My Top Ten Greatest Heavyweight Champs Of All Time!

[Jim Jeffries]

He is. Two time heavyweight champ "Iron" Mike Tyson is an amazing man.

Oh yeah, and Tyson really held on to those two belts he won from Frank Bruno and Bruce Seldon right a long time right?

C'mon man. I know you know boxing well. Tyson,Friazer,Marciano, all short guys in the heavyweight divsion, they where all done by the time they hit 30. You know this.

Truthfully compare Frazier and Marciano to Tyson. Had he ever been in the kind of wars these guys endured? Beside Rocky was near 30 before he won the title, so that analogy is out the window.

The point is these guys went thru various, grueling fights while Tyson did not. The tough fights are what give you the wear and tear, not the style you have.

Marciano had 5 successful title defences after turning 30, before he retired at 32 so he wouldn't have to give his crook of a manager another cent. And Frazier had a war with Ali and KO'd Quarry and Ellis after turning 30.

yea and what about tony tucker and mitch green

The Mitch Green fight was not a tough fight all Green did was survive he never hurt Tyson at any time in that fight and apart from the first round when Tony Tucker rocked Tyson with the uppercut and a few nice shots he never really hurt Tyson i give Tucker credit he won 3 or 4 rounds vs prime Tyson but that was not really a tough gruling fight believe me even though Tucker managed to win about 3 rounds maybe 4 rounds and he was doing decent in the first 4 rounds but after that Tyson pretty much dominated up until the 12th round when Tucker had another good moment if i remember right in the closing stages of the fight.

The 1st Ruddock fight was not that much of a tough fight either except for the 30 seconds Ruddock had in the 6th round when he rocked Tyson it was pretty much a one sided fight the 2nd Ruddock fight was a war though i will agree on that.

[The Iron Man]

How dare you compare Tyson to Louis or Ali. And yeah it wasn't a knockdown, but could still barely get up, and then he quits on his stool right afterward. But Tyson really handled himself in that fight, tried to break McBride's arm, intentially headbutted him in the eye and threw numerous elbows and forearms.

They are just two examples, his a great i know louis and Ali are the top 2, but that doesnt make it right. It just shows disrespect, something that is brought on by bias. Yeh tyson tried some dirty tactics in the fight, at least he didnt try to blind some Ali!. Its blown out of proportion, there were plenty of dirty fighter Holyfield wins plenty of fights by headbutting.Its what comes with boxing sometimes. But that werent the argument, your just taking the piss no respect at all. The guys we talk about all helped the sport of boxing, made it exciting to watch, its pretty harsh bringing them down all the time and having avatars like that. How some respect
