Mike Tyson: Will there ever be another Heavyweight fighter like him?

[Mr. Fantastic]

Or was he a once in a lifetime type of fighter.

Is he an ATG to you??

[ianblake]

no one like him ever

[Mr. Fantastic]

Tyson's resume is made up of a lot of bums. Look what happened when they weren't intimidated by him. lol

I don't hate the guy by the way.

These threads don't serve any purpose- each fighter is unique and has his own characteristics. It's like saying will there ever be another Ali? - of course not. What about another George Foreman? How bout another Larry Holmes?...

Its better than the "If Mike Tyson REALLY trained hard, can he be the unified champ today" threads..

You mean another heavyweight who talks about eating his opponents children? Who ****s a beauty queen? Who's past it by age 25?

Another one who gets hungry during a fight and takes a bite out of his opponent's ear? Well, Derek Chisora has done that too.

Can we stick to his skills please.

Frazier-Tyson-Povetkin?

Tyson is one of a kind. He's Jack Dempsey and Joe Frazier rolled into one and perfected.

Doubt we'll see another one of him in our lifetime. He was very naturally gifted.

Mike was a pit bull. There are others who try to emulate but they don't have the natural physique. They look like Dobermans trying to be a pitbull. It just isn't the same.

['Sugar' Freddi]

He was once in a life time fighter. There'll never be another Tyson. He made his opponents **** on his pants with his looks and punching power.

Sounds like a pissed off Klitschko fan.

You don't have to like Mike. The world around knows of his greatness, and it will be known for generations in the future.

Nobody knows Klitschko, and he won't be remembered as anything more than a boring heavyweight in a crappy era of heavyweight boxing.

Sorry to have to tell you that.

As far as mystique, and overall hype, no. I mean, any other boxer you can name that had their own video game as big as MTPO? Or as shocking an upset as being a 42-1 favorite?
