How come Mike Tyson doesn't get any credit at all for beating Peter McNeeley?

[HitmanTommy]

The guy had a record of 36-1. That is an extremely good record. McNeely was obviously doing something right. You don't get it record like that without something going your way especially in the heavyweight division. His only loss was a hard-fought 8th round KO.

Tyson was fresh out of jail and rusty, yet he ran through McNeely like a hot knife through butter.

Yet he seems to get absolutely no credit for it. Why is this?

I was watching this farce of a fight again last night for some reason. Have you ever watched it before? Look at Peter Mcneely's douchey squinty face. Then look at how bad he is. Then look at how bad the guys on his resume are. Bum beater got beat.

[LacedUp]

Because he was a bum obviously.

You could beat a lot of the guys he beat

come on that wasn't prime pete

You make me laugh more consistently than anyone on this site. Kudos.

When Petey was in his prime he was taking out killers like

Dan Wofford 15W/41L eventually retiring with 17W/102L
Frankie Hines 14W/68L eventually retiring with 17W/120L

If I decided to go pro tomorrow, having not even had an amateur fight in 10 years, and being woefully out of shape...those are the guys that are on McNeely’s resume lol

Could be the funniest thread in NSB
