Loool AJ will beat Tyson too? The same Tyson that beat men who were 6'6 tall?

If heights won fights Marciano, Liston, Tyson and Holyfield would never have been champions

Even AJ admitted Tyson would destroy him. AJ is bigger but can't move his head. [b]He'd be a Frank Bruno [/b]for Tyson

haryomikun:

AJ can't beat Holyfield

That MF was crazy good!

haryomikun:

Spinks however is in the Boxing Hall of Fame.. His onlt loss was to Mike


The 38 year old Holmes went on to win 22 more fights and only lost 3 fights after losing to Mike. He never got beaten the way Mike beat him... 3 rounds and the fight ended

Bruno that was a robot only lost 5 matches in his entire career

Tyson na baba bros

haryomikun:

Buster Douglas wasn't a real test. He was a bum

You're simply saying real test because you have the advantage of hindsight

Truth234:


AJ will beat Holyfield easy, even Tyson faster, Lewis will be tough because of his height.

This is not from me, but them Tyson, Holyfield and Lewis admit they are very big and train with more sophisticated means now. Tyson is too short to survive this era, he said it himself. AJ is 6.6, Wilder 6.7 and Fury 6.9.

It is the same principle they used in projecting AJ victory against Klitschko at that early stage in his career. They knew WK used to bully people with size but with Anthony Joshua height and power, he stands no chance despite his skill level.

Was it a tough fight? Yes but did AJ win after just 18 fights ? Yes he did. A good big guy will always win a small good guy.

Truth234:


Then Tyson himself is lying, he said AJ will beat him. AJ started boxing because of people like Tyson, in fact, he used to emulate him. Hence, he will never admit he would beat him.

Frank Bruno was too respectful and scared in the ring, still, he almost put Tyson away and cause him all sort of trouble.

Again, you don't seem to understand how boxing works, there are weak champions due to available oppositions as at the time. During Marciano era he was fighting people of his size or poor skill level. Who could believe someone like Martins would ever be a World Champion given his skill set? But he was until AJ defeated him. In fact, Deontay was offered to face him, before AJ surprisingly he turned it down.

A question, why did you think all the tall heavy guy Tyson faced beat him? Buster Douglas (6.4), Evander Holyfield (6.3), Lewis (6.5), Danny Williams (6.3) and Kevin McBride (6.6)?

And Frank Bruno (6.3) could have done it as well, given the trouble he caused Tyson in the ring but everyone agreed he was too respectful (psychologically scared). However, his fight was the one that gave Tyson away and exposed his struggle against good bigger guys.

You see because Tyson was a perfect Cus d'amato experiment for modern day boxing with the right media to push his brand does not mean he was that good, any time he stepped up he failed. I am a hardcore boxing fan.

BOOOMNAIJA:
If he had invested the money he used in acquiring these cars, he could av been richer than Donald trump now.

haryomikun:

Yo

You're saying this because of hindsight

If it's that easy, why aren't you investing in shares that'll blow in 20 years time now?

PlayerMeji:
Now he's found some new passion....keeps pigeons....

ManyThanks:
is that him there?

BOOOMNAIJA:

aadoiza:

Yes Buster Douglas. You're probably right. The thing is Tyson's promoter did a a good job lining up some average fights for him when he started out

ednut1:
wetin busta, holyfield and lewis do am

ednut1:
he will Jab him and run all night na. And holyfield no be real HW

haryomikun:

Holyfield run? See this guy o

You don't know Evander baba.

BTW Holyfield later became a 'real' HW even though he started out at Cruiserweight

haryomikun:

His two father figures were dead

His lovely wife was divorcing him after a year and carting his money

He didn't have anyone who loved him in his life. Don King was cheating him of his money at that period

When there are problems at home, you can't succeed outside... All those losses came after his personal life had been wrecked

ednut1:
crap excuses. The man who madr him a boxer died long before he won the titles. He was having sex with maids in tokyo instead of training for douglas. Oga forget he was overhyped.

ednut1:
he was a volume puncher. He did not hv that KO power in HW. Joshua go beat am

haryomikun:

Yes. He was a overhyped boxer who punched 3 teeth out of Michael Johnson in a boxing match

He was a overhyped boxer who beat the boxers that beat Ali

He was a overhyped boxer that beat his opponent in 8 seconds in a Junior Heavyweight Olympic match

He was a overhyped boxer who had 3 titles at the age of 22. Ali, who is referred to as the GOAT won his first at age 22

He was a overhyped boxer who beat an unbeaten boxer in 91 seconds

He was a overhyped boxer who brought life to boxing

A overhyped boxer who immediately was eligible for the Boxing Hall of Fame, became inducted

haryomikun:

Who almost put Tyson away? Bruno? With his incessant holding. Please, sir, watch both matches again

Tyson lost to those tall guys AFTER HIS PRIME. you don't expect someone who lost two father figures within 3 years, was divorcing his wife, was being roped in by a fraudster promoter (Don King) and was portrayed in the media as a rapist to remain on top

When he had none of these troubles in his life, He beat Sammy the Gaint who was 6'6 and Richardson who was 6'6 too...

Or would you say Holyfield beat Tyson when he was having troubles at home because he was 6'1?

Everybody Mike Tyson beat was taller than him.

EVERYONE

Spinks was 6'3 and was beaten in 91 seconds, the only loss of his career.

Frazier's son was 6'4 and was beaten in 30 seconds!

By the time McBride beat him, he was gone bro... You can't compare the Mike of 1986 with 2006 naaa.

Trust me, if Tyson wasn't that good, he wouldnt remain relevant till today. Have you seen his training videos? Have you seen his blinding speed? Even Ali didn't have that amount of shared speed and power as fast as he was.

He was as fast as Ali, with the punch power of Foreman, defence of Ali, offense of Marciano

That boy won the Junior Heavyweight Olympics

He won 3 titles at the age of 21. I reiterate, nobody that is not that good will win 3 titles at that age.

NOBODY!

aadoiza:

Gosh!!! You really Iike Tyson. But, honestly, he was not as fast as Ali, not even close. Tyson was a scary monster because of his power and aggression. He had absolutely no skill, as far as I'm concerned, but had a killer left hook..

ednut1:
old boxers who beat alli smh. Even lewis japa and refused to gv vitali rematch

haryomikun:

it's now that you'll remember ali was old when they beat him

You won't remember that Tyson wasnt in his prime when he was beaten. You won't remember that he was going through personal issues that started the derail of his career when he was beaten

ednut1:
na mayweather no go thru personal issues ni. Abeg lol

haryomikun:

Not close? Not close?!!!!

I'll get you YouTube links bros. Ali was the fastest, I admit that. Mike Tyson is ranked 3rd fastest heavyweight in my books after Ali and Floyd Patterson

None of the aforementioned had his combined speed and power!

Tyson had no skill?!!!! No skill? Ohhhhh my Gawwwwd I wan start dey cry here...

He was mostly known for punch power and knockouts just like Ronaldo is known for goals

However, because Ronaldo is popularized for goal scoring doesn't mean he has no skills. Same with Mike. I'll put YouTube links here make you sabi

And yes, I'm a Tyson fan. If not for him I wouldn't know anything about the boxers I know today. Boxing can be a boring sport. Tyson made me love it.

My cousins who are about age 11 only watch Ali and Tyson. If there were more Tysons in boxing, i guarantee you, this mumu WWE that everyone is running to would lose prominence compared to boxing

Boxing was popular when there was Ron Lyle, Liston, Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Cleveland Williams and others. These are hard punchers. People want to see knockouts not two men dancing for 12 rounds.

Ali didn't have so many knockouts but he was interesting all the same.

Boxing is dying as a sport...

aadoiza:

I respect your opinions 100%. However; I see Tyson like me big bro. He was a menacing and fearsome street boxer back in the days because he had powerful right hand but a few of his friends were definitely more skillful.

Ali was something else. His footwork was madt. He was flexible and enjoyable to watch, just like Messi.
It's a sacrilege to mention WWE in the same context as Boxing. In fact, it's a taboo.

haryomikun:


Omo e get one shuffle wey Ali dey do with him legs. The first time i tried it, I fell down

aadoiza:

Lmao!! I even read somewhere that Bruce Lee learned a great deal from Ali's footwork
