I’m not arguing about the fact that Tyson was /is a dick, I’m arguing that your reasoning for proclaiming he is GOAT is deeply flawed.You have narrowed the window for assessment to “when he was at his best”, you’ve also relied heavily on the fact that he is the youngest HW champion ever.No doubt Tyson was one of the greats, even just for his ferocity, lack of reach, height etc.But your arguments are shite, and you’re on the wind up, you know he’s not the best.

You don’t like P4P as it shows your hero as being an above average boxer compared to others. So do you retract this earlier statement ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Tyson was immense, apparently after his 7th Pro fight, he eventually put his boots on the correct feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMDP Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I also read the book recently and enjoyed it. The mythology over Tyson is tiresome though, he was clearly a fearsome puncher, had a great chin and was an excellent boxer but the circus surrounding him just leaves a great deal of sadness and a trail of destruction. There's a legendary nights doc on youtube and you can see him close to tears when ranting at all and sundry in the lead up to the fight. He was clearly used and milked by so many that the lines were blurred between the human and the boxer/monster/salesman. He was surrounded by some awful people, but this is in no way any excuse for some of his shameful behaviour. Boxing ratings and stuff are generally weird and really subjective and personality often comes into it. Someone like Andre Ward should really be considered when talking about all time greats but his personality sees him overlooked by the casual fan, whereas someone with a lesser record like Tyson gets thrown in the mix. This extends to Ali, this seeming certainty of him being the greatest does a huge disservice to all those who have a shout at really claiming that title. TL:DR version: Tyson, some puncher, bit of a mad c**t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamdunk Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 This stinky bone guy is right. Charlie Z has been in the ring, and no one knows more about boxing than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
