Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson: I Was a Killer, These Guys Are Businessmen

[Joe Beamish]

Tyson has a good point. Floyd doesn't hurt anyone because he has fragile hands and doesn't do any actual FIGHTING. He just flits around and takes little pokes at you.

Guys look handsome as hell after fighting Floyd. But that's boxing today unless you come from a former soviet country.

Tyson was an average sized HW in the 90's when he was no longer the destroyer..

Tyson of the 80's was a BIG HW with respect to his competition.

I am not talking about "height" obviously but "weight" and "build".

Anybody who considers Tyson "small" is silly.

Manny Pac is a natural bloody lightweight for Christ sake fighting several divisions higher than his optimum weight.

And Floyd would never be a killer no matter what so that's a moot point.

Well, I took a look at BoxRec.com, and it appears that you are right (at least for weight - height I did not check).

Regardless of his being carefully managed, Tyson's desire to destroy his opponent made fans tune in for the promise of his raging violence (and for quite some time his ability to deliver said goods).

Best train wreck of a fight i can remember was Tyson Golata!

Tyson made Golota quit fearing for his life. And he was correct to do so as: "it was later revealed he had a broken bone in his head, which could have pierced his brain, should the fight have continued." And he was out 3 years because of that fight.



Like I said Tyson made today's "Maywheather's" look like of bunch of pansies.

Don't know about you, but when I watch boxing, I've expectation to watch killers, rather than money grabbing businessmen.
