Max hits hard enough with that right and was skilled and fast enough to land the shots. Max knocks him out.

Tyson vs Buddy is a 50/50 fight doe.

Tyson breaks them both down and stops them much the same way he fought Ruddock.

Max could punch. Lets see if tyson can take it.

Maxie wins but not buddy

Maxie wins but not buddy

Tyson never beat anyone that stood up to him. They all beat the shit out of him.

Despite the fact you are a troll... One must begrudgingly state that this has to be considered.

When Mike fought Holy? NOBODY gave Holly a chance... Now, Holly was taught to do certain things, like push Mike back on hi heels and all... But if one were to say "lets cut out all the BS from posters like Billeau who talk about triangulation, angles, etc... and keep it simple! Holly stood up to Mike!" it would be a point well taken.

First of all Max's brother was not in the running. We are really talking about Max versus Tyson. I would recen the consensus of knowledgable boxing fans would go with Mike. It would seem logical enough...

But lets look at some of the comments here and Max with more circumspection. One poster said it well: "Max can punch, could Mike take it?"

Galento punched hard and hit Max real good, and Max took it. Of course Louis broke him in half lol.

Max was also very strong... He could certainly stand up to Tyson inside. I tend to think Tyson catches Max and wins early, but max has a puncher's chance.

Every heavyweight has a punchers chance. But Max doesnt throw in combination like Evander her have the jab and size of Douglas. He was a good sized man, but if we're looking at him from his era, and Mike to his own, Max really isn't a big guy with a jab like Buster or combinations like Holy to back Mike up.

Tyson has to watch out for the right....but is there really anything more for him to really worry about? Louis was able to evade it even though it was a trouble spot for him. As Much as I love Louis and rank him the best, I think Tyson would slip under Maxie's right and break him up to the body and work his way to the head for the ko But Max always has that punchers chance.

This is a statement you hear a lot, but it comes off as a self fulfilling, reductive, platitude; or at the very least a 'cart-before-the-horse' type saying.

Are we writing that in everyone of Tyson's victories the opponent was either clearly afraid or just fought to stay away from him? That seems a bit much.

Or is it more of an 'expert marksman fallacy' in that any opponent who beat Tyson we, after the fact, attribute it to them standing up to him.
