than construe a tyson hate thread from as many pieces of circumstantial evidence we can find on the net.
btw this is not a **** u sabbath thing this is a conflict of opinion. speakin for myself i would take greater notice of critical evaluation of his ability as a fighter, and not the integrity of his record.

uve picked apart the paper work, now pick apart his power, his irrefutable ability to throw loaded, quick silver combinations with deadly accuracy. dispute his handspeed, dispute his ability to work the angles, dispute the intense and evasive head movement that he utilised combined with the ferocity he deployed. (obviously im talking prime here)

im serious man, im reasonable and i will listen to an objective critque of tysons boxing ability. let rip.

"i have all Tyson fights on tape",why have you all his fights, there must be something you like about Tyson
Tyson was a phenomenon, youngest heavyweight champ and prolly one of the most exciting heavyweights ever regardless
thats what puts him in the top list

The poster I was responding to was LRR who stated that at 21 years of age Tyson was an All Time Great. I followed Tyson's career since the 1984 Olympic Trials and own copies of almost all of his fights. I've seen my share of Tyson, certainly enough to debate anyone on these threads. I did my leg work, you know my position and I backed it up.

I'm waiting for you to back up your rebuttal, unless you are not up to the intellectual capabilities of "any dumbass with internet access."

** Sho nuff Hoss, we see what's dribblin' down your legwork with the "career KO losses" of Tyson's opposition. That's a pretty serious fetish you got for Tyson, but it ain't healthy.

Tyson never fought anyone as bad as Jimmy Robinson who lost almost every bout he ever had, and lost it by KO. Tyson never defended against a "Lion of Flanders" Coopman or lost his title to an amateur LH with no teeth and a glass jaw.

At an age when Tyson started winning belts and defending titles by brutal KOs, Ali was being deposited on his rump by Banks and Cooper in controversial wins and squeaking out close decisions over Doug Jones. Only one fighter in history had a comparable run of dominance and destruction before being derailed than Tyson and that was Wilfredo Gomez.

Every fighter has his weaknesses, even the great Rock, but you publishing some tabloid trash by some knucklenoggin who was beat up every day of his jr high life and had to run from the room everytime Tyson showed up to fight shows what fetid winds blow up your skirt missy.

Nice try Boss Hogg. Jim Robinson was a last minute substitute when Clay's original opponent Willie Guelat (who had a winning record) failed to appear. Jim Robinson is THE ONLY OPPONENT MUHAMMAD ALI FACED WHO HAD A LOSING RECORD.

[SABBATH]

1) WHY do you pollute EVERY single thread with your Tyson hate?

2) Are you really that keen on impressing people on this forum?

3) Why?

4) Is it just to piss people off?

5) Why would you want to do that?

Here are my answers just for you kjellho.

1) I don't. I post on selected threads.

2) No.

3) Not applicable.

4) No.

5) Not applicable.

Now no more interviews please.

[BKM-]

You got owned jack. Now please, no more ''Tyson's opponents got KO'd the most'' fetish please.

** What nitwit you have Mr. Piggy.

When Ali was 20, he was facing the likes of Don Warner who not only finished with a losing record and lost most of his bouts by KO, but only won one more bout in his career after Ali.

Tyson was busy starting to blow out the heavyweight contenders, champs, and former champs at age 20.

How's Mrs. P doin'?
