The heavy lifting that guys like Rahman and Tua does would only hinder guys like Dempsey and Louis. These were very strong guys, who developed strength and lasting muscle at an early age doing manuel labor (which anyway you slice it produces longer lasting, better muscle then weight lifting) and wh...

Holmes-Tyson-Holmes TKO 11. If friggin' Tony Tucker and Douglas could frustrate Tyson (and one dominate him) with a good jab, uppercuts, and knowing how to clinch, Holmes in his prime would smother him. And that would win him the fight? Holmes couldn't punch - if you can't drop Ken Norton with flus...

Bowe did show his lack of class when he used to say that. There was definitely plenty of bad blood there. Someone say Bad Blood Ok here is what i remember, i really liked Bowe and was training here with Lewis, and as far as i remember, the biggest reason they didn't fight was because they both had ...

Whatever way you look at it, Bowe is a pussy! Any fighter who deliberately avoids his biggest rival is a pussy & should be berated for it! :box: Poster klompton made a good summary: Bowe threw his belt in the trash can and refused to fight Lewis because when he won the undisputed championship h...

Before Bowe won the world title he saw Lewis destroy the much feared Razor Ruddock in 2 easy rds. By the time Bowe won hiw WBOgus belt he had watched his old buddy JL Gonzalez accumulate an undefeated record by crudely whacking a series of scrubs, and looking extremely crude, predictable & shor...

I never mentioned achievements. I base mine on who would beat who, no the ring magazine type ratings. But who beats who is pure speculation. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to look at what they actually did in their career? I do I look at what they did in their career how they fought, what advantag...

It's because the eight and ) make a smiley. Anyway. 1. Mike Tyson 2. Muhammad Ali 3. Larry Holmes 4. George Foreman 5. Joe Frazier 6. Evander Holyfiel 7. Mike Spinks (heavyweight for a while) 8. Lennox Lewis 9. Ken Norton 10. Leon Spinks 10. Grimm, how can you have Tyson at #1 just because you thin...

I don't know why there is a smiley next to Frazier!! :-? I didn't put it there & I can't get rid of it!!! :x It's because the eight and ) make a smiley. Anyway. 1. Mike Tyson 2. Muhammad Ali 3. Larry Holmes 4. George Foreman 5. Joe Frazier 6. Evander Holyfiel 7. Mike Spinks (heavyweight for a w...

He also had the best nickname in boxing.

Seriously, let's assume the guy is broke. How the hell do you spend all the money he's earned?

The man is in constant need of attention. That's all there is to it.

How demeaning

Only if he gets KO'd á la Ray Mercer.

I think Holyfield will end up in K1.

Maybe you guys should take a cold shower and then calm down. :D You are acting like you are 2 Don King fighters and the ticket sales arent good. So you play it up with mock threats and verbal barbs. :oops: Come on. Make peace guys. :TU: Being 15 has nothing to do with being a Tyson fanatic. I am on...

I think being 15 has someting do to with the amount of reason behind your arguments, especially when the subject is Mike Tyson, but you're right, jab, how about a truce Grimm?

You're right... Don't insult Floyd Patterson. Tantum, Grimm is 15 years old and has a big chip on his shoulder. Why not ignore him and focus on the topic? Come on now of all the people to ignore, you have something to say. You are the same guy that was ridin' Ruiz dick. Yeah I know, I know, it was ...

A lot of people mention Liston's jab as being his main asset but Tyson's jab was a lot faster albeit not as powerful. I still say Liston KO's Tyson mainly because I think he would be intimidated by Liston.

What do you think?

totally off the theme, absolutely the most uglyest thread I have ever seen. Sad to see that most of the boxing fans have no class. In my eyes boxing is more than picking on each ohter. .. oh maaan :wink: I'm sure if it were not a forum there wouldn't be any verbal shit tolerated. I would just simpl...

No, Leon was the one with no teeth. They both had missing teeth though. Leon just missed way more. You are a prat mate, both Spinks brothers have accomplished more in their lives than you have even the imagination in your wildest of wet dreams to ever think about!, ...go get a life!... Is that real...

http://www.tysontalk.com/article44.html `anyone can get in physical shape`. Rooney seems to have a bit of a problem with that himself... Rooney once said Tyson could have been the first HW to go 100-0. Not a chance in hell Let me guess: that 100-0 only applied if Tyson had Rooney as a trainer? :lol:

Ehem...Kojoe,Tyson didn't have to fight off the back foot because he was always moving forward and attacking (jumping his opponents if you will) which he did so well noone would make him back off and fight backwards. But he DID have to fight whilst on the back foot on a number of occations such as ...

No it certainly isn't his marketability because Ruiz is the most painful fighter to watch in history! I'd almost rather have my fingernails ripped out with pliers as opposed to watching a John Ruiz fight all the way through (except the Tua bout), which I'm sure that I am not alone in that feeling, ...

>>>>If he is so bad, how come he has beaten so many guys?<<<< It's plain and simple...Don King! You actually believe that the Quiet Man's "marketability" is what's kept him in the top ten for so long? If you weren't an editor, I'd tell you to fornicate off, but I won't do that.
