He's not talking about asking this to Mike's face, he's talking about someone asking this to HIS face.

And I agree, couldn't imagine this question being posed by a real life person.

How the hell is is it dumb ive never said anyone here can beat mike tyson so whats the point of saying no one will say it to his face. He wasnt that great period..he knocked a bunch of nobodies..and wasn't compeitive against any top ten heavyweight he faced.

This is his run up to winning a title. Who are these nikkas.. everyone after up to losing to buster was shook. They fought for the payday. They didnt go in trying to win. Big difference..after Douglas he saw more and more tough fights against good fighters not great fighters good ones. Because that aura was burst by Douglas. Against Holyfield and Lewis he was food. Those are the only top ten heavyweights he faced.

Why the hell not he sucked he sucked..

Had to stop here. Ok breh, not interested in having a debate today with outrageous statements being made that I'd only ever read/hear on the internet

Ive said this all my life. I said it when he fighting..if you was alive and watching you would of possibly said the same. nikkas didnt get in the ring with Mike with any intention of winning. They fought for the payday..to last as long as they could to get their money. Running and holding..until Douglas. Nobody is denying his speed his power. But boxing isnt just about that..its a mental game too. And thats what Mike lacked when going against guys who werent scared of him.

He's fringe. His prime was short and he beat tons of cans.
