here's what earnie shavers had to say about mike tyson

[Butt stuff]

tyson without a doubt is one of the most overrated fighters in the history of the sport. right up there with duran, ali, and leonard.

I wonder who he rates above those guys.

[tonysoprano]

No offence to Shavers but he needs to shut the eff up, Mike would have whipped his ass blindfolded.

Tyson was a freak of nature and still the youngest undisputed champ ever at 21. You'll never see that again.

One punch swingers like Shavers come along all the time, talents like Tyson once in a lifetime.

[REDEEMER]

Just more crazy talk from past era guys , I mean even the history guys on here have to be laughing .

[paulf]

Shavers? the journeyman who got starched by Jerry Quarry in the first round? And lost almost every time he stepped up?

His opinion on Tyson is totally relevant. He probably thinks he could hang with Deontay Wilder too.

[Johnny2x2x]

Tyson was great, but he did come up in a bad era for HWs. And he absolutely was fed bums for his first couple dozen fights.

[BodyBagz]

Any impartial non fan boi knows this to be true.
A bunch of bums
Very few legit opponents.

Brilliant marketing of a glorified bully.

Team Tyson would avoid prime Shavers like the plague.
If Mike had to go through the guys Shavers did, he would be a journeyman as well.
