sympathy, even when the guy has a good day, it isn't a good day. While he is
still physically capable of becoming champ, I doubt he will be able to focus
mentally on it for it to ever again happen. Evander Holyfield also appears to be
on a self-destructive course, Lennox Lewis appears to have the sense to pack it
in, but it bugs him no doubt that he isn't getting deserved respect. All three
of these guys need a huge retirement party in Las Vegas to send them off. They
all should quit with the respect they deserve. Not in boxing... Kent, do you
remember Grant's match with Andrew Golota? Golota had him bleeding all over for
six rounds. Grant, with his size and muscle, couldn't beat Mac Foster. Grant is
a poster boy for today's division. With all the happenings regarding Tyson,
Holyfield, Bowe, Golota is it any wonder few take the sport, or at least the
heavies, seriously in the last 15 years? And people want to know why I prefer
the good old days ...|

really did even just 1% ofthe bad things he is accused to have done heis
a motherfucker... He had several arrests before 12 years old. It's true, people
take advantage of him, but he is no Madre Teresa di Calcutta ! Don' t you agree
?|

prime Bowe was better than a prime Lewis ?|

Galota is another example of an underacheiving large heavyweight. He had all of
the tools to be a force in the division, and he did give a past his prime Bowe
hell for two fights, but here again is another mental case. He just couldn't
stop fouling Bowe, even though he had both fights won. He also has had problems
outside of the ring.In one of Tyson's latter day devastating
performances, Tyson walked right through Golota's punches and Tyson destroyed
Golota inside of two rounds. I am sure if Golota had got his act together and
won the title or at least one of the major belts, and Tyson had retired early
and the two had never fought, then a lot of people would have been saying that
there is no way a smaller heavyweight like Tyson could beat such a big strong
guy like Golota, not true though.|

be crazy! tyson's body is of a modernday heavyweight, frazier's pales along side

possible. people like chris byrd being in the game show that we have been losing

old and fat Foremanalmost dominated the modern heavyweights !I'm not
sure that a post jail Tyson could havebeaten Foreman 2. Ali' beat Foreman
and Frazier once beat Ali'. Joe Frazier would have been great even in modern
times !|

because a guy has streach marks doesn't mean he on the juice, though it would
not supprise me about Tyson. I have them on my upper arms, upper back and rear
delts and I have never used steroids. I just lifted very heavy weights, the
same thing a lot of today's fighters do. As far as Tyson vs. Frazier, the early
Mike would have KO'ed Joe before the fifth round. The more recent version on
Tyson it's a toss-up. Iv'e always thought Foreman could KO Tyson. Massimo,
Foreman did not even come close to dominating the modern heavys, he beat a well
