Im off to bed...so let me add this little tidbit. You can really discredit almost any fighter if you really wanted to. I had this arguement with lennox lewis fans. If you wanted to knock lennox his greatest wins came against an over the hill ****ty mike tyson, over the hill evander holyfield and several over hyped fighters in morrison, rahman, tua and others. Tysons oppenents in the 80s were just as talented as all of lennox and other good heavyweight champs not named ali & foreman.
Burbick, tillis, spinks, holmes and others were very good fighters its just tyson made them look bad. Look at roy jones jr..I remember most of those guys he mad look bad are actually alot better than what people thought they were. He mad b-hop and james toney look bad. But look at what b-hop has done post jones. Also the LHW division was a "joke" when roy was dominating it but once roy lost his luster it is actually a very legit weight class. Tyson was a great fighter and a legend. Is he overhyped...somewhat....could he have been the greatest ever..yes. His hype is mainly off potential and the flash of greatest he displayed. He was a rare figther with very great attributes but due to mental issues, bad people in his life, and his incarciration, his greatest was never reached.Comment

Back when I was like 19, 20, 21 years old, "Everybody", and I mean EVERYBODY was in a living room some where, watching HBO, and watching Mike Tyson knocking somebody out! You can say what you'd like my man, but everybody and thier Mom's watched "Iron Mike Tyson"!!!
1) The last Undeafeated and Undisputed Heavy Weight Champ.
Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Rid**** Bowe, Wladamir Klitschko, etc, etc, were never "UNDISPUTED".
2) Michael Spinks was Undefeated....say what you'd like....but never been KO'd...till...you know who!!
3) Tyson was not the greatest Heavy Weight Champ, but the dude will always be talked about for generations to come. If you did not watch Tyson in the late 1980's, you will always be bias to a one of the baddest dudes to ever lace up a pair boxing gloves. Mike Tyson will be a first round ballot into the "International Boxing Hall of Fame".Last edited by guzi815; 07-01-2008, 09:15 PM.Comment

Trever Berbick was a good boxer, he could probably take on Vladimir Klitchko.Let's look at Tyson's ****ty opposition!
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)!!!
Frank Bruno won the WBC title.
Many were predicting Micheal Spinks to win he was 31-21 and was koed in 90 seconds. Thats amazing in my book. This was Tyson's last Prime fight aswell. He fired Kevin later that evening.
"I was ****ing those Japanese girls like i was eating g****s" I don't know what that means but i guess he ****ed lots of women before the douglas fight. And he wasn't in his prime.
Holyfield is better at headbutts then that French ****er Zidane.
Prime Tyson would ass **** Lewis all the way back to London where he would be crying to the queen.
Thats what i gota say.Comment

Watched some tyson fights last night against Ferguson and Berbick.
Tyson could have been one of the Greatest Heavyweights of all time. thats by potential.
His accomplishment in the RING doesn't land him TOP 10 IMO.
He's overrated given the fact that he lost ALL read that again ALL his super bouts.
He's Top 20 IMOComment
