How do you rate 90s Mike Tyson?

[thebrownbomber_]

- -Tyson signed Mercer to tune up for Lewis who sued to prevent.

They settled out of court with a sweeter cut for Tyson not that he was ever able to hang on the vast sums he generated then.

He shouldve taken a few tune ups at the top level before lewis. Maybe he wouldve done better.

Mike was still decent, but not what he once was. A bit of a cherry picker. Lost badly to Holyfield and Lewis.

- -Neither having any relevancy when Mike was 21 and King of all he surveyed as the first 4 belt unified and lineal champ.

Timeline is your friend...just sayin'.

I rate him as a prime example of a front runner. As soon as anyone stood up to him he started to fold. Great technique and no heart.

Mike was badly rocked vs Bruno in their first fight. It was on that night that I said to myself, oh my he can be beaten. The odds makers didn't think so until a 48-1 Buster Douglas came along and badly beat Tyson.

Beating Spinks or an over weight Tubbs didn't impress me much outside of how quickly he beat them. His best win could be Pinky Thomas.

IMO Team Tyson avoided Tim Witherrpsoon who could have pulled this own Buster Douglas. Just saying

I agree Tyson was better in the 80's, but I still think he was good in the 1990's.

Wrong again. I can name Hagler right off the top off my head.

So is history.

Time to study up...

He actually doesn't realize that it only took 3 belts to unify any championship and become undisputed champ back then? Holy Geez.

So you don't believe that a beotch of a woman (and her mom), a crooked promoter, his mentor dying and your circle of trust destroyed, because you were the youngest unified Heavyweight champion had anything to do with it.

Tyson before the 90's was an A bomb, a BA bomb more specificly. If he was stood up to back in the mid to late 80's he would have walked right through them, leaving them in concussed heaps deep in the canvas. In the 90's he had lost his hunger for it with the lose of his money and his wife. He lost his love for her, the sport and was just sleep walking through it for the money. A broken heart can kill a boxer.
What else could he do?

In short, he was little like the fighter we saw destroying fighters in the 80's. Night and day.... Love and hate.

He's certainly no Lomachenko in the firmament, is he, Grand Wizard?
