    He began his career like most heavyweights, fighting bums...

    His first step up was against Trevor Berbick, a bum who was never any good and claimed fame by beating Ali in his absolute worst shape, thus making him the youngest, most overrated champ of all time.

    Next he proceeded to defend his title against more crap opposition;
    He beat Michael Spinks, a predictable win against an opponent which started his career at SMW!!! Ridiculous I know...

    A while after, he beat Frank Bruno, somebody who NEVER became anything other than a hype-job, this is someone who NEVER got hold of a world title, no WBC, WBA, IBF, no WBO, no NOTHING!!!

    This is where the funny part comes in;
    He proceeds to get knocked the **** OUT by a bum called Buster Douglas!
    How lame can you get by losing to this kid.
    This fight showed Tyson's true colors, the public found out that he was nothing more than a one-dimensional brawler... Sad really that people buy into his knockouts, anybody can look good fighting bums!!!

    He then fights Bruno again to redeem himself, and predictably wins BUT almost gets knocked out in the process.

    Now Tyson finds himself facing real opposition! That's right, the Real Deal, Evander!!! Holyfield EXPOSED Tyson, he beat him in his own game which forced Tyson into making infamous history by cowardly biting his ear!!!
    Pathetic "champ". Don King sure knew how to hype his man alright...

    He later proceeds to beat Golota, which is known to choke in big fights, two cowards go at it and all of the sudden, Tyson is back on top again, the irony...

    Tyson ends his career in spectacular fashion by getting knocked the **** out by Lewis, followed by some more bums like Anorak's BF Williams and Kevin McBride, how the HELL do you lose to a softie like McBride for God's sake?!

    So there you have it people, Tyson is VERY OVERRATED and you've all been brainwashed by the American media, you should all feel dumb right now because you guys are the reason why a silly **** like Tyson is regarded a "good champ"

    You're welcome, I know truth hurts but it had to be said, hopefully you guys now understand and learn how to recognize good champs (not Tyson) from bad champs (Tyson)!!!

        This has nothing to do with Wlad, stay on topic!!!

        Again, if you got no argument, that means I'm right and you're wrong and you shouldn't be posting in my thread! Is that really hard to understand?!
        Am I asking for much?!

            I love Tyson as a fighter but you do have a point even though I really hate to admit it.....

            Tyson did have weak opposition but that wasn't really his fault. He cleaned up the HW division when he was just a kid, 18-20 years old. He captured the HW title at 20, something that will likely never be achieved again.

            Mike Spinks "beat" one of the greatest HW's of all time in Larry Holmes. I know those losses were very controversial. Tyson could have been one of the greatest but after Cus died, he just didn't have the focus.

            This has been hashed out numerous times but Mike Tyson still remains one of my favorite fighters of all time. Whenever he faced top guys he lost.

            His story is tragic...

            Even though you think this, you can't deny that he was one of the most exciting HWs to ever fight in the ring...

                Ironic...

                      Did he have potential?! Definitely!
                      Is he overrated?! Hell yes!

                      I can't get over him losing to Douglas and then stepping up to Evander and getting stopped, which later resulted to ear biting?!!!
                      That's pathetic, he's an overrated fighter.
