          Beat average boxers to be a great boxer? That only works if your name is Gatti.

            I consider myself a great driver and it has nothing to do with whom i've driven against. Nor do I consider myself a driving great.

                You may be used to playing silly flirting games with those whom you argue with on these forums... but take note that I didn't equate in any way the two.

                Neither did I tear down Tyson, I simply stated facts.

                Please try to be intellectual and intellegent by discussing actual things said and making points that are valid and cause one to think, instead of just calling names and making accusations.

                If i'm biased and pathetic and subsequently "extremely ******", then I obviously made statements that were invalid or untrue. Please remain in an area of integrity and common decency by debating those things which I said that you have a problem with.

                  Now taking a step back from your earlier statement.

                  You said if Tyson can be remembered as a great why not Wlad?

                  Wlad's career hasn't touched Tyson's. And to even imply that is absurd. Or to even state that Tyson's was less than stellar, while giving Wlad praise is beyond rational thought.

                    that's diffrent. THIS IS BOXING!

                    WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN BY "GREAT BOXER"?

                    Cuz there's many different meanings than that.

                      Actually I don't recall ever saying "if Tyson can be remembered as a great, why not Wlad?"

                      and again, I only recall stating things that are fact.

                      -Tyson's remarkable career that made him "great" was followed by a series of fights that were sub-par, such as a loss to danny williams. HOWEVER, this won't take away his previous acheivements, neither his status of being a "great"

                      -Wlad does have a very good KO%, but this doesn't make a boxer "great" He would have to accomplish many more things to be considered that.
