Could boxing end the UFC with the return of a young, in

Anthony Joshua would beat him in 8

No, the problems of boxing won't get solved with one heavyweight no matter how good.

Maybe. The thing that attracted people to Mike Tyson is that he was really flashy and had an interesting personality.

the UFC will be ended on August 26th

UFC is more entertaining because there are much more possibilities. Altough alot of fights are, as boxe fans say, boring Jiu-Jitsu, the vast majority of the Knockouts are cool as fuck.
Boxe is the same old thing, guys trading punches for 12 rounds and then end by decision.

Like american handegg?

No. Tyson (and Don King) was a big part of what killed boxing in the first place. Who wants to pay for a PPV when the fight is probably going to be over in a few rounds because the champ is fighting some scrub?

Also this:

We need multiple heavyweights who are actually entertaining to watch fight (which means they need to actually be skilled fighters). And we need a unified sanctioning body that doesn't let champs dodge contenders, so that we get fighting champs who fight 3-5 bouts per year like prime Ali.

It will never happen, but we also need 15 round bouts back, at least for the higher weight classes, IMO. Cutting back to 12 was a knee-jerk reaction that seriously hurt the sport.

did that manlet ever win against a good heavyweight boxer? he got spanked by evander holyfield, lennox lewis, and buster douglas. all the others were literally-whos.

Not really, the majority of KOs are catching someone off balance and then finishing them with a ground and pound.

Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks are the first name that comes to mind.
But he's one of the biggest waste of boxing, too bad Fury is taking the same path.

>>77339131
Tyson's opponents were literally-whos because he destroyed them all easily. Ali is great because he had Frazier, who beat him. Ken Norton, who beat him. George Foreman, who took over when he went to jail. He conquered these guys, they had legitimacy to the plebs because they beat Ali (or were unbeaten champ like Foreman).

Tyson didn't have a rival, so people say his era was weak. He didn't lose in his prime. He was never the same after his coach died.

no, the thing that attracted people to Tyson was the fact he was fighting boxing royalty, who all beat Muhammad Ali out of the sport while they were in their primes, as an 19yo and blowing their heads off one at a time in less then 3 rounds.

The dude literally scared the piss out of pro boxers before he stepped into the ring.

What broke his mystique was the buster douglas fight. Tyson showed up out of shape (it was in japan), never took the fight seriously, and according to some people had a hangover the night of the fight. Buster Douglas was taller and had a longer reach then Tyson, and was just as terrified as all of tyson's prior foes. His trainer convinced him he couldn't stand toe to toe with tyson and trained him hard to stick and move. The plan was to see how much endurance tyson had since he never had a fight go past 5 rounds, and pray to make it to 12 for a decision.

It was a smart move, it had been tried before, the problem was the people who tried it before usually were cornered by a fleet foot tyson and forced to take a few huge punches, which usually knocked the fight out of them. Douglas however was fighting a guy who was out of shape and possibly hung over, who was a little out of shape and not even paying attention to the fight.

As a result tyson never cornered him, or even caught him with a good punch, and when his endurance ran out Douglas got a 7th round knockout. What this did was produce a blueprint for beating tyson, and the mistique was shattered. Guys weren't getting into the ring believing they couldn't win anymore, worse for tyson, who was never a strong technical fighter, EVERYONE was trying to stick and move against him. The one style he was weak to, so following the douglas fight he never again showed that terrifying power again, as no one would give him that chance.
