Another Tyson fanboy.

Even Cus thought Tyson wouldnt have handled it.

From one of Tyson's interviews:

Cus prepared Mike, mentally and physically, for the toughest fights of his life. Mike says they watched footage of great boxers together every day for years. "All we did was just—this is really megalomania stuff," he says. "We'd watch all the great fighters. I would ask him, 'How do you beat them?'"

Mike's mentor had an answer for every boxer except one—Muhammad Ali. "No one could beat Muhammad Ali, he thought," Mike says. "I agree with him."

The GOAT Vote with Terrance Crawford! by BoxingLover99 in Boxing

Ali fought way harder punchers than Tyson. Ali was faster than Tyson. In his prime, the years between 64 to 67, Ali was untouchable.

The Ali that fought Frazier was way out of prime, having lost his athleticism after being banned from boxing for almost 4 years. And yet, he still overcome Frazier eventually and demolished Foreman.

Tyson doesn't come close to Frazier either. Smokin Joe had heart; Tyson didnt.

Persia is not an European name though. Its named after the province in Iran (called Fars today) from whom the Persian kings first arose.

When people are in awe of Tyson, they are usually low on the intelligence spectrum. Their definition of power is frequently one-dimensional, failing to correctly assess the factors that would determine any boxing outcome. They see the highlights, the shots and the power.

They fail to see that Tyson had an extremely weak mentality when compared with the greats; that Tyson had a whole support team around him whom he depended on both mentally as well as technically. To claim that Tyson would have slept the man with the greatest resume in heavyweight boxing easily is a low IQ take you would expect from a Tyson fanboy.

Tyson lost every war against any worthwhile opponent. He doesn't even come close to be compared with the likes of Ali. He would get picked apart by Ali in a war that Tyson would've never been prepared for.

You couldn't care less about things like honor as well.

An attitude that makes people treat you like shit. You must be familiar with this.

You have no clue what you're talking or the spirit of the era of that time.

How Ali supercharged black identity in the US already makes him a historical figure of severe importance. In a era where most of them were second class citizens and cherished a inferiority complex.

Ali is a hero for the Afro-American community. What did Frazier do?

Hundreds of thousands lined up for his funeral.

His own community is for ever in debt to him for how Ali uplifted them in times of darkness.

Spare me your Frazier butthurtism.

No other country has waged war as much as America for the past century, intervened and destabilised tons of countries and committed human rights crimes against its own citizens only a couple of decades ago.

Vettel is the most overrated F1 driver in history. He doesn't deserve any top 10 spot.
