who could stop tyson back in the day?

[butterfly1964]

Ali, Liston, and foreman would stop him.

ay my fault my brother posted this

but to topic...
ali would clown mike tyson easily
tyson has no reach really
he boxes on the inside which gives ali's style(jumpin in to hit-jump out) an oppurtunity to jab his way to hooks
n ali is too careful to get hit by tyson(im talkin in ali's prime,not frazier flattenin em,lol)
ali would dance his way into a tko i'd say

The only person that could take Tyson in his youth and send him through a meat grinder was Robin Givens. Go figure, a woman, how many fighters hav...............Rockin'

There is a rift between Mike Tyson the style and Mike Tyson the man. Any time in his career he faced an opponent who had enough talent to beat him and who made an effort to beat him, Tyson has lost. He had lots of opportunities to go to war as did Frazier, Marciano, Louis, Dempsey and many other great fighters in the past. But going to war wasn't part of Tyson's makeup. When anybody made things tough for him he would start fighting like an idiot. What he did against McBride, Lewis, Holyfield, Douglas and many others was not what Cus D'Amato taught him to do.

Who could beat Tyson? Anybody with a bit of skill who comes to fight.

Could Rid**** Bowe, on his best night, possibly have stopped Tyson back in the day, perhaps in the 11th or 12th round?

It is my belief that if Mike Tyson had just done what Cus D'Amato had taught him to do he would have won every fight. No one he faced had the style to beat him, Tyson beat himself. "Prime" didn't have **** to do with his loses.

i totally agree wit da rounds,bowe will kill mike

[Mike Tyson77]

A year ago if someone told me there was a sport greater than football, I would have laughed untill I pissed myself. "Iron" Mike changed all that, I know the sweet science is the greatest sport. Mike is the baddest man on the planet and the greatest of all time. That's my opinion and ill stick with it. He did more in his first 5 years than most fighters do in 20.

Foreman came to my mind first...

So...

George Foreman
Joe Louis
Muhammad Ali
Sonny Liston

And james Toney
