If it goes more then 2 rounds I'll take Morrison.
If Tyson doesn't knock you out in the 1st round he's toast.
Tyson was overrated imo.
Anytime he had to actually box he was brutal.

Nobody could stand toe to toe with Tyson IN HIS PRIME BEFORE THE WIFE MADE HIM CRAZY

The argument that Muhammad Ali could is ridiculous

Tyson would knock him out by the 3rd round

It’s be a battle. Tyson was crazy from the get go. His wife brought to surface what was already there.

He’s still off but so much awareness and meaning in his presence. I’d love to meet him and talk for an hour. A world of wisdom in him for sure.

I sometimes think Tyson was overrated. But who knows. I wouldn’t want to be hit by him. He could be vicious. lol

Speaking of Tyson, this NEVER gets olds

I have never seen that clip before. I have seen others where Tyson went off. The interviewer had to expect that bringing up the rape conviction would trigger Mike. Meanwhile Mayor Ford was a disgrace who did coke everywhere and was accused of abusing just about anyone he came in contact with.

Lol. Had never seen this before....

That has to be the most hilarious line of questioning ever. Promote him then a rape question and then quickly scamper back to soft ball questions and promoting.

So he is concerned for the mayor and him being a convicted rapist but has no problem promoting a convicted rapist. Makes sense. Haha

Like Tyson said "piece of shit."

If you are going that route you better stay on it...

What he did was such a cowardice move.

Basically...screams "rapist!" And then "so tell us more about this show, i hear its great!"....haha

The ‘80s version of Tyson before Cus D’mato died would be roughly -1000 vs Morrison, cmon now.

There is some truth to him being overrated, but that’s compared to all time great heavyweights. Not Morrison.

Right on....Guys like Lewis, The Real Deal, and many more were better than Tyson easily. I remember years ago, Holyfield's trainer (Don Turner I believe), said Tyson cannot box with an actual world class boxer.

Who ya got?

Be a brutal battle.
I was just reading about Tommy Morrison the other day ..... The kid was basically a " White " Mike Tyson ?

He had 52 fights ? & was 48-3-1 in his career ( 42 ko's )

In Tyson's prime I don't think he was overrated

It didn't matter what opponent you put in front of him, they werent gonna be able to hide forever and sooner or later Mike was going to pulverize them

It's like any other all time great athlete where you don't judge their elite career based on their latter years when they begin to slip

line would have been even higher - as t0 Ali - of course Mike could win early but Ali would win the vast majority by dancing and holding through the storm - if it went to the 3rd round Tyson would not win 1 in a 100 - his head would just get tap danced on - but Tyson is one of the best ever in his prime years

Was a prime Tyson better then a prime foreman?

Because Ali made foreman look pretty silly. I would have to think he would have done the same to a prime Tyson---not to even mention Ali was no longer even close to his prime when he fought foreman.
