    Muhammad Ali and mike Tyson

    Just curious how many international boxers these two actually fought? Many people say Don King protected both of these guys by just feeding them bum U.S fighters and fooling u.s into thinking they where fighting the best out there. The only international boxer that I know Tyson fought was Lenox Lewis and he exposed the supposed top boxer in the world. Where the pre 2000 heavyweight boxers in u.s protected by promoters like Don King vs international talent? Post 2000 heavyweight boxing has gone more international, and as a result you had guys like klitschkos and other international boxers taking over heavyweight division.

    A guy who is a shell of himself and at the end of his career doesn't get "exposed".

      Troll much? Tyson had nothing left against Lewis. How about when he killed the UK's Bruno, twice?
