quote:You guys have Tyson confused with Kimbo Slice.
I don't think he has a signature win in his career.
Tyson was very legit. He started beating lower level opponents, and then gradually upgraded.
He nearly killed Razor Ruddock. . .twice.
He beat Mike Spinks in under 2 minutes. People saying Spinks was not legit are fricking retarded. Just because Tysone fricking destroyed him, does not mean he is less legit. . .it just means that Tyson was THAT MUCH BETTER.
In his Prime, nobody beats Tyson.
Nobody.
I will also point out that I am old enough to have seen Frazier fight. Frazier is the reason I think Ali is a complete sack of pig shite.
I like Frazier, and he would not have been intimidated by Tyson one bit. . .but it wouldn't matter.
Tyson was as strong as anyone, and he was blazing fast.

You're seriously trying to sell us Michael fricking Spinks as Tyson's signature win to compare him to Frazier's resume?quote:I think there are at least 10 heavyweights who in their primes, would beat Tyson in his prime.
In his Prime, nobody beats Tyson.

It's exaggerations like these that have caused the backlash against Tyson in regards to his place in boxing history.
I would actually slightly favor Tyson against Frazier. But nobody?
There are lots of bigger heavyweights out there would have given Mike fits:
Foreman
Ali
Vitali
Lennox Lewis (even in Mike's prime)
Holmes (in his prime, not the version Mike fought)
You could make a case for someone like Bowe. Holyfield maybe.

Well, maybe so. But, what he definitely was...a 31 year old who started at light heavyweight.
He had a very good career, but beating him isn't evidence that Tyson would beat a great heavyweight.
He just doesn't factor into the discussion.
