The Thread speak for itself. I wish the guy box in the 80s and up until his last fight.. Lets face it, the guy beat up a bunch of nobodies. Some of those fights, Don King Rigged up to hype up tyson. MIKE TYSON WAS AN OVERRATED BOXER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FLAME ME ALL DAY!!!!!!!! FACTS ARE FACTS

Thats the point, Nobody on this message board a boxer. Thats where people get it confused at. I am sure Tyson wouldnt tell Lennox Lewis that to his face either. Get it 2 boxers

Ok if you say so. Street fighting doesn't have the same rules as the boxing ring.

Tyson is skilled brawler. No on this board is not. He is a terrible skilled boxer. After Buster Douglas knock him out. It was down hill from there. * Waits for your Excuses*

When the two were younger they say that Tyson use to eat his lunch when they sparred. I disagree I think up until he fired Kevin Rooney (Thanks Don King) he was not only skilled but on course to be the most dominant boxer EVER. Bad decisions is what ruined Tyson.

Who was THEY? Where can i find that at? Lennox Lewis was older than Tyson i believe when they fought. So him firing Kevin Rooney is what ruined Tyson?

Then you need to learn facts.

Are you forgetting how good of a boxer Tyson was at throwing combinations when he was with CUS? How good he was when he first turned pro? Those 1st 12 fights before he became champion?

In the 1980's Tyson was a BOXER under Constantine "Cus" D'Amato. Tyson became a bum fighter when "Cus" died and that vulture Don King and his hoodrat crew took over management of Tyson. When Don King took over, that is when Tyson started fighting bums.

As for the 1980's fights, there was not that many good heavyweights around. You had the likes of "Bone Crusher" Smith who Tyson hit so hard, Bone Crusher literally spinned in the air before hitting the ground. Mitch Blood Green was OK but he was with Don King so you know that story. When Tyson beat Trevor Burbick, he was the best out of the 3 titles heavyweights. The other 2 was James Smith and Toney Tucker who he easily beat.

When tyson first started out, he cleaned out the top 12 fighters in line. When Tyson faught Spinks, that is when shat went downhill. Don King took over Tysons carear publically after that fight. Thje only thing Don King and crew told Tyson while he was in training was "go get him." Tyson didn't throw another combination after Don King took over. He just came forward and threw haymakers. HE DIDN'T HAVE NOBODY TO REMIND HIM HOW TO BOX AFTER CUS.

Exactly. Cus Dimato taught Mike Tyson the same style he taught Floyd Patterson. The Kid Dynamite version of Mike Tyson threw combinations, had some of the best defense and head movement seen at the heavyweight level, and he had hand as well as foot speed. Kevin Rooney kept the training of Cus going and protected him until Don King came along. That's when he went from peek a boo style boxing to brawler.

Look it up. Lewis and Tyson were sparring partners. I tell u this. Lewis caught Tyson at the right time. If he would have met Tyson before he went to jail like they were suppose to then Lewis ass would been laid out.

You say when his trainer died ok cool, you suppose to fight hard to honor your trainer,not fall off. Win because your trainer watching over you. I aint buying that crap because his trainer died. you can save that excuse for somebody else. What about his disastrous personal life, his drug addictions, half-hearted training efforts? Tyson not even Top 10 boxer of all time. Yall call this guy great because he whoop a bunch of bums. GTFOH

Tyson was to small. Lennox Lewis 6"5 250, and Tyson was 5"10. Come on dude, Tyson couldnt handle a skilled fighter like Lennox Lewis who actually knew how to box. Better yet, If Tyson hadnt bit Holyfield on the ear. Lennox Lewis-Mike Tyson would of fought wayyyyyyy before 2002. Lewis been ready to fight tyson.

That statement right there show me you know nothing about what happened.
You need to just stop, close this thread, and admit you just got bored and started a thread about something you know nothing about. So after I make a last statement, you can come back and say "I don't buy it" and ramble on. :lol:

IF you know anything about the boxing game in the United States during Tysons time, you should know that DON KING RAN BOXING because he had all the boxers in the heavyweight division under his control. He had everybody. He was the one setting up the fights and had stake in both fighters fighting. HE was the one signing the paychecks because he was THE PROMOTER OF THE FIGHT. He was the one that MIKE TYSON had to answer to if he wanted to stay in the mix. Don King and his crew of crimminals didn't let anyone near Mike Tyson.

All they did was stroke Tysons ego, set up fights with bums that DON KING had under contract, stole his money, and gave him cars, houses, and women that were in DON KINGS name.

With all that you side. What does that have to do with Tyson gettin his ass whooped. You statement just proved my point on why he was overrated. Ok, We gon blame don King for Buster douglass lost, Tyson losing to holyfield twice,Lennox lewis damn near killed him, or Tyson quitting during 1 fight. Mike Tyson is one of the overrated Athletes of all time.

you speaking with assumptions. What i saw in the ring lead to my belief of tyson being overrated. Boxing Greats are judge on what they do in the ring, not outside the ring.

Teddy Atlas put it best. When Cus died so did Tyson's protection from the leaches. Then Don King convinced him to fire Kevin Rooney the one guy he had left in his corner.

You saw a 20 year old kid clean out the heavyweight division in the 80's and unify the heavyweight titles for the first time in years. You saw a guy become the youngest champ ever. You saw a two time gold medalist in the junior olympics and you call that overrated?? Seriously? Or wait........Did you actually see it?
