Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson: The Klitschko Brothers Get The Job Done

[jimmy1569]

The Klits are ok but do not compare to Tyson in anyway

As for the poster that did the comparison of common opponents, Lewis BRUTALLY stopped both TYSON and VITALI let's not spin the facts Lewis destroyed past prime TYSON and nearly blinded bloodied and ABUSED PRIME VITALI.

Funny how Vitali never got the chance to destroy Mike but is somehow a common opponent of his & Lewis'.

Lewis & Vitali faced 3 common opponents...
One opponent they both ko'ed in the first rd
Another opponent Vitali KO'ED in 2 RDS.. LENNOX took 8 or 9 rds to do it
& Ofcourse Briggs WHO Lewis tko'ed & Vitali sent to the hospital... I'd say it's a slight advantage for Vitali here if you consider the hospital & medical records of Briggs... & LET'S NOT FORGET... bOTH bRIGGS & Lewis have never stepped in the ring again.. what has it been.. almost 2 yrs for Briggs.. How much rehab does he need to even get in with one of his typical 1st rd tomatoe cans. Truth is both have Vitali's fists embedded in there nightmares every night they fall asleep & can't even get in the ring with a tomatoe can/exhibition type of fighter let alone rematch Vitali Klitschko.

False.

He got outboxed by Byrd so badly, that he faked an injury and quit on his stool to prevent further embarrassment.

Outboxed so bad, he was far ahead on the scorecards....

If you think so you should love Ward and not hate him.
But winning is not everything, its how you win.

I don't think so, every time I've seen Tyson talk about the Klitschkos he has always been fair and respectful and gave them their dues, I doubt he was making a backhanded compliment this time.

BTW, I'll take Tyson's word over any of the idiotic haters in this thread any day of the week, so you can all **** off

Like i said it was a comp & self appraisal all in one... "The brother;s are successful BUT they weren't as destructive as i was in my heyday"... if you didn't read it just as i stated you better get yourself a boxing scene spellcheck & recognize. Iron Mike does respect the Brother's just because he's always been an avid boxing historian who realized who came before him & after him so i'll give him props for that.... in this article he was trying to soup HIMSELF up & there's nothing wrong with that as long as we're calling this interview for what it is & that's a spade.

He also quit and was backing up from a much smaller fighter before it ended
.

Scorecards only matter if a fight goes to a decision. Something hero worshipers don't understand.

Which makes it even worse and more disgraceful on Vitali's part. Probably already knew going into the fight that he was going to be the beneficiary of a robbery if it went the distance, but surrendered on his stool instead, because he couldn't emotionally cope with the shame of being taken to school by a blown up Middleweight.

You have no concept of fact aparently.

I understand that Vitali was easily beating Byrd and got an injury. If it was caused by missing Byrd, so be it but that's speculation at best. Vitali dominated him and you know it so stop lying.

How is Byrd a blown up middleweight when he only fought like 4 or 5 light heavyweight fights before going to heavyweight and being very successful?

Where does this blatant hate come from?

[cupocity303]

Only because he was a psychopathic convicted rapist and felon who grabbed alot more media attention for his drug fueled lunacy, wife beating, raping, assaulting etc.

But that's ok I know your type prefer to be remembered for such "cool" things than to be remembered as a PHD level educated well spoken gentleman.

Mike will be "remembered" as a rapist, felon, psychopath and moron. Klitschko will be remembered as an honorable educated champion and great role model to future generations.
