85-89 tysons prime, after that he was washed up

[ZABJUDAH#1P4P]

in 1985-1989 was tysons prime.
he was trained by kevin rooney
and he was sharp. he sparred with
both holyfield and lennox lewis in the
gym during those years and whooped both
thier ass in the gym. it is well written about.
after 1989 kevin rooney stopped training him
and tyson skills started to waste. thats why
he suffered that first loss in 1990. anyone who
beat tyson after 1989 beat a washed up fighter.
between 1985 and 1989 tyson was the greatest and
no one in history can beat that technical machine.

i think washed up is to harsh a word, because he did some real good stuff after then, but i agree he was never as good as he was from 85-88.

that tyson would destroy anyone that there ever was, ali, liston, marciano, patterson, dempsey, jack johnson, lewis, holfield, etc...

i think the tyson of 96 who won the titles from bruno and seldon beats any of them also, but holyfield fouled the whole damn fight, and lewis fought a drugged up tyson.

[Slipx]

is a ****** cowardly bum

would you say that to his face?

[Kimmy]

Ha ha ha, Tyson lost to Kevin McBride. He is a ***** and would be luckly to make my top 15 champs on HW division.
Forget his name, he is a cowardly lamb!

watch the
old tapes youll see the difference.
before 1989 he was sharp. head movement
bobbing and weaving and fast combos. he stopped
doing all that after 1989.

By those standards you laid out, Mike Tyson must've been washed up in Aug of '86, seeing as how he wasn't at all sharp against Nino Ribalta, didn't use much head movement against him, nor did he throw many combinations in that fight and instead relied more on trying to end things with one punch.
