    Tyson Still A Legend In My Eyes!!

    Well As a Tyson fan I admitted to my self in the 3rd round 2night that win or lose he needs to hang em up. He looked much better against Danny Williams last year but age has caught up with him and he doesnt enjoy boxing anymore. But in my eyes Tyson is still a legend and one of the greatest to step in the ring, No one can deny that even if you hate him. These 2 fights he has lost do nothing to his legacy, he was still a monster in his prime, I had to witness this fight live and I was disapointed at how he looked in the ring. Tyson had a great career but it is now over and im happy to see him happy. He will find something to do, His name alone will get him any job that has to do with boxing. I dont think he should be fighting these big guys, I think he woulda KOed anyone his size with McBrides skills, I think he took the wrong comback path in fighting these big mother ****ers, Danny 265 and McBride 271, He shoulda went after Ettinne's of boxing and he coulda still got a huge pay day but loss to Klitschko. Well so long mike its been great...

        Dude it's over let him go and fade off into bolivian or whatever. Yes it's true Tyson was very scary for awhile when he was young and the division was pretty subpar, but just like when the schoolyard bully gets his ass kicked in front of every body else that sense of invincibility is long gone. Tyson doesn't even rank in the top twenty of all time greatest heavies, BOTTOM LINE!!!!

              I can only really agree.

              Tyson was one of the most formiddable fighters ever.

              As Lennox Lewis has stated, refering to a 21 year old Mike, "No one would have beaten Mike Tyson at that time."

              The fact is this dreadful fight should never have happened. It was only the Mike Tyson carnival show that kept the wheels rolling.

              He was clearly finished after losing to the useless Danny Williams.

              And make no mistake. Only those on the lowest rungs of the ladder lose to Danny Williams - The England Gargoyle - as James Toney calls him.

                I think hes been Done since Holyfield 2, He was still kinda young so he was able to use his talent and intimidation to KO Botha, Golota, Neilson ect... no one that good, So I think this loss takes away from Danny Williams & Lennox Lewis, because they clearly beat a old old Tyson, None of these fighters would have touched him in his youth, Tyson is probally the most disapointing fighter ever, He coulda been so much but he was never right in the head, he coulda Retired undefeated had he stayed focused and not went to jail, If he was focused he could have easily beat Douglass, So for someone to say hes not a all time great is just outta pure hatred for the man, its kinda sad that people hate him so much, but I guess thats what u get when you are Mike Tyson.

                  He would have never of beat,en the Buster Douglas that fought him that night.. That Buster was obsessed and focused from the death of his mother.. BUSTER was actually the most unfocused heavyweight of all time.. Douglas could have been an all time great with his size, speed, power, and athleticism, and hes a very intelligent man too with c ha,ra cter.. He was just lazy. and unfocused

                    if Tyson was focused he would have won, he was only there for a quick KO and the money, and he didnt train as he usually did.
