Comments Thread For: Silly Tyson Renaissance Another Reminder That Glory Days Are Gone

Berbick went 15 with Holmes and beat Thomas and Page. Tyson knocked him out in 2.

Tucker gave Lewis a good 12 round fight 5 years after he fought Tyson.

Holmes beat Mercer and gave Holyfield good work 4 years after Tyson knocked him out.

Tubbs gave Bowe all he could handle 3 years after Tyson knocked him out.

Williams arguably beat Holmes. Tyson KO 1 (early stoppage admittedly).

Tyson's sparring partner knocked Lewis out in 2.

I'll never understand people who want to tear down Tyson yet lionise the likes of Wilder.

Utterly bizarre.

You forgot an important one: Michael Spinks beat Holmes twice, Tyson wiped the floor with him in 91 seconds.

You see the names in the article... Bruce Springsteen and Ronald Reagan are talked about nostalgically. That's all I have to read to understand.

Let's not waste our time anymore, buddy.

You're right dude.

Mike Tyson haters are the worst. Tyson wasn't what this "critic" wanted him to be, so he writes this BS article. The guy probably never threw a left jab in his life. And if he did, he probably got his arse whooped.

Being a world-class fighter isn't easy. I guess this writer gives Tyson zero credit for being the youngest heavyweight champion in history. A record that still stands. GTFO

But sure enough he sang "Born In The USA" in some stadium together with the rest of the herd, as his idol Bruce Springsteen kept counting the billions he made thanks to them

That's a hater right there.
Imo Tyson can never be considered with the greatest of all times, to me that goes to Joe Louis.
But i also think 80s Iron Mike could have knocked any of those names tf out. 80s mike had speed & technique never seen before or since. It's a shame Cus passed away when he did. Who know's what Mike could have achieved.

once blacks took over Tysons career the inner ****** of Tyson was allowed to flourish

spinks laid down took the money and ran. he would have been beaten badly. Holyfield beat Tyson twice in EVERY aspect of the game. heart- skill -stamina -footwork- punching- defense

The post-jail Tyson doesn't count. He was a lesser fighter and a mentally weakened man.

In regard to Spinks, watch his eyes after he gets knocked out then come back to me with your fantasies about throwing the fight.

Hmmm, based on this logic, I guess Tysons "inner ******" was best controlled by whites. Poor black Mike Tyson really needed a white savior to help control his "inner ******". Typical white racists logic. GTFO

azzhole Spinks took Cooneys shots and holmes shots never got hurt.

Double azzhole, Holmes and Cooney evidently hit Spinks less hard than Tyson. They were both past their best when Spinks fought them, Cooney was about to become an alcoholic, Holmes had already been beaten by Carl Williams but the judges gifted him the decision.

How old were you at that time, seven? I saw those fights as they were happening, not YouTube highlights.
