Post prison? Yes. 1988 Mike Tyson?

That’s a much different fight.
Doesn't matter what year...he was never a good boxer against world class talent. Take away his troubles in life, he would hardly ever be talked about

Sure it does. 1988 Mike Tyson was WAY better than the 2002 Mike Tyson that got owned by Lewis.

1988 version good enough to beat Lewis in his prime? That's debateable. But to say it doesn't matter what year/version of Tyson is dumb.

I would say pre buster douglas mike Tyson

1990 maybe? So not far off
1988 was the year he beat Spinks. And just a year or so after he knocked out Trevor Berbick to win the Heavyweight Title I believe. He was still hungry then and had a couple title defenses under his belt. So I picked that year as probably being his peak. Before the money and Robin Givens really got to him.

So Mike Tyson pays a premium for a First Class ticket to basically keep him away from the hoi polloi, and yet they allow this retarded moron to sit behind him?

I wanna say Berbeck was November 86 when he won his first title. He was 20 then?

loved watching him and loved it that most of his fights were on HBO.

Spinks was the 90 second fight, right.
Something tells me that was summer of 89 (not looking it up, just going from memory)

a moment of truth
