Stealing car stereos or a bit of shoplifting at a kid gives you a "chequered past" Raping a young woman goes a bit beyond that wouldn't you say? I wonder how many of the middle aged men who still worship this psycho would feel the same way if it was their own daughter he abused. | |

What he's done is inhuman I agree, I've have condoned his past have I? I've just posted a video of him. I'm not middle aged and I've never worshipped him one iota, far from it, dear god. | |

It was the break up of team Tyson that ruined him , Tyson had cleared out the division and all of don kings fighters king had to get his hands on him and then jimmy jacobs his manager and good mate passed away king made his move got Tyson to sack the other manager bill Clayton and even worse got him to sack kevin rooney his coach , his last fight with rooney was with spinks, you watch him after that he becomes a head hunter , all the head movement gone the punches in bunches gone there was no happy family anymore they couldn’t control him like team Tyson ie keep him busy in and out of the ring , and also in the background was the money hungry model wife it was a recipe for disaster and that’s how it ended , the guy ended up broke he was a cash cow in the end , loosing to people who wouldn’t have laid a glove on him under Rooney , it’s sad really because he could have and should have beaten Marciano’s record and retired a rich man . I’m not going to say it but if you look at the ones who had his best interests and the ones who wanted to rob all his money , he really didn’t have a chance | | | |

Absolutely. Summed up perfectly. Lewis and Holyfield were amazing fighters who grew into to their best in their thirties. However prime Tyson with the right team and attitude would have destroyed them. Actually Lennox Lewis is quoted as saying before he fought Tyson that he thought as a fighter Tyson hadn't improved, in fact he thought he had got worse . [Post edited 23 Apr 2023 20:47]

Tyson needed to adapt his game really. He overwhelmed everyone in his early career with his energy, aggression and power but when he got older all of that inevitably waned a bit as it does for all of us and he struggled as a result. He was still trying to fight the same way at 35 as he did at 19 and got beat by bums as a result. As a fighter he’s probably the best of all time but as a boxer I doubt he’s even top 50. | |

Going off on a bit of a tangent here but I find it incredible that Swansea council has never officially recognised Marciano's links with the city . Not a plaque nor a statue to commemorate the fact that Swansea was where it all started for him. Mumbles -where he was billeted in the war or Wind street would be the perfect setting for a statue to him and also at the same time it would pay homage to all the American servicemen who came over here and took part in the liberation of Europe. | | | |

Tyson fought 3 truly elite fighters during his career he got smashed by two of them and only beat Holmes because the guy was passed it and middle aged, i would hope the likes of Bruno, Burbick etc would not be considered elite fighters, no doubt a prime Tyson would have mangled the likes of Fury and Usyk but there are quite a few of past greats that would have had is number especially as he did not have the heart for battle when the going got really tough. | | | |
