    No, only well known Klitlicking alts like yourself think that.

      No kidding; we would also need a dictionary by Mike to understand them.

        Not only would Ali, Frazier, Foreman and Norton not be at the top of today's division they would be "effortlessly stomped to the bottom"

        Imagine Pulev, Ruslan Chagaev and Tony Thompson stomping these guys to the bottom of the division.

          The adjective is DOMINANT. Just something to bear in mind the next time you capitalise a word in a thread.

            Thing is with Holyfield is that he had this yo-yo effect of winning titles and than soon losing them and winning and losing again. It minimized any hope of him ever being a long reigning undisputed American champ.

            Bowe of course had s h i t ty training habits / dedication, which in so many words you already mentioned.

            This in turn only left us with Michael Moore, Shannon Briggs and later Chris Bryd which all turned out to be more bust than **** killing the American Heavyweight landscape.
            Byrd was probably the best of the bunch, actually. Very underrated heavyweight.

              Wilder is still an enigma to me. He'll either be exposed badly or rise to the occasion with a vengeance. I hope for the latter since I enjoy watching him fight, but his choice of opponent thus far leaves a lot to be desired.

                  He came with the Rocky type story that the public would also eat up. Also hearing he became the youngest Heavyweight Champ was probably something to witness.

                      Mike Tyson's resume is not 'thin'. He cleaned out every possible challenge when he was in his prime. He couldn't have beaten any future opponents at that time.

                      Besides, Mike Tyson is hyped today because he was an absolute sensation. Nobody has taken guys apart like Mike did since.
