    - - U scabbing up history priceless.

    Mike cleaned out the giant Sucking Sound that was Holmesy after after Ali, Joe, and Big George retired leaving Kenny on his last days.

    Mike beat up all the WBA guys Lar ducked and crucified Lar hisself. Mike was a record setting heavy, but he lost his HOF team through death and had no replacement whereupon the demons of his abandoned childhood returned.

    What grade they set U back in this year? U a record setting 3rd grader?

      Analyse how Tyson struggled against 6'3 230 lbs Buster Douglas*. He faced a HW who was not intimidated of him and could tie him up/outmuscle on the inside. Plus, Douglas utilised lateral movement and a long jab to walk Tyson onto uppercuts.

      AJ is terrible on the inside. But he could definitely do the latter while being far more athletic and powerful than Douglas.

      *This was in Tyson's athletic prime. Yes, he was distracted and underestimated the opponent, but he still struggled against those attributes in general.
      That list is a who's who of the ''champ for a day'' club

      Holy fck what a sad list of names. NOT ONE of them ever mentioned as a champ worth beating.
      And to include Holmes ?!?!?
      Do Tyson fans know how badly kinda prime Holmes would do to prime Mike ?
      Mike fans definitely rate him on the ''could have been !'' ''what potential !'' scale.

                  Cryson was supposed to be the baddest bully on the planet.
                  It was a good day to show how wrong that perception was.

                  Now Cryson fans want to make his list of D level bums out to be HOFers.

                  Holmes was chillin on his sofa for 2 years when Team Tyson called.
