"Iron Mike" Tyson Appreciation Thread

[ihatetimthomas]

mike tyson got no legacy! he had to bite hollyfield's ears in order to keep up with him... what a wussy

During his prime, he wouldve destroyed holyfield, and any heavy weight out there in the past 20 years

Lewis would have beaten him no matter how many times they fought. Lewis would always have the same advantages over a prime Tyson.

yeah and prime tyson got KO by Buster Douglas - one of the biggest underdog of his generation

I didnt really know much about Tyson, but after reading/watching a little about him he sounds like a huge d-bag. No appreciation here.

yeah then explain me how prime Tyson got KO by underdog Buster Douglas

Totally underestimated him. He was out partying it up, feeling invinsible. He never really trained for this fight. He was the heavy weight champ for 2 years and undefeated. He did not take this fight seriously and really that is why he was defeated.

I dont respect him as a person, just made a thread about him to respect him as a boxer. And anyone who knows boxing respects him as a boxer

I saw that on Morning Joe. He could probably still knock someone ut, but wow has he let himself fall to pieces.

There was a short period of time when he was arguably the greatest boxer of all time, even better than Ali. Then once his trainer died he was never the same, and both his boxing skills and his life outside the ring went downhill from there.

Stick to music threads homie. Ali and Mike have no claim to being the greatest boxer of all time.

I dont think he could KO me in a 3 round fight. Look at him. You'd have to be moronic to allow it.

Iron Mike Street Cred Increased. He has now reached boss level.

Dasher proves prophetic. Tell me he doesn't look like one of those end of level bosses in a video game now, with the smokey stage and face tattoo and everything.

And now let's watch the dumbass "Would you fight Tyson?" bickering.

Kind of like how Nique can still dunk, I bet that even "Pig Iron" Mike still packs a howitzer, and may have surprisingly quick hands. Your chances would improve with a longer fight, make him chase you if you have some endurance and by the 5th round on he'll have nothing. but if it's three rounds, you may find yourself forced to engage him to win on points, and he'd probably only have to tag you once.

We've already started!

I wouldn't now, he's broke. Couldn't sue for much anymore. Maybe the $300 he got paid to present an award at the Video Game Awards or whatever the hell it was. America, **** YEAH!
