That short fat unathletic slow fucc wouldve lost to Ali in 3.

Tyson wouldve knocced him out in one round.

marciano had skin tone and his chin going for him, but had he fought any of the greats he would lose mainly bc he was too small but its hard to overrate an undefeated fighter unless his wins are tainted and that I dont know

how is tyson overrated? :wtf:

You can't be fukking serious.

There are people out there who will tell you Tyson is the greatest heavyweight of all-time or that he would beat any heavyweight fighter ever (including Ali) despite the fact Tyson never even beat a great/legendary fighter in his prime (the demolition of Michael Spinks is the only argument). He lost to Holyfield twice and lost to Lennox Lewis, who were the other great fighters of his era. His resume doesn't stack up against the greatest.

On his side, unfortunately he went to prison (and Cus died years before) and by the time he came out he clearly wasn't the same guy, and that's when he fought those guys. But it is what it is. You can't be considered the greatest based on what you COULD have done or WOULD have done. Especially when you consider that Ali couldn't fight for years as well and came out and ended up adding to his legacy.

I noticed a difference as soon as Kevin Rooney left his corner which i believe was a few fights before the Douglas fight. Once Don King was involved with Mike Tyson that was it, he didnt box as much and looked more for the knockout. I dont know too many respected sources that have him top 25 all time, I see him in the top 50. He had more potential then any other fighter, its a damn shame...at least he seems somewhat happy now

Tyson's technical skill in the Ring was unmatched before he started fukking with Don King... it was all downhill from then on... :to:
