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

real is to say that Mike Tyson was a complete chump and a loony who was blessed<br />
with athletic talent, something he exhibited against men not of a caliber of the<br />
70s crew. I know anyone can get caught, but Buster Douglas!?On the<br />
subject of complete fighters, which I'm largely bringing up actually, rather<br />
than answering, I can't think of a better, more complete, and flawless fighter<br />
than Roberto Duran. I probably can if I think, one as fundamentally sound and<br />
able to execute, but I doubt I could think of a ~better~ one! He's as much of a<br />
joy to watch work as Frazier, or a young Ali before he started playing offensive<br />
survivor.|<br />

Muffinman for the compliment and your concern but I don't respond to anything a<br />
certain someone says to me or about me.Massimo, yes Mitch Green had<br />
potential but he had some mental issues that got in the way of his potential.<br />
He was the second fighter to go the distance with Tyson and while he didn't come<br />
close to winning, he did show how holding could be used to frustrate Tyson, a<br />
tactic that Ali, partucularly an older Ali would use effectively. Tyson<br />
didn't turn out to be the next greatest like a lot of people were saying he was<br />
when he was on top but he is in my top ten of all time because when he was at<br />
his best, there are not many people from any era who could beat him. Maybe only<br />
Ali, Louis, Holmes, and Foreman. Joe Frazier would have to escape the first two<br />
rounds and then he might have had a chance. Ironically, our own <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong><br />
would have had a better chance of beating Tyson because of styles than either<br />
Frazier or Ken Norton. Norton too would have to survice that initial outslaught<br />
to have a chance. As I said in an earlier post, <strong>Jerry</strong> would be in real danger<br />
of having his tender cut prone skin busted up by the accurate punching of<br />
Tyson.|<br />

had to happen for Douglas to beat Tyson that day, if they'd fought 9 more times<br />
at other points in there careers, Tyson wins all of them, it's probably the<br />
greatest upset in sports history, not representative of either man's talent. A<br />
chump? What is that, something you heard on "Starsky and Hutch" ? Boxing is full<br />
of guys from poor backgrounds, Roberto Duran certainly fits this profile. Sonny<br />
Liston, Joe Frazier, Floyd Patterson and many others as well. <strong>The</strong>re's a lot of<br />
cause and effect with this very flawed guy, yes, but those that have managed<br />
Tyson have not taken care of him, they've used him. How many guys have been<br />
champ or damn near champ for 20 years? Tyson is a very rare talent. |<br />

copies me kent, Sonya don't trust this man, it is the clock man that should<br />
guide you. Kent is a man without a soul. He is a giant void, but let not your<br />
heart be troubled, the koo koo clock is here. sweet dreams to all. koo koo|<br />

He gave Tyson a good fight and he would have performed even better if he had not<br />
damaged a hand early in the fight ! A prime Tyson was great but wasn't even<br />
close to being unbeatable ! A prime Tyson lost to Buster Douglas !|
