Mike Tyson is the best

[Verstyle]

I'll re-post what I posted in another thread. I hope this will finally silence the critics.

This is Mike Tysons career.
Lennox Lewis hammers and beats up Tin Mike twice: When both were 17 and when both were 36.

James Tillis actually beats Tin Mike, age 19, but loses the decision because of a deducted point.

Evander holyfield hammers and beats up Tin Mike, age 36, twice.

James Douglas hammers and beats up Tin Mike, age 24.

So Tin Mike gets hammered and beat up at every age: 17, 24, and 36. Great all-time champion this Tin Mike. Yeah...right!!

Out of the total of 34 rounds Tin Mike fought with Douglas, Holyfield, and Lewis, Tin Mike won, and this is stretching it, maybe 3 rounds. One of the greats. Yeah...right!!

Tin Mike had no footwork, no defense, no heart, and couldn't throw a combination. The only asset he possessed was power. And his marketing team marketed that one asset to the hilt to the gullible public. And they bought it hook, line, and sinker. And sadly, some of them probably still do.

In conclusion, Tin Mike fought when the heavyweight division was arguably the weakest division in history. If Tin Mike had fought in the 1960s, he wouldn't have been
rated in the Top 10.

Therefore, Tin Mike Tyson is the most over-rated fighter of all-time.

For god's sake, his amateur career was 16 and 5. Tyson was prone to crying before fights, and it was reported that when Lewis beat the piss out of Tyson in the ams, Tyson kicked him out of his gym.

Is that enough for you?

one more thing for the boy that doesnt know facts for **** about tyson. that wasnt his amatuer record your not even close. tyson only lost three times in amatuer.and when he fought lennox in sparring they said cus had to stop it cause he was beating hims up. even lewis said before he went pro that he really didnt wana fight mike again.(cause at that time he was already a champ)

p.s. do me a favor and look up some facts on tyson before talkin **** about him and lookin like a dumb ass.hahahahaha

that dude doesnt know what he's talkin about. he even said he didnt have any combinations. ****IN MIKE WAS KNOWN IN HIM PRIME FOR COMBOS!!!!!!!!

He showed alot of defense against the club fighters he fought in the 80's, but when he fought guys with pulses he got the piss beat out of him as shown first by Douglas WHEN Tyson was in his prime. There is NO arguing about Tyson losing to Douglas for his first professional loss. He was in his prime.

Tyson wasn't with Rooney during that time. His new trainers teached him different methods, the bobbing and weaving defense was scrapped. Think about it, it's like training a pitbull to kill for 10 years then trying to teach it to behave!
