    Tyson's hw reign was short and pretty weak.
    That Larry Holmes went on to beat Ray Mercer 4 years later when he was 41. You know, the same Ray Mercer that should've won against Lennox Lewis.

    It was Klitschko's reign that was a joke. He couldn't even compete in the era of Lennox.

If I recall, you pick any black fighter over a white fighter every last time, regardless. Racial bias is called racism when the shoe is on the other foot. Remember that.
      it was a huge upset because Tyson was seen as invincible, not because Douglas was trash. When Tyson was about to face Holyfield, Holyfield himself was seen as a huge underdog. 8-1 infact.

      Douglas had some solid wins, who did Purity, Sanders and Brewster beat?

          In addition, name me all of the Hall of Famers and All-time Greats that Wlad has fought on his resume? I'll wait. There are none.

          Mike Tyson has at least four of them. Which includes: Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis. Now how about Wladimir Klitschko?
          Wladimir Klitschko also lost to two potential hall of famers in AJ and Fury

          Does he get credit for that?

          I don't think beating Leon Spinks or Larry Holmes in those conditions would add anything to his resume if I'm totally honest.

          The truth of the matter is that both of those guys have very weak resumes, the difference is just that Tyson is being artificially built up whereas people are honest about Klitschko's resume.

          But one thing you can't take away from Klitschko is that he fought everyone in his era that mattered at the best time for the opponent.

          The same cannot be said for Tyson, for various reasons.

            Sanders beat Hasim Rahman who beat Lennox Lewis.

            That's a better win than any win on Douglas' resume.

              Neither could Tyson.

                  Lol yeah, that's exactly why they had fought similar opponents and Tyson got himself into a position a fight Lewis right?

                  How did W.Klitschko do against Lennox? Oh wait he busy getting knocked out by Sanders when Lewis was around.

                    Seriously LacedUp, you need to put down the computer for a little while.

                    The other day you tried merging Wladamir and Vitali as a single entity and when I rightfully called you out on it, you somehow believed that it was me who did it and not you over in this post - https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/s...5#post20546345

                    And now you're saying all this?
