Let’s be honest - Mike Tyson was overrated as fu.ck

[YGriffith]

Mike Tyson is a god in this sport as far as im concerned. He threw his prime years away with his rock and roll party lifestyle. But he seemed unstoppable at one point. If i am to give Joshua a solid amount of credit for beating Wlad Klitchko then i cant not give Tyson atleast the same for steam rolling Ray Mercer. Mike wasnt a perfect Boxer and as with anybody else styles make fights and his style could be exposed at times by the Boxer with the right style but i dont think he was the least bit overrated.

Ray mercer?

[QueensburyRules]

This is for people who act like these old school boxers were just out there knocking out killers.

- -We get that yer underfu.cked.

7th grade?

Tyson isn't overated. People accept his resume isn't top tier. But people also accept he was a phenomena. Incredibly quick, hit so hard, great combination puncher. Tyrell Biggs said Tyson was best He faced, not lennox
That's why he got so many kos and no-one could last around

[DaNeutral.]

Ray mercer?

LOL, sorry, i dont know where that came from, I meant Holmes.

Yeah, Holmes, Spinks, Tubbs, Tucker and Bruno were excellent fighters who were not even very competitive against young Mike. If 225 pound Lewis had fought Tyson at that time he would have been similarly dispatched.

Tyson at 19/20 was a freak. There will never be another one.

Thing is, he's viewed as throwing his own career away and declining.

Yet Fury is viewed as having mental health problems and people consider him the best with a fraction of Tyson's resume and problems.

[LZBoxing]

Tyson was not overrated in the 80s

He was slightly overrated in the 90s

He was insanely overrated in the 2000s

Holyfield was not overrated at all.

Great way to sum up his career

[Toffee]

Tyson was not overrated in the 80s

He was slightly overrated in the 90s

He was insanely overrated in the 2000s

And under rated in the 2010s by people who didn't see it.

LMAO. A flabby and sick Larry Holmes, an undersized and past his prime Spinks, pedestrian Tucker and the robotic Bruno. LMAO. Even Dillian Whyte has beaten better opponents than this.

Try again.

Everyone of them, in the shape they were in when Mike fought them, were in a class above Whyte.
