I think vitilia prime beats prime tyson

[Mr. Invincible]

That wasn't Tyson's prime. If you didn't have an agenda based opinion you would stop using that as a crutch.

How was 24-25 years old not his prime? Did he lose his prime between that fight and the fight prior?

Your the one with the agenda making you delusional.

[Mr. Invincible]

Shut up about rboin givens & cus, it's getting boring!

I didn't agree with that part, I was agreeing with him partially agreeing with my post.

It was but he was just heavily under prepared and out of shape.

Depends your definition of prime.

In hypothetical matches I just assume "prime" means when said fighter looked the best. Which for the Douglas fight was certainly not the case when it comes to Tyson.

So in a hypothetical match-up using the Buster Douglas excuse is ******.

Thanks for the rational backup.

Why is that? Lol, he was a 40-1 under dog and was almost considered the greatest upset of all time.

Who says prime is proportional to age... Physical prime and actual prime are not the same thing.

Although the Lennox timeline is debatable the vast majority of boxing experts agree with the Mike Time line.


So in short, Mike just never had the heart or motivation, that thing about him being wayyy pass prime is just bull****

So, to you he lost his prime just before the Douglas fight? Got it.

How convenient, lol.

What looked so terrible? His physique? I think not. He was in shape, weighed the sane he alsays had. If he wasn't mentally there and lost, it has nothing to do with not being in his prime. That's an excuse for him and a copout.
