    You think that version of Buster would beat the coveted greats like Ali, Foreman, Lewis etc.? Honestly asking.
    I think he’d have a 50-50 shot with the much smaller Ali. Ali has more speed so that one’s up in the air for me. Foreman in his prime probably beats that Buster, as I think he’s bad stylistically for him. Like a Deontay Wilder who can actually box. As for Lewis, I think he’s slightly overhyped. I think that Buster beats Lewis 2 out of 3 times. Honest answer, no disrespect.

I'm gonna say two controversial things here: 1) noone really knows what happened between the girl and Tyson except the girl and Tyson. Cause Don king apparently did not pay for quality lawyers for Tyson. Tyson has admitted he's done alot of bad things but **** wasn't one of them 2) I don't want to get caught up in the hype, but I've been hearing that Mike's white previous handlers were odd and eccentric, I'll leave it at that because I don't have my facts straight, nor do I want to Sully someone's rep.

      The night holyfield knew he would beat Tyson was when they were amateurs, everyone was scared of Mike except for holy. He knew he had the mental edge going into the pros.

      As well holyfield studied Mike. He watched Mike rip up the heavybag with destructive inside punishment. Holy said he went to the bag and tried to copy Tyson but his arms were too long, he was too tall to fire off those inside punches.

      Holy had god on his side. Every time mike hit him he prayed. I know it sounds corny but he bullied the bully. Just the fact that Mike won a title after prison speaks volumes about his strength. I think this was just the case where the better man won that night. And hey they had unfinished business in the second fight, so let's please welcome a third fight!
      Great post, and no, I don’t think what you said is corny. Highly spiritual fighters, be it Holyfield, Ali, Fury, whoever... have shown to be very tough to intimidate by a bully, whether it’s being in the ring with a prime Foreman, Iron Mike, Wilder, etc.

        Holyfield's heart was as big as they get. He was a warrior every time he fought. True champion! Very professional and consistent. He might even be greater than Mike Tyson. In many ways he is greater!

          Mike didn't know how to deal with a real opponent.

              Totally different fight, Mike was not that hard to out box, as soon as guy was not intimidated and put him on the end of stiff jab they had him.

              I thinks Mikes power and notoriety was far higher than his boxing, Mike took the head of a truck load of stiffs and a few old name HWs , his most competitive fights with top guys he lost.

              Hed beat Wilder if he could reach him, AJ would be like Buster Douglas but could get stopped, Fury too big too much movement he would just octopus Mike.

              HaHa sorry mate I fcd up your question lol.

              That Buster probably would not look anywhere near as good against the really big HWs.

                Oh yeah never underestimate a mans belief in a higher power, it can be super powerful.

                  You may not be disrespectful like most Tyson fans but you're still just as deluded if you think Busty does that well against those legends.

                  He was a glass chinned mental question mark in comparison. Buster beat overrated Tyson and the inconsistent McCall, and showed his true colors against Tucker and Holyfield. He was very talented offensively, no question about it. But he could not handle it on the receiving end.

                  Haha what the hell do you mean might be greater than Tyson? Holyfield is one of the greatst heavyweights ever, probably the most underrated. Tyson the most overrated. Evander has such a superior resume and ability in the ring.

                    - -Field the most hvy title losses in history, 10-7-2. He starts a rapid decline after Big George tore him a new one. It's in my book.
