greatest of all time?? Tyson? are you taking the piss?

Only 2 heavy weights from the last 10 years or so could match the boys of the good old days, Lewis and Hollyfield no others. Boxing is a dying sport its full of bums now. Compare it to the good old days Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Liston, Louis the list is endless.

Common lads, next thing youll be saying naz could have been the greatest of all time.

Tyson at 21/22 had the potential to be a true legend, thats the thing. He never realised it.

but he was fighting a bunch of nobodys, all he had was power, his technique was shocking. I know all foreman and liston had was power too but anyone who laster the first two rounds with tyson made him suffer.

His technique was top notch in his youth. Look at those tapes again.

I'm no boxing expert but like him or hate him most boxing observers in the know agree that Mike Tyson was potentially up there with the greats for his first few years as the World Champ. Like the Rolling Stones or someone in music the sight of him now may not help his legacy but look at the footage from the late 80's and tell me this guy wasn't unreal. I'll always remember that time he destroyed Sphinx in about a minute.
