Part 1: • Aries Spears Hilarious...
--------
Comedian Aries Spears passionately defended boxing legend Mike Tyson against claims of being the most overrated heavyweight champion. Spears and Vlad delved into Tyson's prime years under trainers Cus D'Amato, Kevin Rooney, and Jimmy Jacobs, emphasizing his fierce dominance. They argued that disruptions in Tyson's life, including a turbulent marriage and a controversial prison sentence, derailed his career. Vlad highlighted Tyson's unruly behavior before major fights, using the example of Tyson's loss to Buster Douglas after a night of partying. Spears asserted that a focused Tyson would have demolished Douglas and likely triumphed over Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis. Spears emphasized that despite Tyson's losses, his stunning victories and boxing prowess can't be ignored.
Tyson with Cus is a scary beast
He actually won the world championship after Cus died, he fell off after Kevin Rooney stopped training him
@@jameshurtado5389 exactly and cus died the same year Mike turned pro
Add kevin rooney and indestructible
He was under hypnosis by a freema s on (cus)
@@jameshurtado5389 He did because Cus was still around him, mentally, after that prison and King, all gone.
I've NEVER heard anyone call Tyson Overrated
Most serious boxing fans say he over rated.

Yooooo. I'm like huh? I'm 48 yrs old, and I aint never heard no sht like that. Hilarious!
Tyson could never beat Evander EVA

Even despite those shortcomings, Tyson's career was STILL legendary. Shout out to Iron Mike
His personality was legendary

“I was AT that fight when the Fan-Man came down!”
“Listen! I interviewed Riddick Bowe AND Holyfield!” 😂
😅 I caught that 2.. u kno Vlad gotta feel like he’s in the mix
@@morrishawkins9659everytime LMAO 🤣
As a boxing purist these type of discussions and the comment section that comes with them are infuriating. Nobody knows WTF thdy are talking about lol.. Mike Tyson is the casual boxing fans goat. They base his greatness off highlight clips and not what he actually did.
Facts. Losing record against hall of famers. Never got of the canvas to win a fight. 4th best heavyweight of his era. Don King did an amazing job PROMOTING Mike. And America swallowed it.
They know his actual record is trash …so they try to argue away his losses to have the conversation about him being this “Undefeated/Prime” goat….
But it makes him look more pathetic cause unless ur floyd or Andre ward….the fact is EVERYBODY LOSES…. Ali has 4 losses he is still the Greatest!
Lennox has 2, he’s still the Lion.
Foreman has 4 He’s still ferocious
Holyfield has 10 Ls…he’s still the fkn Real Deal…..But them cats have Real heads that they chopped.
Tyson fans know he dont have no real heads…so they gotta Deflect and argue!
@@scream1237facts couldn't have said it better myself also nobody gives holy field credit for beating Tyson after he was diagnosed with a heart condition
@scream1237 Sounds like another Mike in professional sports--JORDAN.
What made him great to the casual fans is that when he fought low level opposition he get them out 1 or 2 rounds. Ask them "Who was the best opponent Tyson beat on his resume?"

BIG FACTS!!
I agree. I love Boosie but these two are GOLD. I heard they’re doing a pod together in the future. Aries said it in a Vlad interview some months ago but idk how serious he was when he said it lol
@@samchristian37 they did a test episode already. It was good
Honestly Mikes biggest opponent he lost to was himself. Im sorry but if mike didn't do drugs, party all night, and go to jail. He would be the best heavyweight ever.
This proves that he was overrated. He’s one of the only athletes who’s career is based off of hypotheticals.
Agreed
CAP = his career fell-off the second Cus D'amato died = that's how Robin Givens got near him, which is the main reason why his career took a tailspin ultimately because that's the only reason why he lost to Buster Douglas, which was the beginning of the end of his career.....all that bad-stuff you're talking about came afterwards
@@Mikeaj-un6mfwrong. Many people say if guys like grant hill, mcgrady, penny etc didnt have serious injuries they wouldve been up there with the all time greats. And he isnt overrated, cuz nobody says he had an all time great resume. Well nobody whose opinion is worthy.
But he did lol..that's like saying if I wasn't fat and lazy I could have played in the NBA
Tyson always had an excuse when he loss but never had the heart to avenge any of them!
Tyson didn’t have heart, it could’ve been different if Cus or Jim Jacobs had lived.
The A** whooping he took for 8/9 rounds from Lennox Lewis proved Tyson had hella 🖤 he could've quit by rnd 3 but left it all in the ring that night @@cedricbeard4609
@@cedricbeard4609I remember right after Tyson was released from that Indiana state penitentiary. He held a press conference, and proclaimed he converted to the Nation of Islam.
Is Tyson still involved in the Muslim faith?
@@m.scottreeder Yes, Mike is still a Muslim.
@@cedricbeard4609 For the record, I hope Mike Tyson knocks Joke Paul into the next country. I never thought the ear-biting incident against Holyfield was ever funny, and I knew beforehand that Tyson was going to destroy Andrew Golota.
What I didn’t expect was Golota walking out of the ring before the fight was declared over. Golota got PELTED with food, and ice slushies.😂😂😂
Tyson was never the same after the Buster Douglas beat down . But Tyson stood the biggest draw in boxing for years .
Aries is right. A focused Mike Tyson would've had a legendary run as the heavyweight champion of the world.
Either way Tyson is one of the greatest to ever do it. I don’t think he’s on the same level as Muhammad Ali or Joe Fraser but he’s damn near in the discussion.
@flyguy7825 Actually, he is on the same level as those fighters. They all said in interviews that they wouldn't have beaten him in his prime. Ali was one of them. He's legendary.
And that's why people overrate him. They base it on a what if rather than what his career actually panned out.
He had a legendary rise
@@bilogskii2216 Facts 💯. If Broner would just let his hands go... He wins the fight. A little exaggerated example but you know what I mean.

All I keep hearing is IF IF IF… Listen we all love Tyson but the fact of the matter is he lost to buster Douglas, Holyfield twice and Lennox Lewis… we definitely overrate his career out of love for him
Obviously you don't know what you talking about I love Mike but he was a coke head when he fought Lennox
Man those loses don’t mean he’s overrated. Tyson is just rated where he needs to be.
FACTS
@@Wayne-cs6jc Excuses
@@Wayne-cs6jc Everyone mike fought in the 80's where washed up coke heads. Tyrell biggs had just come out of rehab and he lasted 7 rounds against a prime 80's Mike. Tony Tucker was a heroin addict and he went 12 rounds with mike in 87.. even won some rounds against him.
Did he really just say Lennox Lewis is known for not having a Chin?
Oliver McCall hasim Rahman
He's American. Education isn't something that is valued much over there. And the shots he took against Rahman and McCall would have ko'd most fighters. Not as if they threw jabs at him smh.
Right. Lewis took hella punches from Ray Mercer for Christ sakes lol lewis got a solid chin.
Ali is the Goat…..But Lennox is definitely the Boat….Dude beat every man he’s ever faced .No chin vs , Ruddock ,Mercer, Briggs, Golota, holyfeild, rahman, Tua and when he was totally washed fat and old, he stopped the future heavyweight champ that would go on to be undefeated for the next 10 yrs…..Vitaly Klitschsko. …Only Tyson fans dont give the Lion his props!

@@Infam0usKiller not even close bro
At all
@@scream1237Berbick is only famous because he fought and beat a way past his prime Muhammad Ali.
How come a prime Tyson didnt destoy Tillis?
Mike is my favorite fighter of all time. But this video proves why Tyson is overrated, cuz his fanboys/idolaters say silly shit nonstop. Dwelling in hypothetical, living in fantasy and not in reality. Aries said it himself that Mike didnt have the focus of Floyd and others who were greater than him.
@@anthonynegron788 Exactly.. all I hear is a bunch of “ifs”…
Bro Tyson’s not overrated I look at the video and I looked at the film too. There were holes in his game, but everybody has holes in their game. Either way you cannot deny that this dude is one of the best ever do. It is not overrated.
BARS!!!!!!
@@flyguy7825people think he’s overrated because he never really beat any other great. I don’t think it was because of his skills. Plus when you take him past 5-6 rounds there’s a chance you can beat him.
@@flyguy7825 He is overrated if you class him as THE best ever, he isn't if you class him as one of the legends of boxing, he deserves those flowers
People are talking too much trash. He didn’t fight Holyfield or Lewis In his prime so how would you ever know..
They all the same age..
Holyfield and Lewis still smash the junky in his prime, also character counts and Mike never had it
@@rickgora2952 let’s see you smash the junky in his prime or right now even. This is what I ment with talking trash also people know and can do anything in the comments.
@@jamalmarsh2617 but they didn’t fight each other in each other’s prime regardless of the circumstances. Quit talking game when you’re not on nothing.
Mike wasn’t in his prime with Holyfeild and Lewis……(of course they wouldn’t be able to do what Buster Douglas did…😂😂😂)
The effort on this really shows!
If your a boxing fan which I am, I love Mike but name his biggest opponent that he beat?🤔 I’ll wait. All his big fights he lost🤦🏾♂️
I said the same thing. They'll probably say Larry Holmes who was 38 years old and fat. Lol😂. He fought two other Hall of Famers from his era and lost.
@@bobbyjackson7325 compare that to someone like Floyd
When your record against Hall of Famer's is ZERO wins and three losses.. yet you still get mentioned as one of the best boxers ever.. Yes, you are overrated. Mike was a very good fighter, fast, powerful, explosive and skilled, but his overall record isn't even strong enough to crack the top 40 list.
Here's the truth about Tyson. He lost ALL of his biggest fights. Holyfield fights and Lennox Lewis fights. Those are his legacy fights!
Those fights are what would have made him everyone #1 on every list and no debate.
Those L's smh broke him
Losing record against hall of famers. Never got off the canvas to win a fight. Never avenged any of his losses in a rematch. He is the fourth or fifth best heavyweight of his era: 1) Lewis, 2) Holyfield, 3) Bowe, 4) Tyson/Douglas (and I am being nice to Mike there). Mike was a great boxer. But if you are not top 3 in your era, you should not be called an all-time great. To put him anywhere near Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston, Rocky Marciano, Jack Johnson, George Foreman, Lennox Lewis, the Klitscho Brothers and Joe Frazier is ridiculous. Simply moronic.
Lewis is not known for having a chin 😂😂😂 what
He got one punch KO from Rahman and oliver mccall
@skrillaman2368 tyson has been knocked out 5 times, lewis twice 😂😂😂. That is heavyweight boxing always has been. Tyson fans just hate lewis because he was clearly better
@@stephenmccann3407 tyson doesnt get knocked out from one punch!!
@stephenmccann3407 and they hate lewis because he destroyed the fuck out tyson
@@skrillaman2368 lewis also destroyed tyson. Lewis is a far better fighter, tyson unfortunately was just way too small at the top level
Most people wouldn’t even be alive had they lived the life Mike did. Him having MILLIONS of Dollars back in the 80’s being 20yrs old. Most people would’ve crashed out. Mike is forever legendary to be able to survive everything he’s been through which is why he always praise god to allow him to still be alive to talk about it to this day
I don't know what's so hard about this. For a few years, he was one of the best ever. Then he wasn't one of the best anymore. You can say if you pinpoint a moment in time, he'd beat all these dudes. But if you're talking greatest overall, he can't technically rank with those dudes because he doesn't have the credentials they have. This stuff is easy man. Why is everyone struggling with this? We've had decades to process this.
Nobody was knocking dudes out in one minute. Youngest heavyweight champion ever. Those other greats have lost on their records as well. They could have fought him when he was dominating but didn't. Mike tyson beat himself.
@@rickymckinnon5393 Yeah, that's why I said if you take him from his prime which was 3 years, that Tyson could beat anyone. But when you're losing to several dudes just from your own era and there's no excuse for it because they're actually older than you, then you're not the best from your era. Therefore, you're not the greatest of all time. You'll hold losses against fighters in their thirties and forties, but Tyson fanboys make it like nothing counts for Tyson after he's 22 lol.
Agreed, I know we’re living in the era where so many rewrite history but his resume is there. In his prime he beat over the hill Larry Holmes and Michael Spinks who retired after the fight. Now compare that to the resume of prime Ali/ Holyfield and Lennox Lewis and where are you putting Mike?
@@rickymckinnon5393Name one other great that he beat, to be the best you have to beat the best, honestly I remember some knock outs ,but don’t remember most of there names, we can talk all day on what he could have been if this or that, but EVER TIME he fought another top fighter, down went Tyson, them plumbers he was knocking out loss before they even stepped in the ring, most was terrified, and terrible boxers. Not all but most for sure.
He was on drugs dude. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. He was a monster
Mike was a super beast back in the 80s n 90s still one of the great
RIDDICK IS SO GOOD HE EVEN HIT A COMEDIAN WIT A PRESCHOOL JOKE AND IT LANDED BRILLIANT
Mike Tyson was never called overrated by anybody. When Mike Tyson was w/ Kevin Rooney he was a beast. He was a monster, he was focused, motivated & would’ve beaten anybody. His downfall was Don King getting to him & taken advantage of him. He drove a wedge in between the people who help develop Tyson & Mike ended up firing them & going w/ Don King.
Part of being a great athlete is actually avoiding the “ifs.”
Tyson in his prime would have beaten Bruce Lee in a street fight.
Bruce Lee was only 150 pounds.
I can see why people say he's overrated.
He lost to every Hall of Famer with the exception of Spinks, who was two weight classes smaller. Other than that everyone he beat was average at best 🤷🏾♂️
Tyson actually called himself overrated.
Tyson saved a lot of lives. From 1986 to 1990, his fights were on Saturday nights. Check the stats, the murder rate wend down 87% when he was fighting. Even if is fight was 3 rounds, we would spend 4 hours talking about the fight. Big respect Iron Mike.
Mike is a great fighter but you cant name a elite fighter in his prime that he beat every time he went up against a big name he lost
he wasnt in his prime that was after he was in prison for 6 years and he was the only knockout artist tho and most fights were over in the first round name another fighter that has done that. Ill wait
Yeah unfortunately that's true but I will definitely say loosing his trainer(cus) and jail and drug problems were a issue
@@KobaniacMinded im sorry but i hear this excuse too much i feel like any fighter thats not scared of tyson can beat tyson watch that buster douglas fight in the stare down he wasnt scared of mike even while fighting he wasnt scared of mike and actually outboxed him on the inside. my point is any fighters like evander holyfield or lennox lewis were able to beat tyson because they werent intimidated by him.
@@MonstrMash123458943 I would never take anything away because yes especially Lennox and holyfield were just better, but his legendary trainer not being with him, doing drugs and drinking and prison time not being disciplined will hurt any athlete
@@KobaniacMinded People forget Cus died during Mike's first year as a pro. Mike became champ a year after Cus died. Teddy Atlas got bumped off super early into Mike's journey which made Kevin Rooney his trainer the rest of the way until he was fired. Basically Kevin Rooney was the guy.
But he DIDN’T have Floyd Mayweather focus. He peaked at 21-22. The loss to Douglas wasn’t because of one night of partying. That was two years of partying that caught up to him. He’s not ready for Holyfield 4 months after the Douglas fight.
Skill wise, he’s definitely not overrated. But if you look at his career and resume, he’s probably the most overrated athlete ever.
not enough public recognition is given to the big four. that was a crazy era of boxing.
Mike is 100% overrated, If you compare him to Lennox Lewis for example, Lewis has the much better record, he beat more world champs, had more title defences, he reigned for longer, he only lost twice and avenged both losses while mike lost 6 times and never avenged a single loss, so lewis had the much more impressive career and record yet Mike nearly always gets placed above Lewis in the rankings, which is ridiculous and almost the definition of overrated.
Mike Tyson is the most overrated boxer of all time. Tyson lost anytime he fought a elite boxer, if 1 could get over the intimidation factor of Tyson they could beat and did beat Tyson. Tyson is so loved because he was the most vulgar and controversial figure ever and the world had never seen that at the time and the world loved that about him.
Let me give you a fun fact I don't know if you don't believe me you can do this research on your own in 1989 Mike Tyson was 37-0, the reason I'm telling you this is because that's the same year Lennox Lewis made his, heavyweight debut, how do you call somebody overrated they cleaned out the entire heavyweight division before most of these guys even got started even Evander Holyfield was fighting at Cruiserweight while Mike Tyson had his run 37 fights by 1989 sorry but the fact of the matter is that's an entire career for most Fighters this day and age
Those 37-0 were against shitty boxers lol. @@MrPodford
@@MrPodford You could be 100-0 vs bums nobody cares. Holyfield started his career at Light Heavy, wound up Undisputed at Cruiser and Heavy. it's even more embarrassing Tyson got whupped by him TWICE at his natural weight class.
EXACTLY! ZERO wins against any HOF heavyweights in their prime. There are NO stripes for Tyson fighting part-timers whose knees were knocking during The National Anthem.
Mike Tyson was knocking out grown men when he was 12,and look at buster Douglas fight reff counted wrong when Mike knocked him down,do your home work
Vlad acting like interviewing riddick bowe and holyfield is the same thing as fighting them
Tyson is overrated . The ones calling him the goat are massively overhyping him. Guys like Louis, Ali, Holmes, Lewis Holyfield, all rank head and shoulders above Tyson. That isn't even up for debate. Guys like Foreman, Vlad Klitschko have a very strong case over Tyson too. You can't objectively have Tyson any higher than 8 and certainly he can't crack the top 5. That is giving Tyson the nod over guys like Frazier, Vitali Klitschko or even Fury ( who ended Vlad 9 year reign as champ and Wilder 5 year reign as champion) .
I HATE this argument. Being disciplined and staying away from all the bullshit tyson fell into is just as important as having the talent.
Aries on point
You mean delusional
Aries "if it's not from NY I don't care" Spears
Nah.. Holyfield had Tyson number. He was waiting on him since the Olympics.
I lowkey feel like Riddick Bowe would've took Tyson to 12 rounds. He might of won
Tyson beat up golota.. Golota was giving Bowe crazy work
A prime Riddick Bowe would of knocked Tyson! And Evander was Tyson’s Kryptonite, he had a chin and could bang and box!!!
strength of schedule matters! Riddick Bowe would have ANNIHILATED Tyson!
Julio Cesar Chavez Record
107wins 6 losses 3 draw and 86 Knockouts
One thing people forget is that Tyson started very very young and that was a huge factor in his case so there’s a chance that age itself ruined his game
Mike was never beating Holyfield, at any point in time. Same for Lennox, at no point was he gonna beat Lennox. We can’t separate his work ethic from his greatness, cause that is a huge part of what makes you great.
Problem is, when he lost against Buster Douglas’s, Jacobs was dead, he fired Rooney and he had pissed Atlas off. Don King took over and it was over for his career
Naahh, Holyfield was never scared of Mike. I believe he was beating Mike even when they was amateurs
Holyfield has too much reach, fundamentals and patience for Tyson, he can move around all day and sting him with the jab until tyson gets fed up and rushes in where he can catch him with a counter. Second fight would be no different from the first
Holyfield was 21, Tyson was 17.
Holyfield was grown , Tyson was NOT.
Holyfield himself said this MANY times
@@SnapsZGamingAs great as Holyfield is, i still see Mike Tyson on his best day knocking him out.
Prime Mike would’ve got past Holyfield’s jab bro but he wasn’t the same fighter in 1995, 1996
he was literally outta the ring for 4 years
@@izzyyizz5851 Again, he wasn't going to beat Holyfield
@@SnapsZGaming they already fought two times
Teddy Atlas made such an assessment of Mike Tyson…when he fought Lewis, and Holyfield he lost, he thought it was a matter of strong character…Ali had it Tyson didn’t.
People make too much excuses for Tyson. Saying he was out partying and wasn’t focus is even more of a reason to not recognise him as a great.
Aside from the other champs that he lost to, Big Daddy Bowe was the only one who would have been a problem for Tyson.
Mike Tyson vs Bowe would have been a seriously legendary fight!!!!
All I hear is IF IF IF… Ali was exiled too shit happens.. it’s abt how u bounce back n he didn’t, simple
Ali actually beat great fighters on both sides of his exile
Tyson, prior to getting arrested, was unbeatable. Cus trained Tyson to be a fighting machine, and Tyson is far from being overrated! Tyson was the real deal!
Aries = 🏆
I've never heard that in my entire life. Vlad is projecting again.
I could listen to you two all day, respect
Imagine if Tyson found a Freddie Roach or Mayweather as a trainer.
Ali beat at least 10 hall of famers tyson beat 2 larry holmes who came outta retirement after 2 years and micheal spinks . A light heavyweight who moved up to heavyweight he beat none of the elites in their prime
Not only is he the most overrated heavyweight ever, he might be the most overrated athlete in American history. What other athlete is glorified for what he did from 18-23 while having a 15+ year career??. When it comes to Tyson ppl always talk about “what if”. We gotta accept things for what they are not hypotheticals
Whats overrated about Tyson?

If if if if grandma had balls she'd be grandpa
Tommy(off Rocky V) vs Tyson would be ab awesome match in their prime
85-90 you don’t want none of that Mike .
Bobby Brown was bigger than Eddie Murphy, Mike Tyson, Ice Cube, Eazy E at the same time, and took Whitney Houston from Eddie Murphy when he turned 21.
Edit: Lennox Lewis is the #1 Heavyweight champion in history.
Bobby Brown--at the top of his game--was NEVER bigger than Eddie Murphy or Mike Tyson. And Lennox Lewis greatest Heavyweight ever? Stop it.
I don't think he overrated
But I can understand why people will call him overrated
Prime Tyson doesn’t beat Lewis . I know Tua isn’t Tyson…but Lewis handled that easily
He’s overhyped by the media so overrated by the casuals and underrated by the the fans. So he’ll always be an enigma . Teddy atlas said it best he was like a shooting star. So spectacular for that glancing moment, then he was gone. For one night against Micheal Spinks, he was perfect. No man in his prime past or present of future would of beaten him.. that’s what atlas said. And atlas is very critical of Tyson, but he even gives him that. And that’s what Tyson has over every fighter I the history of the sport. One night of utter invincibility.
Gotta remember Mike went 37-0 before he lost his first match 😢🥊
Over-rated? Yes.
Most over-rated HW champion ever? Uhhhhh... NO!
Bowe fought incredibly well when he was hurt. Lennox didn’t. That’s the only advantage he really had over him. Tyson didn’t do well when guys stood up to him, at least after the Douglas loss.
Clickbait.
I’ve never met ANYONE who said Mike was overrated
Tyson never avenged a loss. Ali avenged his first 3
He’s called Iron Mike for a reason.
The Holyfield disrespect is disgusting.
George Foreman and Evander Holyfield both openly admitted in two separate interviews that they were scared to fight prime Mike Tyson 🤷. And if I can remember, Lennox Lewis also was iffy about boxing Mike Tyson; but everyone that defeated Mike Tyson, except Buster Douglas (which he questionably defeated Mike Tyson), he was on the decline - not when Mike Tyson was renowned as "Iron" Mike Tyson the notorious knock out artist 🤷.
Tyson was iffy about fighting Lewis, he literally dropped a belt to duck him.
1st off I never heard anyone say this title
Prime Foreman destroys Tyson. Not even saying Tyson wasnt better. It’s just a terrible match up for Tyson.
Tyson had several good wins in his career. Spinks, Holmes are Hall of Fame boxers. Razor Rudduck was pretty good
Does Vlad have to remind everyone he's interviewed like that makes him their best friend.
I’m a big fan of Mike and what he’s been able to accomplish after boxing. As far as boxing goes, the reason anyone says he’s overrated is because he never beat any greats. Lost to Lewis, lost to Holyfield. Holmes was old when he beat him. So statistics wise, Mike wasn’t great but I’m pretty sure that if he was able to get in the ring with some of the greats, prime vs prime, he would have held his own. People forget he was in prison in what would have been his prime.
The whizzinator 😂🎉
I never ever heard
Tyson was suppose to fight Holyfield before prison, a lot of people just repeat what others say without actually seeing reality for themselves, but Tyson took out Alex Stewart in 1 round while Holyfield struggled with him for majority of the scheduled 12. There was a fallout contract on George Foreman’s team’s behalf with the Tyson fight, and people are acting like Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman are on Mikes level (the 2 guys who fought Lennox Lewis in the 90s and knocked him out cold). The difference is Tyson’s style is insane which is why Tyson himself is the one credited for being such an insane fighter, he managed to pull it off. The problem is, being how insane that style is for a human body to pull off, it takes its toll regardless of discipline. Lewis aged like wine, the same as Mayweather. Tyson’s style could never, ever in any way shape or form, get “better” or improve with age. It’s physically nonsensical.
Evander had been through wars was older had a diagnosed heart condition and still beat a 30 year old young Tyson! No excuses
Lennox got better with time, respectfully. Nah when Tyson was in his prime, Lewis was just decent
Tyson could have had a legendary run, the problem is that there were two boxers that might have beaten Tyson at his best and they are Lennox Lewis and Riddick Bowe.
They keep talking about the same conversations every interview am I the only one who notices that?!.
Tyson was fighting damn near monthly in the beginning
Never heard anyone say that before
Luv you Aries...let em know!
VLAD vs Tyson....book it!
Laila Ali said Tyson didn't have heart like her pop's, whom came back from losses to win the belt again.
Great interview
TYSON WAS THE DIRTIEST FIGHTER AND DESERVES HALF THE CREDIT HE GETS
