go back to when Tyson was still actually boxing at a high level, and I think he could beat anybody I've ever seen.

David Jaco was 6'6" and not far removed from beating Razor Ruddock. Tyrell Biggs was 6'5" and the undefeated #1 contender at the time. Jose Ribalta was a rummy but he was 6'5" and beat Leon Spinks! Thomas knocked the shit out of all 3 of those guys. Tony Tucker and Mitch Green were both 6'5" and lost to Tyson. And then there was Lennox Lewis who is 6'5" and fairly well whupped him. But by then he was washed. He was the caricature you're portraying him as now. So he couldn't dodge those jabs to get inside and he was slow enough that if he did get in there, fighters just leaned on him because he couldn't do that little deke and drill 'em with the uppercut anymore; just wasn't fast enough. Tyson fought plenty of tall fighters and handled all of them when he was in the prime we're talking about. When he got to the latter half of his career and tried to be a puncher, he struggled against them. But again, I just think that's the version you remember of him - not the version of him in his prime.

Bottom line, I saw the fall off in Tyson, my brother hadn't. We put $200 on the fight, and Douglas ended up winning. I was being a poor winner, laughing and carrying on, and he lost it. But we'd watched every Tyson fight except his first one? together. Tyson was a monster. All that speed, power and an absolute assassin. Maybe the best boxer i ever saw, and my favorite fighter was Ali. Then he just stopped being a boxer at some point, and was just a thug. Had seen enough of Douglas to know that he wasn't great, but he had that jack-hammer jab. Some fights anyway. Between that length and jab, and the erosion of Tyson's skills/technique, i thought it was a good bet.

If it was a sanctioned fight with rules, Bruce would have a chance as long as he didn’t get hit. If Tyson gets a solid shot in that’s it. He would break Lee. Non sanctioned Tyson wins even faster.

I dont give a **** how much faster you think Lee is than Tyson, a man on the level of Tyson is going to land punches. Didn't Bruce Lee only have 1 official fight? We are sitting here discussing whether or not a man who built his accolades in the movies and demonstrations at 130lbs could beat one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Holy shit balls.

Lee was a small dude but anyone who can do two-finger, one-handed push-ups is definitely going to be able to maintain a chokehold if you give it to him. |
