Comments Thread For: Haye Explains That He Never Saw Mike Tyson Overcome Adversity To Win

[joe strong]

I don't ever remember Haye ever coming back when he faced adversity. Klitschko, Thompson & 2 Bellow fights he faced adversity in all 4 & never mounted a comeback. I guess Haye never watched the Tyson/Botha fight. Botha was shutting him out into the 5th until his bravery caught up to him. Botha was never afraid to go to war in a fight he was heavily outgunned in. He tried to stand in & exchange with Tyson & he got laid out. There was plenty of rounds left but Tyson was getting outboxed. Just like Wilder Tyson could end any fight with 1 punch... I forgot he did actually get off the canvas to beat Mormeck...

Did you read the article or just posting because you read the headline? I don't think David Haye is putting himself as one of the top 5 heavyweights in history.
Or you're just taking a run at Haye for fun?

I read it but I thought I'd take a little shot at Haye. All in fun... I think Haye was a good CW & decent HW. Injuries were his toughest opponents. I think Tyson was a great HW but those years in prison took away from his prime years. After he got out he took easy fights & was no where near ready to fight Holyfield when it did happen. McNeeley, Mathis Jr, Bruno (who was ready to retire) & Seldon. He vacated the WBC belt so he didn't have to fight Lewis so he could fight Seldon for the WBA strap. Holyfield fought Cooper, Holmes, Bowe 3 times, Moorer & Mercer during the time Tyson went to prison up to their first fight...

Haye was shot, old and injured in both Bellew fights.

However I get what you’re trying to say.

By this logic, Deontay Wilder is the greatest fighter of all time because he never wins a round until he knocks them down or out

I'd watch Haye vs Tyson..

By his logic, this is true!

Haha fair! I agree with all of this.

I have always felt that Mikes footwork deteriorated over time. Speed, power and head movement have always been there for him. He wasn't getting the same looks anymore and opponents were finding him easier because of his feet.

I don't remember ever seeing a heavyweight in history get stopped twice by such a light HW like Tony Bellew

There is no video footage of Mike Tyson that exist, where he just disappears and gives up in a fight 'It is a myth that needs to stop, I have stated it many times before? People tell themselves these fairy-tales to make themselves feel better'.

Some people make it sound as if Buster Douglas & Evander Holyfield just had to turn up and throw afew punches to make Mike Tyson disappear 'Tyson never gave up fighting against ether fighter'.

Floyd Mayweather has never really overcame adversity to win, Tyson Fury has never really overcame adversity to win. None of these fighters have been miles behind on the cards needing a stoppage. Once Tyson Fury starts dropping rounds he will struggle to find a way to win 'I have zero idea why Mike Tyson has this stigma'.
