Way to many times we see people write Prime Tyson on the internet, arguing "Prime Tyson" would KO anyone so let's look at some facts. The first is most the people don't even know when "Prime Tyson" was.
If you say Prime Tyson got knocked out by Buster Douglas they say he was past his prime. Then all the excuses about he had things going on or he wasn't the same after rooney etc.
He was only 23 fight Buster yet people claim a boxer was all ready past their prime at 23.
So then someone will say 86-90 he was at his prime. So the argument that he would KO anyone in his prime is irrelevant again because he went to points with FOUR boxers in that time.
Who did he really beat? Best win Spinks? Holmes was out 2 years and like 41.
I'm sure that every fighter fought before Douglas, Wladmir AJ Fury Wilder would have won them all none of them were elite. Wilder would have KOd Tucker Smith Green and Tiller.
Another fact is Tyson paid Lewis SIX MILLION as he wanted to avoid him in his prime then won his next fight and dropped the belt. Imagine now in the social media age if Wilder paid AJ SIX MILLION to avoid him if he was mandatory.
Another popular comment is 90s was a golden age and this era can't compare and they all fought each other. If i remember right Tyson and Lewis both did not fight Bowe (for whatever reason, i'm just stating the fact it didn't happen) and Tyson fought Lewis too late cause he avoided him in the 90s.
The post is not hating on Tyson, it's just trying to show the fact that i think any of Wlad AJ Fury Wilder could have competed with the top fighters of other era and M Tyson could have won then not saying he would not at all but the fact people act like Tyson Holyfield Lewis are so far better is annoying af. Imagine this era Wilder or AJ being KOd by a Mcall or Rahman they would never here the end of it. Boxers these days have more pressure with social media the second they throw a punch or a wild punch there'll be 1000s commenting on twitter and social media dissing them for every move they make it wasn't like that back then. Also wasn't as much drug testing like today so who knows what peds they could have been on then.
