This mentally weak shyt is a little too much though. Tyson may have had a lot of self doubt but you cant do the things he did at his age and be a mental midget. It's not too many people who stepping in a boxing ring and not having some self doubt creep across their mind. The only time Tyson really lost it in the ring was against Holyfield. Him trying to break cats arms is just cause he crazy as hell. But other than the biting Tyson has taken his beatings like a man.
A 20 year old mike tyson would put the beats on any heavyweight in any era

The points people are using to marginalize his accomplishments are crazy..
One guy said his fighting style was flawed(didn't really explain why) but yet Mike became a champ at 20 and uniified all the belts using this "flawed" fighting style.....Then he went to beat like 6-7 world contenders before he got sent to jail....
Another guy talking about his mental acuity like he and Mike used to run Brooklyn together and he has first-hand knowledge of Mike's mindset....
Yo im reading this thread with the
face breh.18 year old dude came in here like manny Stewart (rip) talking bout
"oh he was flawed
"won the tittle at 20 years old but ok he was flawed
Then he went on to say
"tyson went straight in causing headbutts
"dude said it like tyson got heatbutted in every match lol
And then you got my favorite one from another guy.
"TYSON WAS MENTALLY WEAK, DON'T BE SCARED AND YOULL WINN!!!!"

I'm taking prime Vitali Klitschko over prime Mike Tyson
That would have been an extremely tough matchup for Mike...
Vitali probably gets the UD on that one...

Oh wow, your a idiot
Tyson only winning fights because ppl were scares of him is something non boxing fans say. U exposed yourself

Moron tyson himself has said fighters were so afraid of him it was easy work for him
Untill he got in with fightera not afraid of him
Ppl lets be real here u guys hav the dumbest logic with regards to tysons prime basically its a two year strech vs other fightera who hav proven it for longer years
Boxing consists of two fighters once mike got to the holyfieds lewis it wouldve been a wrap at any age
U crystalize tyson figthing in 20 to 22 as if tyson was mature at that age everybody seems to forget who mike really is
Mike himself has told u he was insecure and not mentally strong that stuff would manifested himself at his prime age had he faced an iron willed fighter
U cant say tyson was mentally strong at 20 when a couple of years before he was crying before fights or getting life checked by teddy atlas wit a gun

Weak as in when the going gets tough do u get going
Talkin ass whoopins for big paydays ala lewis isnt being mentally strong its an act of desperation he admitted he knew he was gonna lose but needed the money
When u face adversity how do u respond douglas and two holyfied fights are evidence of what happens when u stand up to tyaon in the ring
Ppl on here think tyson kos all the greats ala flabby and sick larry holmes but mythically hthese match ups pit two prime fighters not jus one

Douglas and holyfied werent afraid of tyson did he beat there ass?.
U do realize that tyson himslef credita cus for buliding his confidence and self esteem and being mentally there but once cus dies it al goes to sh1t that is not the sign of being mentally strong
Quite the opposite its being mentally weak and fragile
Somebody upload atlas consoling tyson as he weeping before a fight
U think fightera like ali louis or jack johnson were weeping before fights in their era of being second class citizens and the social pressurea they faced
Dude was an insecure kid he got exposed once he faced any adversity in the ring so its comical when ppl compared him in fighta with ali of all ppl lol

nikka after he cried he went into da ring and knocked the guy in 11 seconds
Again, he was just a lil kid. Most fighters go in da ring scared, its how you perform when you are scared that determines the type of person you are
Teddy atlas was a grown ass man he thought he could trust who put a gun close to his head when he was 15 year old and pulled da trigger, why da hell wouldnt he be shook by that
Tyson was a machine and was one of the most disclipined and mentally strong boxers of all time in his prime. He fought plenty of guys who werent scared of him and he whooped them all. His downfall was women, partying, drug use, and not training properly. Even with all of that, the tyson who was supposed to fight holyfield in 92 woulda destroyed him

Lol ur such a dumbfu3k he was so disciplined and mentally strong yet pu22ay and money and not training properly was his downfall
Isnt that the definition of not bein mentally strong and disciplined..?
Jus like tyson destroyed douglas
Man I wonder what ur opionon of fighters are that got the same pu22ay and money mike did but stayed disciplined and great u must think their gods
There are fightera that had he same pitfalls tyson did but stayed great and champs mike gets a whiff of money and pu22ay and buster douglas destroys him
How the fukk are u gonna compare that great example of being disciplined and mentally strong with figtera like ali or louis who faced such greater adversity socially than random pu22 and money

I used to think this way until I learned that ALI was faster and bigger than tyson
and proved he had the heart and chin to take those punches
4th round tyson would be tired and ali would whoop him something serious .... shyt with all that talk tyson might be tired by the 3rd
