My god, Tyson is the greatest boxer of all time

[Xylitol]

If Andre the Giant was a boxer, he could do a slap and knockout Tyson

 

[JulesMaximus]

Correction, he's the least sane boxer of all time.

 

[tjaisv]

2 words: Rocky Balboa

 

[imported_malcontent]

Up until he lost his mind, I would agree. Somewhere down the line, he went full goose bozo.

 

[waggy]

I feel sorry for Tyson on one part. he trusted his scumbag promoter/manager and got ripped off.

 

[OdiN]

pffft I kicked his ass

 

[Iron Woode]

George Chuvalo.

Never knocked out or knocked down in 97 fights. ranked #2 boxer in the world. Faced Ali twice and Ali said, "He was the toughest man I ever fought.".

Most people on here haven't seen a great champion fight live unless they are 40ish, but the fact is there were quite a few better than Tyson.

Micheal Sphinx?

is that is as far back as you can think of a champ you need help

It was a joke. Remeber when he beat Ali? Anyways, I watched that fight on TV in like 75? How old do I have to be to remember a great champion?

Lets see all of these guys were better than Tyson:

Jack Johnson
Jack Dempsey
Joe Louis
Rocky Marciano
Muhammad Ali


and btw I am not that old just have a sense of history.

Long lived does not always equate into the greatest does it? The stones have been playing since before I was born but I would be hard pressed to call them the greatest.

Tyson was a wrecking ball that I was old enough to watch and appreciate, not a historical fiigure. Can you wrap your mind around that?

compared to the bands that have come out in the last 15 - 20 years, they are the greatest.

That's not saying much.

 

[TheNinja]

The greatest...I don't think so......The scariest and most intimidating...I say yes.

 

[latino666]

Nope not the greatest. He swung to wildly. If he went up against a boxer that could counter punch and had good punching power he would not last.

You never mentioned the 18 losses and 2 draws he had. I'd hardly call him the greatest ever.

There are far greater boxers.

I just realized you're canadian though. No wonder you said him. LOL
