Tyson vs Biggs amateur

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

They never fought, no

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

And, CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF. Tyson was far more than an average amateur...Mike Tyson was a very accomplished amateur who score wins over NUMEROUS other top rated amateurs

[xEDDIEx]

is it true that Tyrell Biggs defeated Mike Tyson in the amateurs?

he also beat lennox lewis in the amateurs

[The Surgeon]

To my knowledge they never fought as amatures but Biggs got a spot on the Olympic team and won gold, Tyson failed to get a spot bieng beaten by Tillman and thus resented Biggs and made him pay in the pro's, even making him cry during the fight apparently lol!

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

They did have at least one common opponent in the amateurs...Al Evans of Chicago..anyone want to guess how those two fights turned out?

Go on then what happened? Tyson KO 1st round and Biggs KO 3rd round, Wild Guess!

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Biggs won a very clear decision over Al at the 1983 Sports Festival...and Evans stopped Mike (rsc-2) at the 1982 U.S. Championships

whoa!!!! Mike Tyson got stopped in the amateurs by a guy who became a virtual nobody in the pros and ended his career on a 4-6 record? that is stunning.

[-Swizzy-]
