Thank You Adam Weitsman

[Niastri]

The discipline was over with when Cus D'Amato passed.

I don't think anyone in history beats that era of Mike.

His speed and power was an unbeatable combination. Foreman was more powerful, but a lumbering oaf compared to Tyson. Ali was quicker, and could have peppered Tyson through a whole fight, but would have been running to avoid Tyson's power, the same he did in the Foreman fights. Ali wouldn't have the power or the chin to go toe to toe with rain in his prime, Tyson had the technical skill to lock Ali down and hurt him.

Tyson also had tremendous power with both hands and a variety of punches. His knockouts game with both hands, on hooks, uppercuts and straight punches. Guys would get so hurt from his hooks to the ribs they would stop guarding their face.

Nothing I saw from Ali made me think he could compete with Tyson.

What a shame he lost that discipline and it's an open discussion. In five years, Tyson could have put the question to bed permanently.

When Mike hit people, I thought his fist would go through the person. Everything you mentioned are the reasons I feel the same way.

I don't think we'll ever see anything like Mike Tyson ever in history, it's just too remarkable of a story from his youth and up until now.

Look at his body in his prime, add that with his rage and disciplined training and I don't know how you make a better boxer, maybe taller? I don't think so, I think he used that to a tremendous advantage, Tyson took down trees.

Foreman was a devastating puncher, and much bigger then tyson. If Tyson had to fight Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Norton, or Holmes he would have lost a number of times. Those guys all could hit, and they knew hope to box.

Old Tyson post prison loses to any great heavy weight. Not sure anyone could stop him in his prime.

Keep thinking this got bumped because AW is back in the fold… only to find myself in the boxing hall of fame.

 

[JustPherU]

His style was impetuous, his defense impregnable.

Enjoy your time in beautiful Canofsoda NY!

What a weekend for our former guy. This, and then I saw him walk out in Jon Jones' entourage on Saturday night.

Everyone loves a good comeback story (Kim Kardashian).

Yeah, even Zima came back. Not for long though (unfortunately).
