Bo Jackson thought he could beat prime Mike Tyson

[Chollo Vista]

Tyson was fighting older kids on the streets, YES he was picked on but? There was a point when he fought back, when his pigeon was killed by a bully etc

Mike Tyson was a fighter long before he got into boxing, Bo Jackson was not a fighter 'If he was this so called fighter? There was nothing stopping him from perusing boxing after he left American football'.

There was nothing stopping Bo Jackson in the 90's from perusing boxing 'He did not peruse it because he was not a fighter'.

Herchel Walker was a better athlete than Bo Jackson 'Bo Jackson was a good all around athlete, but really? Carl Lewis would of beaten him, Mike Tyson would of beaten him so people need to relax.

Herchel Walker in my opinion was the better all round athlete.

Dominic Breazeale was a D2 or D3 mid major wash out quarterback who went on to fight twice for the title while only losing to the best in Wilder and Joshua.... But Bo Jackson couldn't be like Tyson?

Tyson wasn't just beat up by older kids. He was beat up by kids his age as well... Secondly, I use to beat up kids older than me as a child? That has nothing to do with rationalizing why the kid lost a fight. He lost because he couldn't fight at the time.

Lastly, you're having a hard time processing the fact that Bo Jackson deciding to play football and Baseball didnt mean that he couldn't fight or box if he wanted too.

Bo Jackson went to college. Was boxing paying for full rides to college? Hell no. Many boxers fight out of necessity to improve their living conditions because many don't have a choice.

If LeBron James "had" to fight, I'm sure he'd be a damn good one. Look at how James moves compared to Fury.

Have you seen Tyson dance or play basketball? He was one of the most clumsy uncoordinated people you will see. What I'm saying is Jackson was a more athletic version of Tyson and could be a professional at whatever he felt like being a professional at.

Then you try and give Walkers MMA success to the fact that he took karate on the side. Well, if I take boxing on the side, does that mean I'll be able to beat at 20 something year old professional fighter when I'm 60? Hell no

Why didn't Bo Jackson take up boxing in the 90's? He did not take it up, because he was not a fighter 'Just accept it'.

Herchel Walker was also a better all round athlete than Bo Jackson, he had faster sprint times and was a Olympic Athlete 'Those are the facts of this discussion'.

Tyson Fury also appears to be very clumsy just in general, but once he is inside his environment? 'Which is the boxing ring' he is like a Shark. The boxing ring or in general the arena of violence was Mike Tyson's environment 'He was like a Shark in the ocean, a Lion in the African Bush' being able to play a game of basketball means nothing in this environment.

Or maybe he just didn't "want" to and had other options like Football and Baseball... It's hard enough playing 2 professional sports at the same time, damn you wanted the man to do a 3rd?

How was Walker a better athlete than Bo when he wasn't even as good at the only sport they both played? Not only did Bo do much better at "football" than Hershall did in the same position, but he also played another sport.

That's 2 professional sports and he was much better at the common sport while playing the same position, but you're going to tell me Walker was a better all around athlete? What crack are you smoking?

And lastly, Jackson ran a 4.13 40 yard dash, while Walker ran a 4.35 40 yard dash so why are you up here lying about football players sprint times on a boxing forum?

Bo Jackson ran a 4.13 40-yard dash

Nobody cares about 40 yard dash times 'Accept NFL players', the only sprint times that matter are 60 meter times & 100 meters times 'Herchel Walker was faster than Bo Jackson' Walker actually competed against Carl Lewis etc

Last time I checked? Herchel Walker also compete within Mixed Martial arts 'You cannot just give Bo Jackson credit for things he did not do'.

Bo Jackson is not the greatest athlete of the best 100 years.

Ok man

Peter McNeely can go 36-1, Dominic Breazeale can be a D2/D3 QB wash out and fight for the title twice, but Bo Jackson couldn't have been a boxer if he wanted too

This forum is hilarious at times

Ok man

I just think you are taking it way to far with Bo Jackson 'The man does not beat Mike Tyson'.

Anyone who has any knowledge of track and field athletics, will understand what I mean by 40 yard dash times 'They mean nothing, they are sports specific to the NFL'.

You cannot give Bo Jackson credit for things he did not do etc

Best athlete of my generation, though I think he was probably a ped cheat.

Tyson would have trashed him though.

Reminds me a little of Jim Brown and Ali.

Deion was quite the athlete too.

I never said he would beat Mike. I said Bo could do anything he wanted, but he was a more athletic version of Mike.

Show me where I said Bo could beat Mike?
