Alright all
Just starting a thread for some debate about the best ever heavyweights, in their prime.
For me, nobody beats Ali. But Tyson had the potential to become to best ever. In his prime, not many would be able to handle him IMO.
Light-hearted debate lads Over to you.
The Best Ever

Mike Tyson is a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic. Does some comedy now.
If this doesn't make you laugh, nothing will.

Looks a lot smaller now, definitely under 200lbs

Talking more about Tyson as a person as a boxer in the last few comments, the life he lived was tough, no 2 ways about it. Having your world collapse around you when the entire planet is watching can't be easy.
On another note, great to see he's turned his life around.

Cus, did a good job as a trainer, but did a terrible job as a father.
Cus was only interested in getting the another heavyweight champ, and knew he didn't have long left.
He never disciplined Tyson, allowed him to get away with everything.
And when Tyson sexually molested Altas's 11 year old niece, and Atlas put a gun to Tyson's head and said you $%&* with my family again and I'll kill you, Cus chucked Atlas out.
Tyson got screwed over, by a few people, he deserves for what he did. Dude is lucky he manage to have some type of career now.

I could debate Tyson with you for a week mate. Unbelievable individual, nobody will ever live a life like his again.
The world of boxing needs someone of his stature to come through and step into the ring.

Hayemaker
Agreed
And with the nature of boxing, it needs bad boys

Exactly LIW, boxing is just a show. Entertainment.
There was never a dull weigh in, interview, press conference or fight with Tyson. That's why he was so popular.
He had a horrible streak in him, but no matter what anyone says, he was a unique individual that had the world gripped.

Did you check out my thread called, Mike Tyson Boxing Student.
About a documentary with Carpenter he did once.
A good watch.
I recommend it, if you haven't seen it.

Tyson got exposed. He was KOd in his prime. Not the best ever - that would be the K-Bros. Exposed!
