Rocky Marciano. NO question about him being The Geatest.
Muhammad Ali. Great boxer, great showman.
Joe Louis.
was actually one of the worst boxers in history.Once he slipped he never came back anyways good,was useless over the distance and never had to fight anything like the talent that Ali fought.In fact the only bit of good talent he did foght hammered him ,twice.Hollyfield.
Tyson:rolleyes:
Westside.
Muhammad Ali
Manny Pacquiao
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
......but Boxing is a pussy's sport compared to MMA
MMA is for homos - two hairless naked men writhing around on the ground rubbing up against each other.
Ric, are you listening? :D
iron mike is a heavey weight legend,not the greatest ever but a legend,the youngest ever champion.he won his first 19 fights by ko and knocked 12 of tohse out in the first two rounds.youngest man to hold three heavy divisions at once.champ when he was 18 and undisputed three division champ by 20.he had an unexpected loss to buster douglas and that sent him off the rails,went to prison for three years and never recovered.tried to make a comeback but was using drugs and in and out of prison,only then did he lose to the likes of holyfield and lewis
he had an unexpected loss to buster douglas and that sent him off the rails,went to prison for three years and never recovered.
This is what seperates a legend from a non legend.The ability to cope with adversity and loss.Tyson gets knocked out and couldnt get his head together again.Ali came back time after time ,again and again.So did Evander Hollyfield.Tyson is well down on the list of boxing legends.
Marciano was unbeaten and was fighting heavyweights at a far lighter bodyweight.
Ali came back again and again to prove he was the greatest.
Jack Johnson fought and beat whites at a time and in an era and place where blacks were hated.
Max Baer could get back up again and again.
An old guy called Bonecrusher Smith destroyed Bruno and earlier took Tyson the distance.
Paterson,Dempsey,Louis all proved that they can fight anywhere ,anyone,anytime.
What did Tyson come back from?He beat Bruno?Big deal.Bruno was a slow useless slob.Tyson had no heart,he proved this over and over again in that once he was beaten he never recovered.
no heart = no legend,
Westside.
MY three would be
Rocky Marciano
Ali
Sugar Ray Robinson
nbt
Patrick 'Bomber' O'Neill - Moyross
Kev 'Knuckles Bastard' Dunne - Southill
Jack 'Brick Shithouse' Kennedy - Garryowen
your miles out,tyson had three or four fights after that loss and won them all,think three knockouts and one decision.the fight with holyfield was arranged date and venue confirmed but then tyson got sent to prison for three years.he came out of prison and the fight was rearranged,but he was after spending the last three years in jail,he was never going to win.three years out of the sport.its the jail term he never recovered from,he did recover from the loss.by that time he was finished and had a few more stupid fights,even lost to kevin mcbride and hes crap.
Tyson did not avoid anyone,he fought and beat all belt holders of his era,
He fought who after his loss?Exactly shit.Bruno was useless.Hollyfield wanted to fight Tyson years before Tyson ever went to prison and the Tyson camp always came up with some bs not to fight him.
FFS he never recovered from the jail term?He grew up in the rough areas of Brooklyn ffs.He would easily recover from his jail term.It was the Buster knockout.He never recovered mentally from that.Physically yep but mentally nope and that in my mind is why he was never nor will be never in the same shoes as Robinson,Ali,Foreman,Norton,FRaizer etc.Tyson just had no heart.
Westside.
your telling me that 3years in jail away from pro boxing wouldnt effect you,course it would,3 years away from any pro sport and its near impossible to get back to the same level.tyson and ali the two most well known names in boxing history.youngest ever world champ,youngest ever three divison world champ.a record that says 58fights 50wins 44by way of knockout,44 fuckin knockouts out of 58 fights,2 no contest and 6 losses all at the tail end of a dead career.the man is a legend.if you could ask any of the boxers you mentioned was tyson a legend there would only be one answer.i looked him up man,he fought every belt holder and contender there was to fight.dont get me wrong im not putting him in the same class as the likes of ali and robinson,but he is a boxing legend
Tyson fight before he was to fight holyfield and went to prison was against a olympic gold medal and pan american silver medal winner,doesnt sound like a nobody.he knocked him out in the first round.
and Ali is proof of that.He had his boxing licence taken,came back and fought Fraizer and lost and not once did he loose his heart.He came back later to win the heayweight crown again.In fact he hammered Foreman (a man who would give Tyson a good run for his money) to a pulp in a few secs.Thats a legend,thats a real boxing champ.Incidently Ali fought far great calibre of opponents than Tyson ever did.Bruno,Douglas etc all with the exception of Hollyfield and James Bonecrusher Smith would be mediocre in comparison to some of Alis opponents.
Tyson isnt in the same class as Ali or Robinson because he isnt a legend like those two were.
Westside.
I rathered the Bolt v Johnson debate. What's it to be next next week, Federer v Sampras? Woods v Nicklaus? Stirling Moss v Michael Schumacher :D
What about Rocky ? He came outta nowhere and beat Apollo Creed.

You cant beat these boxers

Killing a guy dosent count for much in my book that probably just shows
how unevenly matched they were this was quiet common in the early days of boxing.
Well i think we both agree that is a pretty cheap shot in a sport as most fighters will
automatically try to rise even if badly dazed and would be open to getting really badly hurt
Tyson was good for his era no question there but in reality there is an endless list of boxers who would of wiped the floor with Tyson.
For a start Foreman would have killed Tyson inside 5 rounds and Frazier would beaten him too.
There is isn't a heavyweight champion from after the 70's who would get into my all time top 10. Well except Foreman HAHAHA!
My Top Three
1. Muhammed Ali "The Greatest" No fighter who would have beaten Ali right before his boxing ban in 67
2. "Suger" Ray Robinson
3. "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler
My Top Six
4. "Smokin" Joe Frazier
5. Rocky "The Rock from Brockton" Marciano
6. Joe "Brown Bomber" Louis
Oh Yeah, Marciano also fought Jersey Joe Walcott who was a legend and Jersey Joe would of bashed Tyson too
