everyday because of Jerry being my boyhood Hero.I had to be his #1 fan.You guys
bring up some interesting things to think about. We took a train from Philly to
the Garden to see him KO Shavers That was the most exciting sporting event I
ever saw. If you take away the cut factor he would have been one of the all time
greats. As far as Tyson goes he looked devasting until he met with guys like
Douglas and Holyfield who weren't great fighters just good pros with enough
talent and expeirience to find Tyson's weaknesses. Ali, Quarry, Foreman would
have done the same thing........|

Frazier, and Foreman would have massacred Tyson, as would have any of the really
great champions of the past. Tyson, in his prime, was a talented and devastating
fighter who would have been rough trade for the above, but boxing is as much -
maybe more so - mental as it is physical, and in this department, Tyson was
bankrupt. The contenders of the 70s, many of whom would have been champions
without the likes of Ali, Frazier, and Foreman around, would also have taken
"Iron" Mike, maybe taking a little longer to do it. Quarry, with his rock chin
and deep bag of boxing tricks, Shavers, with a punch probably exceeded only by
Foreman, and Lyle, bomber from hell with a solid fundamental base, and all of
them about as intimidated by Tyson as they'd be by David Letterman, would have
completely discombobulated Tyson. He'd have either laid down, quit, or done
something bizarre and been disqualified, if they didn't knock him out first.|

realised after I posted that I wrote 'Louise' instead of 'Louis'. Tyson would
certainly have beaten Louise and Thelma but I couldn't back him against Ali and
Louis. Tyson was a great offensive fighter and when he bobbed and weaved he was
very good defensively. But mentally, when his opponent wasn't intimidated, he
had nothing. Now I must go off to work. |
|10/14/03 04:17:21 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|I think it's very harsh to say that
without Intimidation Tyson had ' nothing '. He had one of the hardest punches in
history, he was one of the quickest in history, he was one of the cleverest
fighters ever (open for debate I'm sure) his ferocity was unparalelled and he
was a good defensive fighter also. Definitely in my top 10. Still think he could
of have achieved more though. A real shame. A great great fighter. I think
Muffin man is strange. Kent you have a fan!|

to say that Ali, Frazier and Foreman would massacre Mike Tyson is a joke. Ali
would have to survive him for 6-7 rounds with jabs and movement to beat him
knowing that Mike could drop him at any time. Frazier was crushed by Foreman
because he is open defensively. Tyson had a punch like Foreman. Foreman- Tyson
could go either way, but as I said earlier, Tyson was much faster and better
fundementally, he would have a better chance. Being a fan is one thing, let's
keep it real. We're all Quarry fans, but no one has him beating Ali. That's the
reality.|
