Mike Tyson is the best

[Dirt E Gomez]

what i don't is people who purposely obliterate ta fact that ta Tyson that Holyfield or Lewis fought is NOWHERE near ta prime Tyson was knockin out basterds wit one punch in round 1s and 2s. No way in hell Lewis past 5 rounds gainst 80's Tyson.

That's crazy though. Tyson was over the hill too early, is that Lewis and Holyfield's fault? Hell no. In their primes they still would've beaten Tyson. If you reign at the top for 2 years, that doesn't mean ****. If a mediocre fighter in Douglas can outbox an almost prime Tyson, imagine what a prime or even over the hill version of Lennox Lewis could do.

THe fact that a "prime" Tyson only existed for a handful of years is why I would never consider him an all time great. The man was washed up well before he shold've been, and it's nobody's fault but his own.

Why does most people think that Lennox Lewis and Holyfield beat the real Mike Tyson? The Mike Tyson they fought was not the real Mike Tyson of his early 20s. You go to jail for 3 years and try to be Champion that once he was. He fought Evander and Lennox for the money not to be champion. I know Tyson would knock them both out if they fought a prime Tyson. Lennox and Evander fought a Tyson that did not had much movement.What do you think?

muhmmad ali did it, if tyson was the greatest, he would have too

i wish tommyhearns803 were here to shut all tyson lovers up.

The thing which always makes me giggle is the fact that people can always claim Tyson was too old when he fought Holyfield and Lewis.... WHat people fail to neglect to mention is that they're both older than Tyson himself.

I want videos of you giggling with your shirt off.

[fistlegend]

hahaha.

mike tyson burnt his energy up TOO early

[PBDS]

You can't call Tyson the best because He did not beat the best. It's quite obvious his jail sentence hurt his career badly but there is only speculation that he could of been the best ever.

...Buster Douglas flat whiped his ass long before he got sodomized in prison and if he and Holy had fought in their primes the outcome would have been exactly what it was post ass drilling for Aluminum Mike.

What do I think? I think that's crap, an excuse.

The fact is Lewis and Holyfield is older than Tyson when they fought and it's not their fault if it true that Tyson is no longer at his peak as you were claiming when Tyson fought them.

Tyson is the best?

[The Fix]

tyson beat nobodies for most of his career, everytime he stepped up to fight the best he lost.

who did he beat?

exactly, Tyson didnt beat anybody good when he was in his 20's. If he was so great why did he lose to Douglass?? and that fight wasnt a lucky punch or bull****, he got his ass beat the whole fight.

You can say Tyson didnt do good cause Cus died, well thats Tysons fault he wasnt strong mentally.

Exactly.

To beat Tyson you need a jab like Holyfield and Lewis clearly showed. Even in the Holyfield vs. Tyson fight Holyfield controlled the fight on the inside and roughed up Tyson.

It is only speculation that Mike could of beat Tyson and Lewis when he was in his supposed "prime". It was all mental for Tyson, he had the physical capabilities to be one of the best ever, but he never went through adversity and it showed.

Case closed. (I hope).
