no there is no way tyson would have beaten ali liston (if liston actually didnt take a dive lol) joe fraiser that would be a very good fight two guys who dont back down from no one. but i dont see him beating forman. there is no way that back in those days any HW would beat any of them. i mean they were rugged didnt hold they fought something alot of the HW today dont do. but tyson could not hang with ali bc ali moves and he wouldnt be able to catch him. liston was one mean mother you know what. who again dont back down from anyone. forman was a mean mother aswell. wish there would have been an ali forman 2 so we could see them fight without forman throwing himself to a KO. but tyson would not be able to hang back in those days.Originally posted by FrankoTyson at his best was good enough to beat any fighter in heavyweight history regardless of size.Comment

He only lost to douglas because he didn't have Rooney and he barely trained, not to mension the amount of partying he did the week of the fight. He lost to Holyfield not because of the headbutts, but because he was simply an idiot the entire fight. He just threw one punch at a time the entire fight and Holyfield did not destroy Tyson by any means. Yes he knocked him out but the fight wasn't just a one sided beating Holyfield got hurt as well.Comment

Would it be similar to the way he killed Rid**** Bowe?Originally posted by oldgringoWould it be similar to the way he killed Buster Douglas?
Have a seat Mike.
Tyson KO'd Buster in the 8th. I guess you and that ref can't count. And Buster would never give Tyson a rematch, cause he know's he would have been KO'd in 30 seconds.Comment

Back in 1984, Tyson KO'd Holyfield. He knocked him clear out of the ring. You didnt know that did you? Tyson beat the crap out of him and Lewis when they spared.Comment
