The dozey git seemed to believe that he really had a chance. Another victim of promoters hype... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 All the Tyson cheer leaders saying his knock out's were AWESOME!!! Just exactly who did he beat that made him one of THE best ever? The fact is the best fighters he fought wiped the floor with him. Teddy Atlas was right IMO when he said "Too be great, You've got to stay the course, if you don't stay the course, You're just a shooting star!" Mike Tyson was excellent coming forward, but just look at how dramatically mediocre he looks when he's pushed back and when his opponent doesn't crumble under the pressure he puts on them. He loses focus and starts throwing single shots in the hope one will land to take the guy out, all the dynamics go straight out of the window. Sure he was better than good, but IMO he was the most over hyped fighter in the history of the sport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And as far as Single shots doing the business, just look at most of his knockouts, it's combinations of punches that put his opponents out the majority of the time. It took him a rally of 13 punches to put Bruno out in the rematch they had, and he had been landing with punches at will to soften him up before that. He'd put blistering combinations together with speed and power, but that doesn't make you an all time great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_stig 6,614 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 berbick,smith,pinklon thomas,tony tucker,tyrell biggs,tony tubbs,holmes,spinks-- the best that was around and all big names at the time ...if you look at tysons early am and pro fights he was raw -- raised his game during the 80s early 90s fought what was put in front of him during the mid 90s to early 2000 when holyfield and lewis apart the heavyweight scene was at its worst ... as for bruno good honest fighter knew his limits gave brits something to cheer on had many a good night at bruno fights ...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! You're trying to tell me that the heavyweight scene in the 's was better than what it was in the 90's BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Ridiculous!!!! Morrison, Mercer, Moorer and those guys were better than those who were juggling the titles amongst each other in the 's. Berbick - less than mediocre Smith - A journey man with a punch Thomas - even worse Tucker - not bad but not a career defining opponent Tyrell Biggs - laughable Tony Tubbs - Holmes was a great boxer, but had been out of the ring two years touring around the USA on the piss and singing songs before he fought Tyson without even setting foot into a gym before the fight with Tyson. Had he fought Tyson at HIS best or even after having a year or so shaking off the ring rust and training properly he'd of boxed his ears off! Spinks - a blown up Light Heavyweight. Next to what we have today, the 's was possibly THE worst era in heavyweight boxing history. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tyson had excellent power but could hit you with a combination of punches in fast explosive bursts as well. I don't think he had the one punch power of either of the two men you mentioned but he definitely had cruel power and if his man was still standing after the first one landed the odds were he'd hit him with another 2 or 3 and if you were there to be hit you'd be in trouble.
