    He got out boxed so many times by jabbers and has looked clueless at times.
    he was more skilled than pacquiao is now. sure pac has a better resume but he fights tailor made fights. and tysons skills were far beyond pacs.

      I have never seen anyone like that before and probably will never see anyone like that ever again.

      But yes, Manny's resume s far better than Tyson's.
      Why do you post a shadowboxing gif to prove his speed? I can get my hands moving pretty fast if I'm not throwing at anything, too, but I look like molasses in the ring. Tyson was a quick heavyweight, threw combinations with more intention than most heavyweights, but settle down a second. Pacquiao and your boy Khan are both waaaaaaay quicker p4p.

        7 Weight champ. His 154 title doesn't count, it was a vacant title which neither fighter had deserved to fight for, it was basicly given by Arum and the WBC. It was at a Catchweight. His 8th title win was a disgrace and REAL boxing fans won't consider Pac as an 8th division champ. Period.

          But Amir and Manny don't weigh over 200 lbs.

          It's like Manny having the power of a heavyweight. Unheard of.

            I respect Pac and hes the FOTD, p4p #1 now and all, but he never would be able to reach Tyson's input.

            Maybe Ill change my mine when Pac is retired.

              Resume, it is Pacquiao.

              Skills, I have to give the edge to Tyson.
              Thats a stretch. Not absurd though. People forget about Iron Mike's supreme foot speed and head movement. I still say Pac is greater and more skilled.

                WOAT thread.

                There's no way Pacquaio should be in the same sentence as Tyson...in anything.

                Skill, influence, accomplishments and even resume.

                This is disgusting. First they compare him to PBF, then Duran, now Tyson? Next month it'll be SRR

                Little ******* fekkets are ruining boxing.

                  But let me guess, Mayweather is better than Tyson?
