>Prime Mike Tyson is the most dominant fighter of all time

I can literally name 10 better heavyweights rn.

1. Tyson Fury
2. Anthony Joshua
3. Daniel Dubois
4. Wladimir Klitschko
5. Dillian Whyte
6. Luis Ortis
7. Dereck Chisora

and no Wilder is a big stiff idiot

What is it with turboplebs and Mike Tyson?

He's not even a Top 10 heavyweight in boxing history. Not even a Top 100 boxer Pound for Pound in boxing history.

I can give you a huge list of Heavyweight boxers who a) Would have beat him (with the conditioning at their time of fighting) and b) Who were better Pound for Pound throughout history.

>>77258431
No. Taller, great boxers will always give him trouble and beat him most of the time. Joe Louis, Ali or Lennox Lewis will be better.

I keep forgetting that prime Tyson only existed for about a year.

Op is kinda right. The operative word is "prime". Back then he was a different fighter. Jail made him lazy and unfocused. Cus had him finely tuned. Not saying he beats everyone, but he's definitely competitive w/ anyone in his prime. That's just a fact jack

>>77258636
a) Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko, Lennox Lewis, Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Evander Holyfield, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman (both eras)

*these are favoured. Doesn't dismiss other heavyweights who COULD win but wouldn't be necessarily favoured, i.e. Buster Douglas

b) Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Larry Holmes, Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Gene Tunney, Jack Dempsey, Sam Langford, Jack Johnson, Floyd Patterson, Sonny Liston, Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko, Jim Jefferies

Marciano is better Pound for Pound and had a far, far better career than Tyson.
>prettyboy Lewis
Better Pound for Pound. Too big, put Tyson to sleep later in his career.
>the glass jaw brothers
Too big. Also Vitali had an absolute monster chin you clown.

>>77258802
He's too big for Tyson.

He's a fucking bum off his head on drugs, call me when he stops 'wrestling' with 6'1 carpet cleaner salesmen and actually fights someone with half a brain, footwork and who can punch.

Those fat plodding '''fighters''' in the UFC are absolute tomato cans, can barely move out of their own weight.

>>77258588

Are you old enough to have seen that motherfucker in his prime? People were fucking afraid to fight him. Agreeing to a fight with him might as well have come with requiring the writing of living will. Dude could potentially detach brain stems and had the speed to rival Ali.

>>77260024
>losing the argument

LMAOing at your life tbqhwy

Tyson's prime lasted about six weeks and ended when Cus died/Rooney left/he went to jail/he discovered coke/he stubbed his toe really badly (delete where appropriate)

>>77260050
>Are you old enough to have seen that motherfucker in his prime?
No, which means I can actually watch the fight tape without nostalgia distorting me from the reality.
>People were fucking afraid to fight him
Until some people weren't, and actually used a jab and some brains.

Tyson got beat by a fucking journeyman with 4 losses. His best win is either against a 38 year old Larry Holmes who hadn't boxed for 21 months, or Michael Spinks.

How can Tysonfags defend this? I like Tyson, but he's not a Top 10 Heavyweight, nor was he ever the best/most dangerous fighter of all time, even in his mythical ''''prime'''''. There's either a whole list of excuses, or just blatant hyperbole in its place.

pretend I posted the galaxy brain meme with Tyson is GOAT ---> Tyson sucks -----> Tyson is a great HW who matches up badly with certain other great HWs

>>77260273

Which was never the case until his brain was ruined from booze and jail

People didn't stop being afraid of Tyson until his public life became a train wreck

>>77258506
IT WALKS TOWARDS THE CAMERA

>>77260273

I'm not a "Tysonfag" you idiot. He was a crazy misnomer type of fighter that could potentially kill you because of how hard he hit and he was fast and competent enough that it might actually happen.

You could beat him and still end up with a 3rd degree concussion. He was just bad news all-around. A great big ball of muscle that could use it. You respect the greats, that's it. Stop being such a superfluous fuck face nigga.

Prime Tyson mostly fought mega-bums.

you'd best be trolling, son

The fall of Mike Tyson is the greatest thing about him. He was the baddest man around at his prime. Everyone was talking about Tyson. His power, speed and quickness. He looked unbeatable.

Then he got beat by a Buster. That fight made Tyson look human and Douglas might of been the only boxer to not be scared of him. He had knock down Douglas in the fight and looked like he would win till the shocking 10th round. The image of Tyson crawling, fumbling around for his mouthpiece ended whatever untouchability he had and to the eventual downfall in his life.

That lead to not fighting Holyfield in a huge matchup. Which lead to prison. Which lead to the "eating children" and "make you my bitch" press conferences and finally the realization that he was no match for Holyfield and the infamous ear bite. A lot of things contributed to his downfall, but that one fight loss was pretty much the beginning of the end of his boxing career.

>and the infamous ear bite
truly one of the weirdest moments in sports.
unless you saw it as it happened I think it would hard to understand.
I was at a big party, everyone watching the fight.
Ear shit happens, everyone stunned.
Then everyone was in a very quiet but shit mood. 90% of the guests gone within 5 minutes.
It was ugly, not just because of the act but because we were witnessing a real mental breakdown and no one wants to see that shit, especially in someone like that.

>>77268843
>that one fight loss was pretty much the beginning of the end of his boxing career

Not the 3 years he did for a false rape accusation? Alright.

>>77269038
Man, re-watching the Tyson scene is heartbreaking. He's really screwed up.

With regards to D'Amato he was the last of that kind. You don't see trainers with that level of knowledge anymore. If he'd lived even another 5 years Tyson would have been GOAT no questions asked.

>>77268890
Like I said, a lot of stuff lead to his downfall. His trainer Rooney leaving, his father figure Cushion dying, all his outside the ring problemsize of drug and an abusive relationship. But him losing to Douglas is what made people noto being afraid of him in the ring. He won his next 3 or 4 fights, but it wasn't the same unbeatable Tyson anymore. Then the rape charge put his career to a halt, but he had problems before that.

I believe if he hadn't gone to prison, Holyfield would of beat him anyway.

Why does nobody make any excuses for Lennox Lewis? Oh right, he was totally dominant throughout his career and avenged his only two losses.

>>77267047
this

>>77259441
That fight was kind of instructive- it literally shows the only chance a boxer has to win. If the striker can land a knock out blow in the first few minutes, he takes the bout. Literally every other way the bout goes down he loses horribly, e.g., James Toney vs Couture. It mystifies me that boxing fans think that the Ray Mercer fight proves anything we didn't know already.

Mike Tyson was the Ronda Rousey of his day. People feared him because he pounded cans and that fear made mid level talent guys scared and underperform against him. Once he was exposed as a paper tiger he never won another major bout.

>>77259441
The fight was supposed to be boxing but didnt get sanctioned. So gentlemens agreement to keep it standing.
Also Mercer lost to fucking Kimbo lmao

Tyson is the footballer equivalent of Zidane.

Fancy highlights reel, no real substance. Overrated cult figure with some bits of controversy thrown in. Nowhere near the true GOATs (Maradona, Messi, Scholes, CRonaldo etc.) such as Muhammed Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Anderson Silva, Jo Frazier etc.
