Tysons best fight wasn't Spinks. Spinks was a light heavyweight with bad knees that wanted to retire after one more payday. I won't say that he took a dive. But he sure didn't care about winning.
Tony Tucker was Tysons best fight. I posted the highlights above. Tucker was a lot older than Tyson. But he was undefeated, huge (6'5) and in excellent shape. It was a great fight. Tucker broke his hand early. But was able to go the distance. It showed Tysons skill and patience.

Tyson was a bum fighting other bums

It's like some of these guys never watched anything but Tyson fights.

He had some impressive KO's but they were all tomato cans, worst period in boxing history

The same guys shitting on Tyson in this thread are also LeBron fanboys.

Prime Iron Mike would make short work of both these guys.

Buster was a damn good athlete with a good boxing pedigree.(Dad was a middle weight champ)
Not much heart/ desire after he beat Tyson.

Tyson couldn’t knock Razor out and he wouldn’t knock Fury out
Richard Steele was on the take and it was obvious. He stopped the fight for nothing allowed Tyson to hit after the break etc.
Razor and Fury are pretty similar in styles vs Tyson.

Tyson couldn't get close enough to Fury to hurt him, and he sure as hell isn't landing any head shots.

100% agree! Tyson would chop them down. He’d break ribs having to go ribs more. Plus, in his prime he had great defense. If Fury let’s him get up close he’s in trouble. If Tyson can’t work up close then he’s out

I guess Tyson hurt Ruddock in fight 2 but didn’t stop him. He did knock him down and broke his jaw and hurt eardrum.

Not really but who did Tyson beat?A washed up Holmes? Michael Spinks?
Ruddock was perhaps his best victory?

When Jimmy Jacobs died Tyson’s career died. It allowed King to come in.
It started the whole sequence of events. The Walters Givens interview was crazy. The media made Givens out as the crazy one when it was really Mike.

I’m no boxing historian or expert so I dunno what Tyson could do against today’s fighters in his weight class, but what I do know is that dude provided some entertaining knockouts FWIW.

Tyson Fury scared of Mike Tyson? Whoever thinks this doesn't know Fury
Yeah I'm not sure I understand that take. Fury is just insane enough to not be scared of anyone. He is like a taller, heavier, slightly more sane Tyson. There is something off in his head. Just not quite enough to be declared a true madman.

Is Lomachenko fighting Telfilmo anytime soon? Teo will get housed hope his handlers don’t put him in there with that man, yet.

Lennox Lewis continuously jabbed Tyson until Tyson quit. A reach that long you just keep Tyson from getting inside.
He gets in a left uppercut, it’s lights out.

Tyson fought nothing but Bums and Buster was supposed to be a bum too. Most overrated boxer in history
