It would be the same, I'm guessing that's Tyson's prime?.. I've been trying to figure out his prime for awhile... Once tyson started to fight better fighters with better china that would punch back it was over.
You allowed to have your opinion but you out of your mind with this one, who are these better fighters Tyson didnt fight? you talking about Douglas? look at that fight man, Tyson didnt even look like Tyson and even the commentator said it...who hit him and he didnt hit back?..Tyson fought Ruddock when he was being avoided by everyone in the division... Holyfield was a great fighter and prob Tysons only real rival..but keep it funky, he was NEVER the fighter Tyson was at his best..and yes Tyson had a prime, 86-91..You can see a clear difference in the dude post and pre prison..and if Tyson wasnt as good as advertised, where was these nikkas when Mike was taking nikkas heads off? they was older then him! Up til his incarceration he was head and shoulders above everyone in the division as far a accolades and as a fighter, Holyfield included..He systematically collected the titles then beat the men they beat for the titles,unified the titles under 8 months then cleaned out the top ten...in under 3yrs he put in 9 defenses of the belt..good enough for 7th alltime...fukk outta here with that hater shyt.. ..Iron mike was thought to be unbeatable for a reason..

It's the popular thing to do now. Mike Tyson was a MONSTER in his prime and arguably top 5 HW all time for a short stretch.

Holyfield had the better career no doubt, but people really like to shyt on Tyson on here for some reason

lmao at 24 the end of someones prime that says it all

we all loved tyson as kids, but his legacy don't look all that great

Riddikk Bowe's first pro fight was in 89, he beat Holyfield the first time for the belt in 92 lmao

Tyson wanted no parts of Bowe talking about they friends

Their are plenty of fighters done by then, great fighters I might add, do ya research dummy..and i said he was done after prison retard...go back and watch the fights nikka ..nobody would be the same after spending 3yrs in prison I dont care who it is... it aint like Im making it up, it was all in the news..but if thats all you could point out in what i said..we aint got nothing to talk about, you are one of those irrational haters who try to discard everything Tyson did like it was your mother he raped in Indiana..Tyson was in jail by 92 idiot..or should Tyson should have fought him as a rookie? And Bowe said that shyt about them both being from Brooklyn ...don't quote me again unless you coming with facts dikkhead

Like who

only all time great I can think of with a short prime was Wilfred Benetiz but he wasn't getting fukked up until he was damn near 30 and he moved up weight classes, really only reason he lost

he still beat Robert Duran at Light Middleweight when he was 24, Mike don't got no win like that on his resume

And do you not agree Tyson would have had those fights had he not been in prison? All of those guys came up when he was locked up and most of them where done along with Tyson with the exception of Lewis by the time he was released..and he wouldve fought them Im sure if he had not been on lock, he was the biggest fighter in boxing and Tysons whole deal was he ducked no one and fought anyone, anyways I see you know your shyt so apologies for my language earlier

You out your fukking mind, Tyson would beat the dog shyt out of Bowe and destroy Lewis....Tysons head movement was second to none and he beat fighters with better jabs then both of them...please..

lmao you have no clue what you are talking about

the jab can disrupt that bobbing and weaving shyt especially when you fight tall

best fighters tyson beat are guys who moved up from light heavyweight

Yeah whatever, Tyson's head movement was meant to disrupt the jab and get around into bigger fighters since he was 5'10..you do know this right? most guys he fought were bigger than him..and I dont know what Im talking about, you do know that was part of his defense, head and upper body movement..Wtf?! ..you mean Spinks who was undefeated and a solid 212lbs..

Lennox Lewis and Riddikk Bowe ain't like the bums tyson was fighting in the 80's

why tyson fell off then, he got his ass whooped by Busta Douglas, a straight bum, if he was so great he should've outclassed a bum like that under any circumstance

how did he magically forget this DBZ head movement that can evade anything

Busta Douglas was a big guy and bullied tyson, and he fought a good fight because HE WASN'T SCARED OF HIM

So what happened to Tyson's skills at the age of 24, they just magically vaporized

don't say Cus died and Tyson fell off lmao he won 26 STRAIGHT FIGHTS AFTER CUS DIED

Cus died in 1985 lmao, ZERO IMPACT ON THIS nikka'S CAREER IN THE RING, Tyson becae champ in 1986

you bum ass casuals don't know what the fukk you are talking about

Tyson was a decent fighter thats it, flat footed with power in booth hands

he was the GGG of his day, an HBO HYPE MACHINE
